It’s prime migration time for the birds in the DELMARVA area. Within the Atlantic Flyway, this area is a magnet for little yellow birds flying from South and Central America to points further north. This week is a “birding blitz” week for me. Starting with two mornings locally […]
An afternoon was spent with a “Deep Water Snorkel” at Vicente Roca Point on Isabela Island within a hidden enclave of Green Sea Turtles. At least 20 Green Sea Turtles of varying ages floated among the algae filled rocks of the cove. Along with Galapagos Penguins, Galapagos Sea […]

Little did I know that the walk from the black sanded beach to a beige colored beach was to be a power walk. As we had a wet landing upon arrival on Santiago Island, I had worn my Teva sandals in the water. Walking with wet Tevas and […]
Each island within Galapagos is truly unique in its own way. The cruise lines throughout the islands do their best to maximize time during your visit and offer two stops daily at different locations. Traveling on the Eclipse ship by Ocean Adventures was truly a pleasure. The schedule […]
