From the City to the Jungle After our first night in Ladyville near the airport, it was time to meet up with our hosts from Lucky Dreamer Lodge. Jeff drove in from Cristo Rey to pick us up at our Airbnb. The first stop was a grocery store in Belize City for some sour cream. If you are looking for name-brand foods, sometimes you can only get them in the large markets. So today, since he was running into town to pick Lilli and me up, it made...
Getting to Belize It has been just over 5 years since the last time I was in Belize exploring Cay Caulker with my sister and parents. I remember the excitement of arriving in a new country and heading out to an island. Belize is known for its coastlines, beaches, and beautiful islands. While visiting last time we did take a trip back to the mainland to do some excursions such as Cave Tubing, Ziplining, and visiting a Mayan Ruin Site. While I...
Let me tell you a little about Melbs (Melbourne). Being the shameless nerd with exquisite taste that I am, the European-style architecture made my hour-long tram trips from Burwood into the city interesting. Some need tunes or Candy Crush to pass the time, but I’m perfectly content with seeing Federation-style houses outside my window, thank you very much. It doesn’t take much to entertain a simpleton like me. Most machines don’t sense...
You know you live in Melbourne when it’s common to make a casual weekend trip to Tasmania. And that’s exactly what we did! Four Americans and one Canadian set off on an adventure. Five of us packed into a tiny Toyota rental (rather reminiscent of a clown car at a circus) with endless people pouring out of it at every stop. Naturally, the first thing we did with our rental car was drive onto a ferry, to check out Bruny Island. It's known for...
Imagine an eerie but incredible parallel universe like something out of a Christopher Nolan film. That’s what Australia is like compared to the U.S. Everything is exactly the opposite. The lights switches flip the opposite way for on/off, cars drive on the opposite side of the road, and the driver’s side is on the right (wrong) side of the car. The seasons are opposite, Celsius and the metric system are used, the toilet flushes differently,...
One fateful February, after a mere fourteen hours on a plane, coupled with a Melatonin appetizer and two in-flight meals that were presumably baked pigeon, I found myself on the other side of the world. Like Marty McFly, I basically time-traveled, losing a full twenty-four hours when we crossed the international dateline. On my flight, I chatted with two brothers near my age, who helped pass the time. Then, two days after arriving in Auckland,...
