About Me

Coastal and Latin American Excursions

Enjoy Unique Travel Experiences and Land Excursions. 

Over the span of twenty years, I’ve been blessed to visit and explore several countries and destinations.  I've learned from planning and in the moment I always include at least one worthwhile Excursion experience. These experiences highlight and have enhanced my travel.  

While on vacation in Costa Rica, I had the thrilling experience of Zip Lining to 16 platforms.  I can't forget the unforgettable excursion to the rain forest of Lamanai ('Submerged Crocodile') in Belize.  I was overwhelmed by the marvel and mystery of the Ancient Mayan Ruins from 1500 BC.  The Excursion tour included a very savory Belizean lunch.   

In St. Louis we hopped on a Pedi cab to the historic, Gateway Arch.  Literally a capsule or pod with 4 seats elevated us to the 630 foot highest point.  An excursion with a view and worth the experience.  Most hotels and resorts offer nearby attractions and tour options. 

Europe's Rail transportation is convenient for connecting and exploring other cities. This is how I discovered plenty of the cultural and historical sights and excursions. From the 1st Century Church to the Catacombs and Ruins of Ancient Rome, Classic 8th Century Greek.  In addition to the 15th-16th Century Medieval Renaissance museums of art.  A Salvador Dali's Exhibit and a visit to the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.

From my experience, the Coast of Central America and the Caribbean has much adventure, nature and native life.  To add to the experience, I recommend a cabana by the water where the tropical trade winds are intoxicating.
