Well my goodness, the last three days sure have been different. Wonderful each in their own ways. (Actually Sat, Sun & Monday. Wifi & WordPress sketchy. Today is Friday May 3rd :-) I will begin with what started great, then turned to shit, followed by great. That would be Saturday the 27th of April. We were [...]
From Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday April 8 -10, 2013 As long term travelers we are very good at being “on the move.” Indeed, it is normal for us now. Yet, it is the quiet moments, the still moments that I often appreciate the most. Like right now. I am sitting in the center of San [...]
After finishing two days of volunteering workshops at Centro de Espranza Oaxaca Grassroots Infantil that we were leading on geography and global citizenship with 8 – 16 year olds (Thank you Muskoka Foundation) I was ready to get some lead out today. And that is exactly what I did – even though the original plan [...]
In one week we will have been traveling for 11 months. Today was one of the best & worst days. Let me explain. It is not that today was so much different than other days, except that I didn’t have any particular place to go. I rode by myself, as Gaila and the OverlandingTheWorld.com crew (Jeff & [...]
Did I say I love my motorcycle? Lucille, my 2011 BMW F800GS is the perfect tool for this most wonderful trip. Today was proof of that. Gaila and I had the luxury of sleeping in a little bit (we did yesterday too:-) and that was nice after a very busy week with my son Elliot [...]

Many of you reading this are over the age of 27. Why is this important you ask, well of late Gaila and I have been trying hostels to save money. I think the average age is about 22 to 25 but who knows. Haven’t really asked, just observing. But safe to say I have definitely [...]
Today was a special day for Gaila and I. Talk about unexpected pleasures. Yes we were certainly looking forward to our hike with a guide in Nicaragua but we had no idea how special this little slice of heaven would be. We are part of a small group of travelers who ever make it to [...]
OK, as I sit and write this update I am listening to the sounds of dogs barking, donkey hee-hawing and some mariachi off in the distance. Oh and let’s not forget the church bells chiming. But I digress, as my real thoughts are: OMG we survived day two!! Not really sure where to start with [...]
OK, for all the family and friends that were worried – you can take at least one breath as we are fine. Getting into Mexico through the new border crossing just south of Mission TX was a good experience for Gaila and I. Not only did we not have to deal with lines, everyone was [...]
