Victoria British Columbia Inner Harbour Sunset - Spectacular - YouTube



The Sunset in Victoria Inner Harbour was beautiful!! After, I wandered in among the incredible Totems wishing all I could here was the sounds of birds and animals rather than traffic and city noise.

Earth Day 2012 - United States



What better day to explore . . .

Earth Day is perfect for checking out some of the unique features of the USA. We traveled around the US for nearly 6 weeks and more than 10,000 miles an found an amazingly diverse and beautiful country.

Sadly as is much of our Earth, the USA is also facing huge challenges as the environment takes a back seat to momentary monetary opportunities. The environment is the most valuable asset we have so preserving it is a no brainier.

Earth Day 2012

Dear Earth,

We had a great day celebrating you but to be honest I don't just want a one day stand. I would like us to come together and form a long lasting relationship where we love one another, appreciate what we have and form a bond that transcends time.
I know it won't be easy. You are beautiful with a lot of treasure that unscrupulous suitors will try to take. They will abuse you at every opportunity; treat you with no respect as their personal playground. Others are willing to rape you for their own shortsighted gains, but as long as I can, I will stand by you, fight for you, because together the future is better for both you dear earth, and me.

Your humble guest.


It should be Earth Year.
Our world is too unique and precious to just celebrate it one day out of a year.  If you look around and see all the beauty then it's easy to understand why we all have to work together to save Mother Earth and make it better then previous generations.

All forms and manner of pollutants in the sea, on the land and in our air is threatening animals, nature and us humans.

Our earth is unique
As far as we know there is no life on any other planet close to Earth. That makes the biodiversity and beauty of life on our Earth all the more important.

Dominican Republic off the beaten path - YouTube




We were staying in Bayahibe, Dominican Republic when locals there kept telling us about the beauty of Samana. It was their secret ~ pristine and untouched by tourism. They were so right! It IS beautiful & definitely a favorite to us.

If you like to get away from it all in a tropical setting that won't break the bank, check out Samana Dominican Republic.

BEST Job in the World!! - YouTube



We have the Best Job in The World thanks to Google AdSense and YouTube, traveling and experiencing life.

Although it would be easy to become jaded and only focus on the beauty we find which many do, I will always strive to present alternative realities. One example of this is talking about the environment, global warming, reefs dying and habitat loss. We all have a responsibility and we feel most fortunate to be able to live our dream but that doesn't mean we lose sight of everything else.

Thank you for watching.

laid back beach in Mexico - YouTube



I love the beach, and Mexico has some amazing ones especially along the Yucatan and the Riviera Maya.

Grand Palladium Riviera Maya Beach - YouTube



 The beach at the Grand Palladium Resort in the Riviera Maya and a quick HD look at the snorkeling, right off the beach. With all the birds diving, there are fish to see though not as good as it was in 2007.

 There was a large school of sardines hanging around the shallow warm water.

 Fairly soft sand is good for wading in but the fine sand stirs up easy so visibility is somewhat hampered.

Grand Palladium Resort and Spa - Riviera Maya Mexico - YouTube




From the spa and gym, to the pools and beach, including the beach BBQ the Grand Palladium Riviera Maya is a beautiful resort.  We enjoyed it but found the White Sands section a little removed and the shuttle was unreliable.
