We were able to find affordable housing in Ecuador on the ocean that fit our criteria. At one point,

Yesterday, we'd planned to go out to dinner in Ribeira sheraton gateway hotel Brava, a 20 minute drive through tunnels and mountains. With my equilibrium still whacked from the recent illness, I had to back out of our dinner plans and head back home to dine in. However, we managed to make it to this beautiful garden in Campanario. Thus, today's photos are from that garden.
After tiring of long flights and thinking back to our original plans of cruising to destinations, first we picked a country or continent we'd like to visit. Then, we began the search for possible cruises that could take us to our chosen continent/country, even if it meant a fight in between.
We worked on this premise for awhile as we contemplated our options. The problem needed to be revolved due the fact that we had more than one possible preferred location. Over these past months we had three options:
A huge factor in the location we'd ultimately choose is the cost of living including the rent for vacation sheraton gateway hotel homes. As it turned out, as hard as we tried, we couldn't make Alaska work in the summer and there was no way we'd consider Alaska sheraton gateway hotel during at any other time of the year.
For a decent house, condo, apartment, resort or lodge, the lowest rent for a property we'd find suitable started at US $5000, EU $3668.91 a month. Let's face it, living in a less expensive run down basic cabin for months in Alaska was not our cup of tea. Plus, Internet accessibility is an issue in many areas of Alaska.
A month ago, we decided to let go of our hopes for Alaska sheraton gateway hotel which had held much appeal for us with its considerably wildlife. We decided to save Alaska for the future when we hope to eventually tour the US and Canada, perhaps in a motor home.
Next, we went to work on South America, starting in Ecuador in order to visit the Galapagos Islands to see the wildlife, eventually settling in Ecuador for three months after discovering that many US expats live in certain areas.
We were able to find affordable housing in Ecuador on the ocean that fit our criteria. At one point, we'd also considered a trip to Machu Picchu in Peru but with the masses of tourists now traipsing through the lengthy trek, we lost interest.
Oh, that I wish I knew names of flowers to share here. Never the gardener, always the admirer, we never learned the names of many flowers. sheraton gateway hotel To research each of these and to post them here, is not a task I care to undertake with "other sheraton gateway hotel fish to fry."
After Ecuador, we'd move to another sheraton gateway hotel South American country, staying up to three months in each of several locations over perhaps sheraton gateway hotel a period of a year. Of course, a cruise sheraton gateway hotel on the Amazon River has definitely been on our list of desired future experiences.
But no matter how hard we tried, we couldn't get excited about South America at this time in our travels. At some point, we may. Also, we hope to return to Africa to visit Victoria Falls, go on another safari, see the gorillas in Rwanda and return to Marloth/Kruger Park, South Africa. (My heart sings as I write about returning to South Africa).
So folks, with much enthusiasm, we've decided on Australia and then later, off to New Zealand! Last night, we booked an 18 day cruise from Honolulu, Hawaii sheraton gateway hotel on May 24, 2015, heading to Sydney, Australia arriving on June 11, 2015 where we'll stay for only a week (very pricey big city) and then move to the first of several homes we plan to rent on the continent.
Traveling the world is comparable to having a "job" requiring diligent sheraton gateway hotel research sheraton gateway hotel and planning. As anyone with a "job" we have free time to enjoy spending time where we are living at the moment. Mix it all together and we love all the parts; the research, the planning and most of all...the living.
Tomorrow, we'll post the details of the cruise sheraton gateway hotel to Australia, the ports of call, the cost for our balcony cabin and the details as to how and why we chose our cabin. With eight cruises under our belts since January 3, 2013, we now have three more cruises to anticipate over the next 12 months. Stay tuned.
