Prepping for Peru!
We are heading south of the equator!!! I am getting to the “can’t sleep I’m too excited” phase of our pre-trip planning. Our group is 7 strong, 3 moms, 3 kids and Sam! The kids range in age from 13-18 and we adults are of average fitness, who are also desk jockeys by day! We have been training for the physical requirements of the hike, but we are by no means in tip-top form! We are getting more excited and nervous each day! We have our backpacks, our platypus hydration bags, our waist bags and hiking boots ready to go! Packing! Oh the packing! The days will be about 20…

The room had a kitchenette which allowed us to prepare our own breakfast and lunches (we did eat out many times to enjoy the local food). The room also included a great private dining table on our “porch” of our room. Additionally, the…

Me… a Mermaid!?!
Going Diving for the first time was one of the coolest experiences I have had. I have done lots of snorkelling and I will say, it is NOT the same! Going 35 feet underwater and seeing the abundant life that is below made me like a real mermaid! I will reference that feeling as I am unsure how else to explain how I felt when I was able to breathe under the water for 53 minutes! My adventure began by talking with a couple of dive shops and choosing one. Truly, I went with a local shop (www.coconuttreedivers.com ) that I had read about online, and one that my “guts”…
