Days not Homeless: 5 Years, 106 Days ...and loving every second of this alpine adventure!
Corcovado NP Hike
La Palma to Sirena I’m sure we can’t put into words what a wonderful adventure this turned out to be in Corcovado, but we’ll try. Our second good decision, after deciding to go to Corcovado, was hiring Nito from Surcostours as our guide for 3 days. His knowledge of...
Jaco and Out
Surf Lesson Our friend Jamie was coming for a long weekend to stay with me whilst Wayne was doing the La Ruta bike race for 3 days, or so he thought. It was her idea to sign up for surf lessons and I’m glad we did. Jaco is extremely popular with surfers from beginner...
La Ruta de los Conquistadores
Pre Race Discovering La Ruta was pure coincidence. By chance I saw post from a guy on the Leadville 100 mountain bike news group asking if anyone doing Leadville had an available room for a Costa Rican Pro in exchange for accommodation at La Ruta. This peaked my...
A’s First RTW Work Week
The plan for the first couple months of our RTW adventure was for Andrea to remain working, this was her decision and nothing forced onto her by her semi-retired husband! That’s what also made Costa Rica our starting point, due to it being on a 2 hour time zone...
First Weekend
Saturday 20th October 2012 This was supposed to be the first day I get to ride day 1 of the “La Ruta de los Conquistadores” mountain bike race course, a 3 day event from Jaco on the Pacific coast to Limon on the Caribbean. I signed up for this crazy event after...
The Trip Begins
Thursday 18th October 2012, 10.45am Retirement is definitely not over-rated, at least not for me – Andrea may not agree with that yet! So we arrived in San Jose, Costa Rica on a classy Spirit Air flight from Fort Lauderdale and immediately paid too much for car...

Packing for Central America
Wayne and I did a test run of our backpacks for Central America. Nice and Light! Mine is only 24lbs! We've spent a lot of time reading other blogs to figure out the best stuff to take. Luckily, we're coming back to the states after Central America so we'll have a...
Leadville 100
What an awesome day! Wayne kicked ass at the Leadville 100 Mountain Bike race on August 11th. He finished in 8:49 and earned his BIG BUCKLE! I'm so proud of him - he trained really hard for this :)Elation after 8 hrs and 48 mins in the saddleReceiving my BIG buckle...
Two Become One
So on a beautiful day in July Andrea and I exchanged vows and got married - my parents, sister and brother-in-law, and Andrea's parents and sister were all in town for the affair. Alongside family we had 22 good friends join us on a boat cruising the Intracoastal...
