Sightseeing & Activities
Where in the World Can You Hold a Sloth? (Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Honduras)
March 14, 2014 | JWadmin 4
We arranged this port excursion outside of Carnival Conquest – Caribbean Cruise. It was very affordable to enjoy the day in Roatan from the scenic drive West and East through villages to visiting the wildlife sanctuaries and getting up close and personal… in this case… a Sloth. We didn’t know what to expect from visits to these wildlife sanctuaries and so we were very delighted to see and hold a Sloth… although, I don’t know if it’s a guaranteed experience by the tour vendor. This particular sloth was more social and had a good temperament for visitors. We were told usually they’re up in the trees so it was a great treat! Read More
Visiting Arch’s Iguana Park (Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Honduras)
March 14, 2014 | JWadmin 2We arranged this port excursion outside of Carnival Conquest – Caribbean Cruise. It was very affordable to enjoy the day in Roatan from the scenic drive West and East through villages to visiting the wildlife sanctuaries and getting up close and personal… in this case… Iguanas… which remind me of a legendary, mythical dragon.

Jet Ski Stingray City Tour (Grand Cayman Islands)
March 11, 2014 | JWadmin 2We arranged this port excursion outside of Carnival Conquest – Caribbean Cruise. The cruise ship offered a group boat trip out to Stingray City but it didn’t seem as appealing as jet skiing to it. Read More
Fishing – Pelican’t have the Baby Hammerhead Shark I Caught (Naples Pier, Florida)
February 18, 2014 | JWadmin 2
We learned that fishing from Naples Pier does not require a fishing license. The only big challenge is finding parking in the winter season as many snowbirds or weather escapees from the north flock to Florida, therefore making parking a premium.

Shark Valley: Everglades National Park (Miami, Florida)
February 7, 2014 | JWadminTime to take the Brompton for a 15-mile bicycling loop in the Florida Everglades… specifically, an area called Shark Valley. They also have a tram tour but biking allows to explore the scenery of the Everglades at our own pace. Read More
Safari and Behind the Scenes at Giraffe Ranch (Dade City, Florida)
January 25, 2014 | JWadmin 3We ♥ animals. I’ve never met a giraffe I didn’t like so why not visit a place called Giraffe Ranch. We made a reservation for a Safari Vehicle Tour with the expectation to “take part in real hands-on interactions with many species that feed from the vehicle.” Sounds like a grand ol’ time!! Best of all was paying extra for a Behind-the-Scenes Tour. Check out why…

Snorkeling with Manatees – Three Sisters Springs (Crystal River, Florida)
January 21, 2014 | JWadmin 2We headed to Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge. Seeing manatees while snorkeling beside them has been on my bucket list since the beginning of our RV planning. It’s finally here! Inspiration to swim with the manatees came from several sources: Roadtrippers, National Geographic’s story – "When Push Comes to Shove" to the mention in our 1,000 Places to See Before You Die book.
