Because of the quieter pace of life here I can also focus more on my two passions of writing and traveling. You can only do so much research on a country before arriving and everything I've experienced here so far has exceeded my expection...

It was in the shallow waters struggling and banging against the rocks so we moved it out from the rocks to deeper water, but it died and got stuck in the rocks again as the tide went out. We buried it... It was an immature dolphin so we were ...

Here's what the The Roderick Family had to say ~ Summer 2010
"OK – where do we start? It was a FANTASTIC vacation, and we’re just
going to try to summarize how it went.
First off, it was SO COOL to have somebody at the airport with our

(I had no idea they could pin it down to within a few days... so I guess we

Upon arriving at Las Orchid...
