Hilton Papagayo Costa Rica Resort & Spa
My wife needed a holiday so I arranged to use all the Hilton Honors points that I had accumulated over a nine year period to arrange a holiday in Costa Rica for her and her best girlfriend. I also bought three additional days. When they arrived on a Friday, they were shown to their beachfront [...]
Great times in Panama
Boquete is a definite must for a Panama trek. The Quetzel trail around Vulcan Baru can be very tough, especially in heavy rain. I started in Cerro Punta and ended up in the Boquete area. Bocas Tel Toro is a funky fishing village and the trip from the mainland is a small adventure. David is [...]

Costa Rica Uncovered
We stayed in hotel San Jose Palacio and our operator was Panorama tours. First of all we were doing some sight seeing in San Jose and we visited the National Museum and the Metropolitan Cathedral, both very interesting. The next day we continued our trip to the working Vulcan Irazu. We went over the Ochomogo [...]
Ambergris Caye, Belize
Absolutely beautiful and really inexpensive. Never spent over $25 for dinner for 2. Some of the best food I’ve ever eaten. The primary language is English. Not as touristy as Cancun, very barefoot in the streets. All three streets. Day trips to Guatemala to ruins or there are ruins in Belize. Zip-lining and cave rafting [...]
Caye Caulker
I took my wife and daughter to Caye Caulker a couple of years ago and we absolutely loved it. The island is really laid back with no motorized vehicles except the John Deer tractor that supplies all the beer, “Belikin”, on the island. It is a small island accessible by water taxi for around 12 [...]
Costa Rica is wonderful
I traveled through Costa Rica for two months about 2 years ago and it was absolutely incredible!!! Beaches, tropical rainforests, waterfalls, wonderful friendly people. I woke up every morning to the sound of howler monkeys… volunteered for a few days at a nature reserve and got to hold and feed a three month old baby [...]
Guatemala
Just got back from a trip to Guatemala. Here are a couple tips… Tikal ruins are incredible, but stay over night in Tikal so you’re able to visit the park in the late afternoon and first thing the next morning (6am is best for monkey viewing). Otherwise, if you take a tour from Flores, visiting [...]
Dominical, Costa Rica
In 2005, my wife and I decided we needed to come to Costa Rica for a holiday to further explore the possibility of moving to the area of Dominical on Costa Rica’s Pacific Coast.
