Flyboarding in St. Thomas

I Am Iron Woman

Posted on July 22, 2014 by Lesley | 1 Comments

I seek adventures that scare me. Living life on the other side of my fears is the greatest reward possible. While in St. Thomas, USVI, I had the opportunity to try flyboarding over the pristine waters of Lindbergh Bay with St. Thomas Flyboarding. I was scared; heck, I was petrified. Flying 30 feet above the crystal blue waters, diving like…

Athena Enjoying Newport Coast Villas

Toddler Fun Day at Newport Coast Villas

Posted on February 16, 2014 by Lesley | 2 Comments

Balancing my time well when traveling with Athena can be difficult. She needs time during the day to nap, she needs to eat regular meals,  and she needs to be back at the hotel by 8 pm to go to bed. It’s important to balance and have a toddler fun day and an adult fun day… with a toddler. That…

Alberta, Canada

Experience. Appreciate. Alberta. Canada.

Posted on December 11, 2013 by Lesley | 4 Comments

I’m typically not a man of few words; but, every once in a while, I just like to Be. Still. And truly experience nature and appreciate my surroundings. I’m not sure there’s a better place to experience nature and appreciate your surroundings than Alberta. Canada. Well… maybe South Island, New Zealand (my favorite place in the world!); but, on the North…

Bad Hills, Alberta

Bald Hills – Jasper National Park, Alberta

Posted on December 7, 2013 by Lesley | 6 Comments

Bald Hills in Jasper National Park, Alberta is a popular hiking trip for experienced hikers – however, even I was able to do this and I am the type of person who does a hike like this every couple of years or so. Bald Hills is located near Maligne Lake, which is famous for the Spirit Island photo. There are two…

Let it Rain at Marriott’s Harbour Lake, Florida

Posted on October 7, 2013 by Lesley | 6 Comments

The rain was coming down in buckets when I arrived at Marriott’s Harbour Lake, A Marriott Vacation Club Resort, in Orlando, Florida today. I was discouraged. I’m only here for three days; I didn’t want to spend one of them with nothing to do. When I checked in, though, and was handed the resort activity guide, my mood instantly changed. Their…

Sea Curacao

Posted on July 26, 2013 by Lesley | 3 Comments

From relaxing in calm waters to jumping from piers and cliffs, Curacao offers so many opportunities to enjoy the picturesque beaches, or playas as they are called in the local Papiamentu language, that dot the island. My grandest water experiences were at Playa Kenepa, Cas Abao, and Pirate Bay, but no matter where you go in Curacao, you can easily “sea”…

Tall Tales in Curacao

Posted on July 24, 2013 by Lesley | 1 Comments

Would you believe me if I told you that I found a place to quench my adventurous side yet it’s so family-friendly that even Athena, at 15 months old, can participate? At the Dolphin Academy Curacao, the Dolphin Encounter is accessible for all ages. Today, we were both able to touch, hug, and kiss a dolphin while learning all about them. Rather…

Bali: A Beautiful Chaos

Posted on May 16, 2013 by jasminetravels | 10 Comments

There’s something about Bali that, if you let it, will mellow you out, loosen your jaw — did you know most of us spend our days with our jaws clenched, which in turns creates tension in the hips? — and put a perpetual smile on your face.  Having traveled to at least a couple dozen countries and lived in six…
