Our plan was to spend two months in Roatan, but plans don’t always work out. We have this wonderful travel insurance that lasts for three months. You come home and the travel insurance ‘resets’, then away you go for another three months. This year we decided not to come home due to the hassle withContinue reading “More Roatan, and then I came home!”

Snorkelling in Half Moon Bay March 2022
The little town of West End, Roatan, Honduras has incredible snorkelling in Half Moon Bay. It has become our ‘almost daily’ form of exercise. Well, for me it is. Daryl does the diving thing and then will go snorkelling with me. Daryl loves diving here. I like the fact that he can go do twoContinue reading “Snorkelling in Half Moon Bay March 2022”
West End, Roatan
After three months in Pedasi, with the temperature around 30C-31C every day, lots of sunshine and not a drop of rain, we arrived on Roatan to cool temperatures (25C), cloud and rain. How sad is it to say, I was ‘freezing’ for the first couple of days we were here. We have stayed up thisContinue reading “West End, Roatan”
Booking with Expedia.ca
Update: All money has now been reimbursed. Last fall when we were planning our retirement winter get away, we decided to do things a little differently. Normally we would go away for three months, come home for a bit and then go for another three months. This worked well for a couple of reasons: ourContinue reading “Booking with Expedia.ca”
Tree trimming in Pedasi!
This house had two gigantic trees; a bunch of bamboo in the backyard yard and an olive tree on the side of the house. Early on in our stay, we had ‘a guy’ remove the noisy branch from behind the bohio. Back then, early in December, everything was green and the bamboo tree full andContinue reading “Tree trimming in Pedasi!”
Let’s take a road trip to Torio
One Sunday we went out for lunch, and eight hours later we arrived back home. Normally, I am the world’s worst passenger when driving, but not this time. The scenery was spectacular. Our destination was the little town of Torio. Driving over a mountain range everything was brown, the scenery very similar to driving inContinue reading “Let’s take a road trip to Torio”
PEDASI, PANAMA
Pedasi is a small town in Los Santos province, Panama. When you look online you can find numbers that say the population of Pedasi ranges anywhere from 2500 – 4000. Whatever its actual size it has a lot to offer when you want to get away from a cold Canadian winter. In distance, it isContinue reading “PEDASI, PANAMA”
Loving Everything Beach
It’s hard to believe we have been in Pedasi for two months already!! When we left home we knew it would be a quiet winter with less “out and about”, and it has been. I am thankful that we are able to be away from the cold, snow and ice. From the beginning our mainContinue reading “Loving Everything Beach”
Beach Walking At Dusk
Yesterday I went to yoga at 0715 hr., it was a little cloudy with a temperature of 27C, and I thought it felt a little cool. After arriving home a couple of hours later, I was listening to Calgary news, the announcer said it was -27C with the windchill. That is a 54C degree difference!!Continue reading “Beach Walking At Dusk”
Birders Paradise, Pedasi Panama, Dec 14, 2021
Birding in and around Pedasi is paradise for those interested, but you need two thing that I don’t have, patience and a good camera. Every day as I sit outside in the bohio, I hear all kinds of bird sounds and see flashes of bright blue or yellow or red as a bird goes zippingContinue reading “Birders Paradise, Pedasi Panama, Dec 14, 2021”
