If you have the chance to say goodbye, take it; it will be excruciating, but you won't regret it.

Esperanza Resort: quite possibly heaven on Earth.

Yes, sometimes we are in the wrong place at the wrong time; but most of the time, we are exactly where we are supposed to be.

A smile and a laugh can get us through anything.

Oh Kiefer....

Never again will I ever take for granted clean water or proper sanitation.

Well, it's official: I think someday I do want a baby.

Elephants can live to be more than 80 years old.

Durian fruit is quite possibly the most repulsive smell known to man.

There's no escaping jetlag, just accept it and plan for it.
