Recently started looking at the photos from our visit to the San Diego Zoo. What a fun visit. We only spent a few hours there but saw lots of animals. Going right as they opened helped us avoid the lines and allowed us to see the animals while they were being fed. I highly recommend […]
On the last day in Puerto Jimenez, we took the boat launch across the Golfo Dulce to Golfito. To get across the gulf, a ticket costs $4 each way, or 2,000 Colones. The first launch leaves at 6:00 a.m. Guess which one we took? Yep, we were on that first boat and saw the sun rise […]
Puerto Jimenez is charming town on the Osa Peninsula with stunning views of the Golfo Dulce. The area is filled with wildlife and wonderful fishing. Steve and I were lucky enough to stay with our brother-in-law and his friend. They were wonderful hosts and know all the best local spots. We spent our first day […]
Traveling from San Jose to Puerto Jimenez shows you the beautiful country of Costa Rica.
On February 4, 2018, Costa Rica would elect a new President. The staff at National rental car told us it was Election Day in Costa Rica, and we would see a lot of people out going to the polls and might see protests. How exciting to see the democratic process in another country! The polls are […]
It’s that time. Time to run and make Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Hall of Fame. Steve and I came in on Saturday to run Sunday. We stayed near the start and finish lines at the Hyatt Regency. The hotel was large and located on the Riverwalk, which was crowded. The location was convenient though allowing […]
Las Vegas. We’ve been looking forward to this once-in-a-lifetime experience, running The Strip at night. We stayed at the Bellagio. The flowers didn’t disappoint. Look at this peacock! Amazing. Since we came in on Friday and the 5K didn’t start until Saturday evening, we had time to get packets and run it. Fortunately, we arrived […]
The Savannah Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon was different from any other we have done or will do this year. The run was on Saturday, not Sunday. We had to drive down on Friday and be prepared to run on Saturday. We decided to stay at the Andaz. The hotel was conveniently located. We were […]
It was a quick trip to L.A. We landed, checked into the hotel and headed straight to packet pickup. Unfortunately, there was no time for sightseeing, but I did manage to capture photos of the Lakers statues outside the Staples Center. We stayed at the Courtyard Marriott near the start/finish lines, and this trip […]
We were able to drive to St. Louis for last weekend’s run. We brought the pups and stayed at the Union Station Hotel. While the hotel is beautiful and historic, I found the staff not very helpful or engaging. As usual, once we checked into the hotel and got the dogs settled, we headed to […]
