Kenny took us diving in his Zodiac while Lyndon navigated for us on the surface. The best part (aside from the actual diving) was getting to be human sonar and hopping in on either side of the Zodiac with masks on holding onto a rope and looking down into the depths below hoping to see a good dive spot...
Read MoreEast Coast Family Vacation 2012
There was grand adventure, great food, better conversations, moments of suspense, awe, and intrigue. At no less than four distinct occurrences can I remember being afraid for my life; and although we set out on this grand voyage as a merry band of travellers, those of us who did made it back were changed by the journey and can only reflect upon the people we once were before the adventure as though pale faded memories of a forgotten time long past...

Read MoreHonduras: Roatan > La Ceiba > Trujillo
After a small photo rest stop, we drove down to a nature reserve, where we saw all manner of monkeys, anteaters, a wild cat, and even a tropical raccoon ( it turns out they look just like our raccoons ;) Then it was off to my moms amazing house on the side of a mountain. She had warned us of the 45 degree angle of the driveway. As it turns out, it REALLY is 45 degrees, and cannot be accessed without a 4 wheel drive vehicle...

Life is such an amazing thing. Completely insignificant when taken into perspective, yet it belongs to everyone and has such substantial meaning to each of us. Inconsequential though it may seem when looked at in the context of the universe, life has it's moments where our consciousness is elevated to a level that eclipses the scope of the universe...
Read MoreWestern United States Road Trip: Part 2 of 2
What a drive! All the way from Napa through the Redwoods (literally), by the ocean, into Oregon through Eugene and Portland before spending what remained of the night napping at a rest stop just outside of Seattle. It is a neat feeling waking up to a view of a city where previously there was only black...
