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.

Waterfalls & Rainbows: two days at Iguazu Falls

Iguazu Falls are the waterfalls of the Iguazu River on the border of Argentina and Brazil. It was high on my list of places I wanted to visit in Argentina, however, getting to and from the falls was a bit of a mission. To get there from Buenos Aires, you have to either fly, which […]
