An 8 day mission to the Galapagos

April 3, 2013 by Beth Meyer

An 8 day mission to the Galapagos

Just call me Chuck. I spent eight fantastic days exploring the land and sea of the Galapagos islands. I had absolutely no idea just how much I would love that fabulous place but it is incredible. I don’t recall learning that much about the Galapagos in school, and most of what I knew previously was […]

I’m off to the Galapagos!

March 25, 2013 by Beth Meyer

I’m off to the Galapagos!

I booked a trip to the Galapagos! YAY! The Galapagos is one of those places that I know a bit about, most of my knowledge learned from Alex Trebec and the Jeopardy team when they have a dedicated Galapagos category, but a place that, despite not knowing a ton, I always wanted to visit and […]

Mancora: Part 2

March 24, 2013 by Beth Meyer

Mancora: Part 2

I ended up spending a total of 18 glorious days in Mancora. More or less, 18 days at the Loki Mancora, because the hours logged there faaarrrr outnumbered the hours spent in the town. I did sign up for Spanish lessons and, although my speaking (and remembering of vocab) still needs work, my teachers were […]

St Patrick’s Day: Loki Style

March 18, 2013 by Beth Meyer

St Patrick’s Day: Loki Style

When I arrived at Loki in Mancora on March 6, they were already getting prepared for St. Patrick’s Day. So, I figured it would be a pretty rad event. The events featured their own bar crawl (all held within the Loki compound), a Baby Guinness Train, face paint, the wheelbarrow, leapfrog, an absurd about of […]

Argentina: In a Nutshell

March 13, 2013 by Beth Meyer

Argentina: In a Nutshell

We came back and forth into Argentina three times (flying from South Africa, our trip to Uruguay and after our time in Chile) and all total spent about three weeks in the country. Argentina is massive and unfortunately we didn’t get a chance to get down south to Patagonia, but we did explore some magnificent […]

Mancora

March 10, 2013 by Beth Meyer

Mancora

I made it to Mancora for the big 31st birthday. The good news is that everyone at the hostel doesn’t believe it when I tell them I’m 31. That gives me free reign to continue acting a good five (on some days ten) years younger than I actually am, right?! 😉 I’m working hard by […]

Luxurious Lima

March 5, 2013 by Beth Meyer

Luxurious Lima

Since my Instagram photo was used for the 2012 Toast to You Starwood Preferred Guest yearly recap, I’ve been chatting off and on with the folks at Starwood Hotels & Resorts. They graciously put me in touch with The Westin Lima who offered to host me for a night. After three weeks at an average […]

A Castle in Cusco

March 3, 2013 by Beth Meyer

A Castle in Cusco

I received an invitation to check out the newly renovated Libertador Palacio del Inka in Cusco for my last night in town. When you’re trading a 14-person dorm room to a room by yourself, it’s already Über-luxurious (this was my first time having a room to myself since my honeymoon for one at the W […]

Machu Picchu & Huayna Picchu

March 2, 2013 by Beth Meyer

Machu Picchu & Huayna Picchu

Machu Picchu: a UNESCO World Heritage Site, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World and the “Lost City of the Incas.” Machu Picchu seems to be one of those places that is on most folks bucket lists, however it was not something that was originally in the plan for our trip. Danielle & […]

Isla del Sol & Lago Titicaca

February 26, 2013 by Beth Meyer

Isla del Sol & Lago Titicaca

Copacabana is the main stop for the Bolivian side of Lake Titicaca, the highest lake in the world (3,812m) and is a nice, quite relaxing lake town. I met a fellow Southerner, Dave, who was on the same path up to Cusco as I was, so we decided to stop in Copacabana together.  While we […]
