We booked a dive trip with veterinary friends to swim with orcas. We got to do dog sledding and see reindeer as well. Some of us did some pre and post travel to Iceland and other countries.
A weekend in Downtown Austin for some rest, relaxation, and of course, live music!
Silverback gorilla trekking in Uganda has always been high on my bucket list. Although high, it was one that felt far, far away. That was until I looked into it and learned there are fewer than 1,100 mountain gorillas left in the world. They are spread across three African countries: Uganda, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Gorilla trekking offers a glimpse into the world of this endangered species and a chance to contribute to their conservation. Tourism plays a crucial role in funding the protection of their habitat and the ongoing efforts to ensure their survival for generations to come.
Why Uganda? My research led me to decide between Rwanda and Uganda. Of the two, Rwanda is the more popular country for trekking. They have invested more in tourism infrastructure, making it relatively easy for travelers to access the park, obtain permits, and engage in gorilla trekking. As a result, it is also the most crowded place to trek.
The pros for Uganda were that it’s home to about half of the remaining mountain gorillas. This makes the rainforest we trekked a critical sanctuary for the survival of these majestic creatures. It draws fewer people and is a little less expensive. For these reasons, we chose Uganda. (During this trip, I traveled with my sister and her boyfriend. It is a perfect experience to make unforgettable memories with friends and family.)
Nestled in southwestern Uganda is the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. This rainforest’s name reflects its thick vegetation and challenging terrain, making it difficult for humans to access and explore. That’s where your expert guides come into play.
We traveled to Tanzania as a bucket list trip. We immersed ourself in the land, the wildlife and the culture with opportunities to visit with the Maasai people and other incredible experiences. Through the 10 days, we visited Arusha, Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and Spent 6 days exploring the Serengeti.

It’s been 3 years since we did this Father/Son ski trip and we haven’t ventured to Steamboat. I’m glad we did - we got pounded with snow! The group was 6 Dads and 6 seventeen year old boys.
The Maldives is famous for its breathtaking white-sand beaches and mesmerizing underwater world. But did you know there are two very different ways to experience this tropical paradise?
You can either stay on a local island for an affordable, culture-rich experience or indulge in the luxury of a private island resort.
We wanted to experience both! Economically, the local island stay is much cheaper, offering charming boutique hotels, cozy cafés, and authentic restaurants—but no alcohol. While modest dress codes apply, designated bikini beaches let visitors swim and sunbathe freely.
But of course, you can’t leave the Maldives without trying the iconic overwater villa experience! We made it extra special by choosing one with a slide for our daughter, and it was absolutely worth it. Staying at a private island resort meant no restrictions—we could wear whatever we liked and enjoy a cocktail while watching the sunset over the endless ocean.
No matter the choice, the Maldives was one of an unforgettable escapes we ever did. 🌴✨
We had been to Exuma before for a shorter 4 night trip, and we knew we HAD to get back and stay longer. We love to visit Exuma for the beautiful blue waters and all the interactions with the wildlife, including sharks, iguanas, pigs, cats, stingrays and more!
