Yesterday morning we left Cusco and flew firstly to Lima, then straight to San Jose in Costa Rica. The flight to Lima was fine but the one to San Jose was not good, there was a lot of turbulence and the fact we were flying with Taca Airlines didn’t help! We picked up our luggage… Continue reading Hola Costa Rica

To the Boat!
Last night was our final night in Rio, so this morning we packed up our things and headed to the port to catch our cruise. Rio is a beautiful place to see and I really enjoyed the ten days we spent there – with the exception of having most of our important belongings stolen! Even… Continue reading To the Boat!
Let’s Go Yankees Let’s Go
We got up at 8am and watched the highlights of the Royal Wedding. Everyone has gone crazy for Prince William and Kate and apparently 2 billion people are tuning in to watch the event. We feel a bit home sick today because we know everyone at home is celebrating and the whole country will be… Continue reading Let’s Go Yankees Let’s Go
Driving in New York, ahhhh!
We got up this morning and got ready for zip lining, but then got a phone call to say it had been cancelled because thunder and lighting was on its way. We decided to get on the road since we were up so drove straight to New York City via Connecticut. As we got to… Continue reading Driving in New York, ahhhh!

Today we went… Continue reading Two Days Off
Kalamaku Luau
This evening we went to the Kalamaku Luau just up the road from Nawiliwili bay where we are docked. A luau is a big feast and party where they celebrate just about anything, it was a great night and about 800 people attended. They served traditional Hawaiian food such as lomi salmon, kalua pork, rice… Continue reading Kalamaku Luau
Pride of America Cruise Ship
We checked out of our hotel this morning and took a short taxi ride to Honolulu’s port to board our cruise ship; NCL’s Pride of America. The ship is pretty big (holds 2,146 passengers) but not quite as big as the one we went on for our honeymoon (NCL Jade). The ship wasn’t due to… Continue reading Pride of America Cruise Ship

It also has some historic caves that you can access via kayak tours. One of… Continue reading La Jolla Cove and Los Angeles
Red Rock Canyon
We decided to use the day to find some waterproof clothes for our rafting trip on Monday, so we drove around for most of the day and finally found somewhere called REI; a camping/outdoor store. As we were nearby we stopped off at Red Rock Canyon and took the scenic drive around as it was… Continue reading Red Rock Canyon
