We don't have anything scheduled right now. Everything as always depends on dogsitters and Stuart's work schedule! He'll be back in camp soon for the season! The list of places I'd like to go gets longer all the time...Nicaragua is high on the list for both of us....Bonaire, Belize, El Salvador, back to Costa Rica, Trinidad, Africa....Originally Posted by pomtzu
We're talking about a quick trip to Maui next winter; Stuart has a mining conference in Vancouver every January. It's an easy flight to Maui from there & I could induldge my sea turtle obsession!
I'm trying to convince my Dad that I wasn't kidding when I offered to pay his airfare to Austraila. My Uncle and his family immigrated there about a decade ago. Dad really wants to see his brother again, but my Mom won't travel that far anymore(she can't physically handle long flights) My Dad just turned 70 and is having some sort of "running out of somedays" crisis! He helped us start the drilling company. We paid back the loan in full, but Dad won't take any interest payment from us. I've offered to pay his airfare and go with him(he's never travelled internationally, except to the US). He does not think I'm serious! My Uncle says we should come in November so that might happen this year or next if I can convince Dad I'm not kidding & find a dogsitter!
May 2014 is our 15th wedding anniversary. We're planning a big trip for that...We're going to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands. There's no way I'm going that far for less than 3 weeks, preferably at least a month! I'm not sure Stuart's schedule will allow us to be gone in May so it might be before the actual anniversary date! If he can't get away for a longer trip, we'll go back to Costa Rica. There's still several places there I need to see and friends I'd like to visit in Tamarindo!
One of my nieces is graduating this summer and is having some difficulty figuring out what to do after high school. We've discussed her coming to live with me for awhile while taking some first year university classes at the local college. The offer is free room and board in return for critter/house sitting services. It is getting easier to find critter sitters as the numbers go down, but having Naomi up here would solve all those issues! She's a good kid who something of a dog whisperer!

I enjoyed all the pictures too! They were great to browse on facebook as well (hope that doesn't sound creepy)! I really like the snorkeling ones as well. Aside from pneumonia it sounds like a great trip...for some reason I thought it was difficult to travel to Cuba, maybe that is only an American thing?
