I’m a believer in insurance. I consider it just one of the necessities in life. So, for my mega trip, I decided to bone up on my coverage…
I crossed the Atlantic in 14 days, sailing from Spain to Panama. That’s 5,524 nautical miles, spanning 5 countries, 4 islands, and 2 continents. Along the way I got to see 3 nautical icons up close: the Strait of Gibraltar, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Panama Canal!
I’m on a long trip and I’m a neat freak, so organizing my photos is kind of a big deal to me. It may seem a bit convoluted, but it’s working (as in, I can find the picture I want, when I want it — fairly easily anyway).
Recently, I’ve left 3 countries because of fears of political violence: Egypt, Zambia & Malawi.
As I fine-tune my radar to detect sticky political situations, I’ve developed a barometer for getting the Hell out of Dodge…Check it out!
I was heading to Burma from Thailand for just one week – so left my big bag in Bangkok and stuffed my carry-on camera bag instead. I’m calling this my Week Away Pack or “WAP” Strategy.
Check out my packing list and watch the how I fit it all in!
Where ever I go, I’m always having an “EmergenC”!
Check out my latest one from the beautiful island of Palawan in the Philippines! I’m standing on the beach of “Secret Lagoon” – wish you were with me!
