Tarzan and Jayn surfing on the flowrider.
Tarzan, finding that ‘Bodyboarding’ on the Flowrider was getting pretty easy, decided to try standing up on the small surfboard. Not as easy at it seems. All of the guests, mostly guys, had on wet suits, hum…..I guess that they must be surfer dudes! Continue reading
Tarzan and Jayn winners trophy.
During the transatlantic crossing the weather on deck can be a little, well windy!!!! So, what else is there to do? The casino is open from 9am till late whilst we are at sea, could this be what we are looking for? Continue reading
Seven days at sea, what to do????? The big Royal Caribbean cruise ships are pretty awesome and have all sorts of things to do. At the back of the ship on the outside top decks is the ‘Flowrider’, a simulated wave that you can surf and bodyboard on. Of course this is a challenge for Tarzan! To be honest I expected the initial ‘Wipeout’, but no! Tarzan held his own, he must have stayed on the bodyboard for 10 minutes and even managed to get up onto his knees and WOW the crowd. For his first attempt, everyone was pretty impressed. I think we will save the climbing wall for another occasion. Continue reading
Tarzan and Jayn on Liberty of the Seas, docked in Nassau, Bahamas.
We have started our return trip home to the UK, well its home when we are there!!! Our journey back is on The ‘Libery of the Seas’ Cruiseship, a transatlantic crossing of fourteen nights. We have done these type of crossing before and they are by far the best way to travel across the atlantic without getting jetlag, if you can afford the time. Continue reading
Tarzan and Jayn with the baby squirrel.
After spending a great vacation in Jaco Beach, Costa Rica at the Copacabana Resort we decided to spend our last few days in their sister property, the Hotel Desire Resort in San Jose. We were sunbathing at the nude pool when suddenly, there was some commotion near the hotel. A baby squirrel had fallen off the roof of the hotel, and to make matters worse it had fallen on concrete. One of the female members of staff decided to try to nurse the baby squirrel and see if it would survive. Continue reading

So, Tarzan and I have been traveling around Central American for about six months, taking in Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Panama. We are currently in Costa Rica and having a great time. This is by far the best negative edge swimming pool that we have had the pleasure to enjoy. What a view! Continue reading

We’re in Costa Rica at the ‘Lifestyle’ Resort on the beach – it’s the Copacabana Desire Hotel in Jaco Beach Costa Rica … and having lots of fun – check out our picture at the Nude Pool on the premises!
Its hot and sunny, great for the all-over-tan! Only one week left on our six month trip before we fly to Miami, where we over night, before catching a two week transatlantic cruise to Europe.

There is five different ports on this trip (seven if you include the start and finish ports too), but we will put them in our timeline. Once we get home, we’ll have a week with family and friends before Tarzan gets off to Thailand, without me, to ‘find himself’!!!!!!!! Continue reading
