Well, I wanted a challenge right? An uncomfortable growth opportunity. We’ve only been in Bali for 2 weeks now and have accomplished a fair bit. We got over jet lag, found a house, moved in, rented ourselves a scooter, hired a cook and have already experienced the town’s peacefulness and chaos. The first few days […]
We moved to Bali without a place to live. Usually when you move, you know where you are going. Prior to packing up your stuff, you know where it’s going to be unpacked. Not so for us this time. The past two times that we’ve moved internationally, we have rented our homes site unseen from […]
Is it possible to chase the setting sun? I wonder what the numbers would say…can a plane flying at 38,000 feet westward stall a sunset? The wild fire that I observed out of my window was definitely extended. Our Asia experience started upon entering the LAX International terminal. The sea of black hair engulfed us […]
I just sold G’s crib. My first baby’s sleeping place. The crib that I spent hours researching, finding the best available product that fit in with the style of our home. It was a contemporary, clean lined style. Solid mahogany wood with a deep stain and no visible hardware. It was beautiful to the eyes. […]
Normally, when a taxi pulled up to our condo building we were either welcoming new friends or saying goodbye to them. This time was different. The taxi was for us and we were leaving Belize. A bittersweet moment as we looked forward to our next adventure, but still wanted to keep this one for a […]
We’re leaving Belize. We’d like to stay a little longer, but the timing is working out this way. As much as I’ve given San Pedro a hard time, we’ve enjoyed it a thousand fold times more. We love it here and knowing that we will be leaving in one, short little week we’re feeling a […]
It’s 2012 and we are looking forward to another adventurous year, but we thought we would take a minute and look back at 2011. This helps us remember, but also lets us share with you another year of our life that has become our “norm”. We are starting to get used to this life of […]
Thirty years ago I was an immigrant in a foreign country, the US. Two years ago I was an immigrant in Costa Rica and this year I am an immigrant in Belize. You’d think I’d have this ‘moving to a different country’ gig down by now, but the realities of moving abroad are the same […]
It is a well known fact that all of us have… too much stuff. In fact, we own so much stuff, there are multi-billion dollar industries created to organize and store all our stuff. We have so much stuff it won’t fit into our 3,000 sq ft houses and we have to store it off-site in […]
I don’t think it’s actually hit me yet that I live by one of the most beautiful oceans I have ever seen. I’m here – washing dishes, playing with my children and working – as if nothing has changed. I’m out near my pool right now beside the Caribbean Ocean writing this post. The warm […]
To fly from Costa Rica to Belize, we had two choices. The first was an economy fare that entailed a 23 hour journey. The second was executive class, which took 3 1/2 hours. The price for first class was actually less than the economy, so it made the decision a no-brainer. I booked all four […]
Costa Rica is not a country of quality. The things that you buy here will likely break within a few months. The construction, finishing touches and detail work is low quality at best. So, for our last 2 nights in Costa Rica we decided to treat ourselves to a nice hotel – beautiful furnishings, great […]
