After a long day of travel on Monday and a 45 minute ride from the airport, we arrived to our hotel in Reykjavik. We were starving and couldn’t wait to check-in and grab something to eat. Our hotel, Apotek Hotel, is in the most popular location in Reykjavik. We dropped our bags and headed off…
Edinburgh Castle & Scottish National Portrait Gallery
Saturday we spent the morning touring Edinburgh Castle. It was a Saturday which meant it was crazy crowded, which didn’t make for an enjoyable time. Honestly speaking it was a little underwhelming. We strolled around the castle grounds for about 2 hours until we met up with Briana’s parents. They were setting up for King…
Scotland – Inverness, Stirling, & Edinburgh
Tuesday we left the Isle of Harris on our way to the Stornoway Ferry Terminal however we decided to check one last item that was on our list, The Calanais Standing Stones. From above, one can see that these stones were set in a cross-shaped formation and erected some 5,000 years ago. They even predate…
Scotland – Isle of Harris
Sunday was a travel day for us as we ventured out, via a 1 hour 40 minute ferry ride, to the Isle of Harris. Harris is known for sandy beaches like Luskentyre and Scarista on the west coast and for the famous Harris Tweed. We departed Portree and made our way to see if we…

Goodbye Belize

Sharks and Rays
January 1st – We woke up yet again extra early to catch our ride out to Hol Chan Marine Reserve for another snorkeling excursion with Tuff E Nuff Tours. This time however we didn’t have a private tour and were joined on the boat by approximately 15 others. Once at Hol Chan Marine Reserve we…
Island Time
December 30th – Briana and I woke up and took a brisk walk up the beach before heading into town for some souvenir shopping. While on our walk we came upon what seemed to be an abandoned resort. What seemed odd is it appeared that some of the villa’s looked lived in or occupied. After…
Secret Beach
Last night we had reservations for dinner in San Pedro at Blue Water Grill. The restaurant is open air and right on the water. Inside is a huge sign on the wall that reads “I LOVE BELIZE.” The food and drink were fantastic, everything from the conch fritters to my entree, grilled grouper with a…
2 days by the pool
December 27th – I had every intention to wake up and witness my first sunrise here in Belize. That did not happen, instead I was welcomed with the beautiful sun shining through the palm tree saying “Good Morning”. Being that it was our first day here in Ambergris Caye we decided to lay low and…
