It is hard to believe it’s almost two weeks since we left Calgary. We arrived in the rain and the first night here felt cold as it was only 24C. I actually wrapped up in a blanket on the couch. It might have also had something to do with fatigue! Since them no more feelingContinue reading “Pedasi: Our first little while, November 2022”

Pedasi here we come again
We left our house in Calgary about 3:45 AM to get to the airport in plenty of time for our 6 AM flight (thank you Heather, much appreciated). It was so cold, at least -23C. Even though we were going to be in Panama City by evening, I decided to wear a warm jacket ‘justContinue reading “Pedasi here we come again”
More Roatan, and then I came home!
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”
