Our Excellent Big Island Adventure – Part 2
It took almost five hours of driving yesterday but it was worth it. The Kilauea volcano was one of my must-see sites to visit and photograph for years and was probably the main reason for wanting to visit the Big Island here in Hawaii. We didn’t get home until about 10:30PM last night after the 127Km drive back from Volcanoes…

Our Excellent Big Island Adventure – Part 1
We’re about half way through our trip on the Big Island of Hawaii. Weather has been warm every day in the 30’s and of course very humid. Some days it’s really rained hard in the area around our condo but just 30 minutes drive away was sunshine. We’ve done two day trips to different parts of the island so far…

Barb and Baden’s Excellent Caribbean Adventure
It’s Friday the 15th of January and tomorrow Barb and I will be home from being away for about the last ten days. It’s unusual that I’m writing the first blog update at the end of a trip but in this case I had very limited Internet access for most of the trip and it was unavoidable. This update will…

Barb and Baden’s 2nd Spanish Adventure – Final
The Technology More so than on any other trip that we’ve made, the technology has played a more significant role than on most trips. Just the fact that I write this travel blog requires that I have some technology with me such as my laptop but this isn’t really the focus of this article. One of the main challenges for…

Barb and Baden’s 2nd Spanish Adventure – Part 3
A Day at the Beach As our time in our house rental is coming to a close, we had plans to make a day trip to the north coast for a change of scenery. We had so far been focusing on in-land destinations and since we were in the northern part of Spain it made sense to take the short…

We Have Sheep At the top of my Part 1 blog update I had included a photo of some sheep on the road. We’ve now seen the sheep many times and we’ve discovered that the farm next to us has the flock of sheep. Early yesterday morning Barb shouted out that there were sheep walking past our window and naturally…

Barb and Baden’s 2nd Spanish Adventure – Part 1
It’s hard to believe that it’s been 12 years since our last trip to Spain. Barb and I have so many good memories of that trip back in 2003 and it’s surprising that it’s taken us this long to plan our 2nd Spanish Adventure. Our itinerary will be taking us to regions of Spain that we have never been to…

Barb and Baden’s Excellent Greek Adventure – Final
I realize that this final posting of our Greek Adventure is several days late as Barb and I have been home for a few days. To wrap up this trip’s blog postings I’m just going to add some comments to the photos below. Hi-resolution of all of my favourites photos from our Greek Adventures can be found on my photo website here.…

Barb and Baden’s Excellent Greek Adventure – Part 3
This will be a bit of an unusual blog update. We’ve just finished our 7-day cruise through the Greek islands. Unfortunately, my laptop and iPad were stolen from the hotel in Athens literally minutes before we were transferring to the port to start our cruise so I’m pretty restricted in blogging and have no ability to post photos until we…

Barb and Baden’s Excellent Greek Adventure – Part 2
More Athens When you get to a new city you obviously want to sped some time looking at the highlights that it has to offer, trying to soak up the culture and vibe and to generally see what makes that city unique. From Barb’s and my experience, only spending two (full) days in a large city like Athens is pretty…
