Home is where we lay our hats
Yellowstone, a focal point. Yellowstone National park, and it’s famous geysers, was the centre piece for this leg of the road trip. First we had to get there and then navigate our way further east. Stop off – Lovelock Lovelock is a small town, with approximately 2,450 residents in Nevada. It had a nice…

Sequoia National Park Sequoia National Park, in California, is a very special place. The park covers 1,193,315 acres (1,864.555 sq mi; 4,829.17 km2). It takes…
Desert Dreams Our Desert dreams led to trips down lonely highways with awesome scenery. Fancies created by names on the map or signs on a post, can definitely lead us to the Bizarre. Accommodation Drury Inn We stayed in Drury Inn in Las Cruces. It was a clean hotel with a 1950’s vibe…
Texas – Big country with a big heart Texas is like a country in its own right. It’s massive and you can see why the people are proud of it. Houston, Texas We were in Houston several years before, albeit transiting through the airport, so obviously we saw nothing. This time it would be a…

This is a very rural and underdeveloped area. Indeed, the Dominican Republic is surprisingly big, for those thinking that the Caribbean is all small…
Bavaro – Los Corales in Punta Cana Bavaro is one of the beaches in the Punta Cana area of Dominican Republic. Punta Cana, itself, really being the village around the airport.
