Winter 2023 Vacation
Hello All: Many of you know that Bill and I were supposed to go to Costa Rica for our winter vacation. A couple days before we were supposed to leave, my grandpa got sick and had to be hospitalized. There were no beds in the area, so he had to be moved to St. Louis …

On Friday 6/29/22 Emily and I traveled the short distance from my house to the New $100 million Lost Island Theme Park! If you say amusement park around some you will be corrected, as this park has a theme not just amusements. I have only been to one other theme park, Adventureland also here in …

The Black Hawk Creek
One of the things we enjoy locally in the Cedar Valley is traveling down the Black Hawk Creek. Last Saturday Emily, my friend Kevin and I took our maiden voyage for the summer. The Black Hawk Creek runs through both Waterloo and Cedar Falls among other places, so it is easy to access. This is …

Returning to the United States
It rained during the night fairly significantly and the morning started out looking fantastic. It was a shame that we were leaving as it would have been a good day to get out on the water. Riding in the water taxi the seas were mostly smooth. I had sat all the way to the front …
Rainy Last Day
I was hoping to have an exciting post for our last day, but no luck. It has rained all day long. It’s good that we didn’t come a week later because it’s supposed to rain all this week too and probably for the next few months. I’ve been in Costa Rica at the beginning of …
And she sings
We’ve come to the end of our time here in Caye Caulker, Belize. Final assessment, four days in the mainland was spot on. Had a good time and got to see a bit of Belize. Ten days on Caye Caulker, that’s hard to say. In general it’s probably too many days. There’s not a lot …
