Iceland – Days 5 & 6, Return to ReykjavÃk, The End
IF YOU WANT TO VIEW MY VIDEO OF ICELAND, SCROLL TO THE END. The morning dew settled around our campsite and the summer sun was shrouded by overcast. We woke up a little later than our camping neighbors for most of those around us were already gone or packing their gear. As soon as we…

Iceland – Day 4, Snæfellsnes Peninsula
We woke up late, only to hustle with showers and packing before the host of the guesthouse was politely ushering us out the door by 11:05am. As soon as I felt the crisp air and saw the forecast for sunny weather, I was determined to make the most out of our first day on the…

Iceland – Day 3, Cross Country
The following morning we woke up around 6:30, a little disgruntled and for me at least not very well rested. We shuffled around in the back of the SUV, layering up with warmer clothes then quickly brushing our teeth outside of the vehicle. After pulling ourselves together we rushed out of the parking lot, overly…

Iceland – Day 2, With Letters!
In my last post I used a few Icelandic letters that I forgot to explain. To the very best of my ability I wanted to clarify a few common pronunciations (since I know all of you are going to do your very best in pronouncing the names of these magnificent waterfalls and quaint towns.) Forewarning,…

Great Exuma, Part IV – Fin
Here is the last chapter to my Bahamian adventure, and what a busy day it was. I woke up early, had breakfast, then immediately drove myself to Dive Exuma in George Town to catch my dive boat at 9:30. As I arrived I filled out my paperwork with my dive history information, threw my gear…

Great Exuma, Part III
On day three my family slept in for a bit after soaking in the long boat day the day before. We had groceries bought for the villa so my mom made us all a big egg and bacon breakfast. Shortly after breakfast we rode into Georgetown, the main town of Great Exuma, to take a…

Great Exuma, Part II
On day two of five, my dad had chartered a boat for my family and I through Triple A Adventures to ride around a string of the Exuma islands. We saw the homes of Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, David Copperfield’s, and a handful of other celebrity homes atop of multimillion dollar islands. Continuing on,…

Great Exuma, Part I
For the first time in I don’t know how many years, my whole immediate family got to spend a vacation together. Our destination? Great Exuma, Bahamas. We arrived around noon on June 23rd on the lesser populated island (compared to Nassau) and immediately ran into problems. I had a drone! After immigration and into customs,…
