Howdy friends and family, Did you think we missed Travel Tuesday? Never fear! We might be late, but we wouldn’t miss it. 🙂 On our journey further south to Brazil, we had a long layover at in Panama. Perry suggested that we could zip on out to the Panama Canal and then zip on back…

Adventures and (mostly) Misadventures in Parque Tayrona, Colombia
Dear friends, There have been two heartbreaking news stories this week that we feel compelled to acknowledge: There isn’t a good segue between either of these items and our travels in Colombia.

Singapore (For Real This Time)
Heyo, friends and fam! Before you worry: yes, we’re actually visiting Singapore, not just the airport this time. We have to admit that we aren’t city people, but as far as cities (or rather, city-states) go, Singapore is well-organized, clean, and interesting.
