Retrotrip (rĕt’rō-trĭp): Caneel Bay, BVI- Day 9
http://retrotrip.blogspot.com/2010/04/caneel-bay-day-9.html
8220;One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.” Henry Miller. Thursday, April 29, 2010. Caneel Bay, BVI- Day 9. No urgency for coffee, we proceeded to close up the hatches. After confirmation that we're ready to sail Alex grabbed hold of the bow line. A few minutes earlier, we noticed our neighbor take off without paying the mooring fee. We'd thought we'd attempt the same :) After all, we were in pirate territory! The shoreline is stunning! Ruins remain standing there today and ...

8220;One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.” Henry Miller. Sunday, August 7, 2011. Day 3- Into the Groove. It didn't take long for us to settle into the slow pace of life in Nerja. Nothing opens before noon and so we don't miss mush except the sunrise by sleeping in. After saying hello to all the regulars at the beach, we settle back into the next chapters of Kon-Tiki. Just after Old Major calls a meeting with all the farm animals, it's time for lunch! Melon y jamon de serrano.

8220;One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.” Henry Miller. Sunday, October 31, 2010. Our first dive was at West End Wall. It was a small group, just Alex and I, our Instructor Joe and another Aussie named Mark. We told Joe about our adventures in Indonesia and Vietnam, so he knew he had a lot to live up to! Roatan exceeded our expectations by far! Which can grow up to 8 feet tall, Azure Vase sponges. Also known as the redwood of the deep), dog snapper. And much much more!

8220;One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.” Henry Miller. Wednesday, April 30, 2008. Vietnam - Good Morning, Vietnam! Vietnam is a country who has preserved it's culture. Hanoi. Is full of charm and is not dependent on tourism as much as other places that we've visited. It is home to 3.5 million people and I think that they all must own a motorbike! There is one intersection where 5 streets come together at once and there is not a single traffic light! It was absolutely beau...

8220;One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.” Henry Miller. Wednesday, August 13, 2008. Last stop, Bangkok Thailand. We set aside 3 days and 2 nights to stop in and visit Johnny one last time. He picked us up from the airport just like before and we took the 30 minute taxi ride to "Soi Bat, Rama Son.". Everything was strangely familiar. The old woman sat in her chair near the coy pond,. They answered in unison, "Good Morning Teacher John." We were then introduced as Crazy ...

http://retrotrip.blogspot.com/2009/09/monkey-point-marina-cay-day-6.html
8220;One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.” Henry Miller. Thursday, July 30, 2009. Monkey Point and Marina Cay- Day 6. An early start was welcomed today since we had a long journey and wanted to make a stop along the way to snorkel. We quickly enjoyed our coffee but had no breakfast foods on board since we gave our fresh fruits away as a thank you gift to Debbie and Rick. We contemplated heading back south instead but Alex left it up to me. He's so great about making sur...

8220;One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.” Henry Miller. Thursday, July 31, 2008. Diving in Komodo National Park! Komodo is notorious for some of the best diving. We had so much fun diving and can't wait to go back for more! In and around Komodo National Park. We spent a few days getting rid of our sea legs and talking to all of the dive shops on the island. We ran into the lost divers. This was the exact site. Where the divers went missing! One of the girls on our boat tur...

8220;One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.” Henry Miller. Tuesday, June 24, 2008. Taking Care of Business, Saigon. Back in Saigon, we decided that we had a few things to take care of before we left for Indonesia. I needed a new pair of glasses (I lost my pair in Ha Long Bay), I wanted to get my teeth cleaned and Alex wanted to buy some paintings. We found an optometrist who completed an exam, frames and lenses for $12US.I'll take it! I could stay here forever! Later on durin...

8220;One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.” Henry Miller. Sunday, October 17, 2010. Roatán, Honduras- the backdrop of our latest adventure! A majestic ship that frequented Roatan. I recall stories of the crew who lived aboard her. They would sing, dance and entertain the guests and my parents always thought very fondly of them. Over the memorable days and nights that Mom and Doug were passengers, they became great friends with the lovable crew. In port, locals urged the capt...
