Our travel experience is varied and we cannot pick a favorite! We love hiking the Grand Canyon, camping on the beach at Dry Tortugas National Park, Florida, snorkeling the reefs with sea turtles in Hol Chan Marine Reserve, Belize, kayaking amongst the sea ice and porpoising penguins in Antarctica or a day on the beautiful sands at Bimini, Bahamas...or maybe castles, quaint European villages with cobbled-filled alleyways and narrow stairways leading to breathtaking overlooks of the Mediterranean Sea and all of the shutters, doors and archways in between...or soaring above the turquoise Caribbean in a helicopter or bouncing across sand dunes in Utah!
