Of all the excursions in Torres del Paine, don't miss out on the Grey Glacier! We celebrated with Pisco Sours complete with 10,000 year old glacial ice before taking the easy trip back to the lakeshore. With the winds at our backs, the journey was calm and we could enjoy the scenery out on deck. Even with the rains and wind during our trip, our …

The West Africa cruise on the 45 passage Pegasus with just 29 on board was one of the best cruises I have ever completed.

The people and sites of Senegal and The Gambia are …

We were on board the holiday 2011 sailing of L'Austral with stops on the Falkland Islands, South Georgia Island, Antarctica, the South Shetland Islands and Cape Horn.

2011 ended with a big finish! We explored a land we never imagined we'd visit, yet found to be amazing at every turn. Nicaragua is a land of many contrasts: colonial cities, active volcanoes, and cloud forest canopies. We visited La Isla de Ometepe, our very own \"Christmas Island\" and ended the year on the Pacific beaches surrounding …

Our honeymoon cruise started in Istanbul, where we spent a few days before boarding our ship, the Wind Surf.

We had blue skies and warm temperatures all the way to our final destination of Athens!

Swimming with pink dolphins, climbing trees, and cruising the Rio Negro in Amazonia.

As a busy mother of 4, I seldom have time to take a step back and focus my attention on anything. We went ziplining, horseback riding, discovered local markets and enjoyed some wonderful food. This 11 day trip with my mom and oldest kids was a gift of shared time and memories we will never forget.

So in July of 2006 we started our year long adventure. After spending a couple of days in an Internet Cafe in Rio de Janerio, Brazil, and a flurry of emails back and forth to Jonathan of Adventure Life, we have booked our Antarctica Cruise.

I’ve spent years pouring through my share of Outside Magazines and National Geographics; watched hours of Discovery Channel Programs and marveled at the beauty of nature; heard the tales of many of my well-travelled friends as they detailed their harrowing and exciting adventures. But with all of this, at 30 years old, I had never been outside …

We …

Departing from Svalbard our Russian ship carried us north to within 600 miles of the North Pole before working its way southward to Greenland and our final destination in Iceland. Our spectacular Arctic cruise was bracketed by visits to old friends in both Norway and Iceland.

Nicaragua dispelled all myths. It is gorgeous, affordable and very safe. Tourism is a relatively new phenomenon, so you pretty much get the country to yourself. Ometepe Island is perhaps my favorite place on earth. Try to spend as much time as you can there!
