It's almost time to embark to the isle of St. Kitts on the Marriott Beach Blogger adventure. 13 days, but who's counting. The good people at the Marriott and I got on the phone and were discussing all the activities that there is to do on property and on the island. So much so that it will be impossible to fit it all into a 5 day trip. We decided the best way to choose the activities for me to … [Read more...]

Naples is a great little city. Sure it costs a small fortune to live there and it has a large retired population that doesn't know how to drive their big cars, but it's unbelievably beautiful and has a lot of charm. Part of the charming personality comes from the annual Naples Canoes Races. I would say it's one of the most entertaining events the city puts on and also one of the biggest … [Read more...]

March. It's my favorite month. Why? Because it's March Madness in college basketball (Go Jayhawks!), St. Patrick's Day is in March, my buddy Shaw has a birthday some time this month that we always seem to forget, and it's the beginning of Spring and Spring Break. Pretty good reasons to celebrate the entire month I would say. To help all the Castaways that live up north dig themselves out of a … [Read more...]

As Erin and I were tooling about the small streets of … [Read more...]

Earlier this week I got an email that stood out. It was from a 16 year old kid named Nick. Nick is stuck in the cold north and dreams of living a life in the palm trees, who doesn't though right. Nick's favorite … [Read more...]
