Home is where we lay our hats
Desert Dreams Our Desert dreams led to trips down lonely highways with awesome scenery. Fancies created by names on the map or signs on a post, can definitely lead us to the Bizarre. Accommodation Drury Inn We stayed in Drury Inn in Las Cruces. It was a clean hotel with a 1950’s vibe…
Texas – Big country with a big heart Texas is like a country in its own right. It’s massive and you can see why the people are proud of it. Houston, Texas We were in Houston several years before, albeit transiting through the airport, so obviously we saw nothing. This time it would be a…
The Music Belt – Rock and Roll Blues Down south the Music Belt is biblical! The sound of Blues, gospel, Rock and Roll, and country oozes, shakes, and rattles through the hot humid air. We have some favourites and just had to hear more. For this section of our USA road trip, we immersed ourselves…
USA road trip – heading north through Florida After visiting south Florida, it was now time to get our USA road trip into full swing. We headed north towards Jacksonville and made a few stops on the way. Palm beach The sublime Palm beach wasn’t as expected. What did we expect? Well we thought it…

We chose Barvaro due to the great reviews about the playa. The place we decided on was fairly close to the beach, local amenities,…
Dominican Republic – An airport mishap and Bayahibe The trip to Bayahibe in the Dominican Republic would be a long one but we had no idea it would turn out how it did as we set off. It’s funny as Dominican Republic wasn’t even on our original itinerary, but because of the no testing and…
Puerto Viejo – Caribbean Rastafarian Vibe Located on the caribbean coast of Costa Rica, Puerto Viejo is where we would spend our last week in the country. It is a place with a more reggae feel and somewhere we could chill and explore at a leisurely pace. The previous week, in the Nicoya Peninsula,…
