On our recent trip to Puerto Rico we used many forms of transportation; big planes, tiny planes, shuttle vans, taxis, rental cars, ferries, kayaks, swimming, feet, elevators, escalators and funiculars,. We did not at any point use a horse. (The last time we rode horses Blonde came home in a neck brace so for Blonde horses are on the equivalent of her personal "no fly" list.) … [Read more...]

Kayaking Collision Course in Puerto Rico
Blonde and Brunette promiscuously enter travel contests. We enter contests as often as Hugh Hefner wishes he entered all of those silicone-breasted 22 year olds who litter his mansion. After years of entering contests Blonde recently won a free trip for two to Puerto Rico.

Can’t get no satisfaction? Try snorkeling!
[slideshow] No, that isn't what we mean! We know what you're thinking and you should be ashamed of yourself.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Renewal
Outside of Chaing Mai in Thailand Blonde was observing this tender scene of a mother elephant and her nursing baby. At the conclusion of the feeding the mother put her trunk down into a mud puddle, filled it and enthusiastically snorted a mud/snot waterfall all over Blonde. Apparently the mother wasn't pleased by the presence of Blonde observing this heartwarming scene. It … [Read more...]
Traveling with someone you are not having sex with (and wouldn’t want to be anyway)
From the title of this post you probably assumed that it is about married couples traveling, but it isn't. Instead it's about traveling with a friend, sibling, other relative, or even someone you don't know well but who is brave/foolish enough to consider going away with you. Traveling without the expectation of sex means you will be tempted to be yourself - be careful with … [Read more...]
