After a week in South Dakota it was time to start heading toward home. We didn't use the bus at all last summer, and after all the work we did to get it cleaned and ready to go we've all been talking about some more (maybe

Custer State Park is an oldie, but a goodie. We can't come to South Dakota without spending at least a day here. Unfortunately it was an 1.5 hour drive from our campground, which made for a very long day. It has been a long time since Emma

I feel like in all our travels we've been pretty lucky with flights. But sometimes luck runs out. Our 1 PM direct flight from Puerto Rico to Florida kept getting delayed - 2 PM, 3 PM, 4 PM. Finally we were on our way at 5 PM after getting

We always feel like we're on vacation when we visit the BVI. We ate. We drank. We danced. We had a blast with some of our closest boat friends. But summer is coming and there are a lot of boat preparations that have to be done before we

We were in St. Thomas for Carnival two years ago. It is a wild time - colorful costumes, loud music and a lot of fun. We started on Thursday night with an evening of rides. Friday we spent the day at the kids parade, and followed it up Saturday with the

We planned to head from Boqueron, Puerto Rico straight to St. Thomas, USVI in one day. Of course a lot of times travel plans on the water don't stick. We ended up splitting our trip into three days with two quick overnight stops in Puerto Rico. Finally - St.

We've been to a bunch of places in Puerto Rico, but this was our first stop on the western coast. We rented a car for a couple days to get some much needed shopping done. While we were in Turks & Caicos the wind blew two shoes off

We celebrated Easter in the Dominican Republic with egg painting, an egg hunt, some great food and a visit from the Easter bunny. The marina in Samana definitely lives up to all the hype we've heard over the years. We had a great couple weeks enjoying happy hours,

Once we got back from the Airbnb in the mountains we all decided we could use a bit more time off the boat. We found an Airbnb overlooking the marina and decided to spend a couple days there. We played games, swam in the pool and rescued a baby gecko.
