Yes, I know it's been far too long with no update. Things have been a bit of whirlwind the past few months. The economy out in Cali claimed another victim...after looking for 4 months and not being able to find anything, I decided to come back to Boston for awhile. Luckily, I was able to go back to my old company and things are going good. I'll be on the east coast until the end of the year and then I'm heading west again...although I may be heading back the long way by going to Asia first:) Laptop trouble is limiting my abilitly to post the photos from the last part of our trip but I'm working on it and will try to update again soon.

Greetings from sunny, Southern California. Just a quick update on things...I've been here for a few weeks now and it has been going good. I've been focusing all my energy on my job hunt and have a few things in the mix. I'll have a little more free time during the coming week so I'll try to get back to working on the website. For now, I posted a few more pictures from Ecuador. Here are some from a beautiful hike to Fuya Fuya, a few from white water rafting, and some good party pictures from Banos Ecuador.

We finally made it to Peru!! We're at a beach town in Mancora and thanks to some fast internet I was able to make a HUGE update today. I've posted some new journals as well as tons of pictures. All pics from Colombia are now posted. There are some great pictures of the beautiful city of Cartagena, and some cool videos of us in the Mud Volcano near there. There are also some great artistic shots from the Salt Cathedral in Bogota, and we loved a little mountain town called Villa de Leyva. We ended up doing the Zona Cafetera with my friend Angelica from Bogota and got some great photos from Salento and Valle de Cocora. Last but not least, here’s some pictures and videos of me and Drouyn/Australia getting tattoos in Popayan!

Happy Thanksgiving to all! The poor internet speeds in Ecuador have crippled my ability to upload anything. The first place we find with a decent connection I will be making a big update with photos and posting a few journals. I hope everyone enjoys a great Turkey Day.

We are in Ecuador now and doing great. Jodi's Mom was visiting us last week which went great. I finally posted the journal from our sailing trip. I'm getting caught up with pictures and journals so check back regularly over the next couple weeks.

Still loving life here in Colombia. I haven't had time to write as much as I'd like but I am posting pictures and videos still. All the pictures/videos from our sailing trip from Panama to Colombia are now posted as well as hundreds of pictures from our six day trek to the Lost City.

Monday 06-October-2008
Wow...it was a September to remember! We have spent a lot of time off the grid and I'm getting even more behind than usual. We are in Bogota now and I am upoading like crazy. I posted the rest of our Nicaragua pictures and the pictures from Starfish beach and Bocas del Toro. Everything from El Valle and Panama City is now posted as well. In the next couple days I'll be posting all the pictures/videos and journal from our sailing trip from Panama to Colombia.

We are finally in Colombia and it's beautiful here! I posted a few new pictures today. There are some really nice underwater photos form diving in Utila, and also pictures of the week we spent there. Check out the Monkey Hut in Nicaragua and here's a look at some of the beaches in Playa del Coco and the Nicoya Peninsula in Costa Rica.

We're in Panama City now staying with my friends Karina and Mario. It's been great here and we are trying to find a boat to Colombia. Meanwhile, I am posting a ton of pictures...everything from our month in Boquete has been posted, including a great night at La Cabana, some fun with the Howler Monkeys, the Cafe Ruiz Coffee tour, and the party from our last night there. I also put up more videos of animals from Paradise Gardens. The last of the Guatemala pictures are up too...don't miss the beautiful Lago Atitlan. I also posted pictures from when Jodi's Mom was here; the Copan Ruins and Roatan in Honduras.

Big update today...I've posted a few hundred pictures from Guatemala, including Tikal and Semuc Champey. I've also added a bunch of videos from Guatemala and videos of the animals at Paradise Gardens where we are volunteering here in Boquete.

We are in Boquete Panama now and just began volunteering at Paradise Gardens, a wild life rescue and rehab center. It's a beautiful place with tons of playful birds and monkeys. We plan to stick around here for a month before we continue on through Panama, so hopefully I'll be able to get a lot of pictures posted.

We've been in Guatemala the last few weeks. We spent some time up north seeing Tikal and at the moment we are in a town on Lago Atitlan...it is absolutely beautiful here. We'll be in Guatemala for another week but we're looking forward to a visit from Jodi's Mom on May 1. Journals and pictures are way behind but you can always see where we are by clicking here!

We are still in Belize at the moment but should be headed to Guatemala in the next couple days. Everything is going phenomenal still and we have had an amazing time in Belize...a small country that has A LOT to offer. We spent time diving in the Cayes, and saw some great ruins like Lamanai. We also spent a few days doing great hikes in Cockscomb Wild Life Sanctuary and finished up with the incredible ATM tour near San Ignacio. Slow/No internet has limited my postings but a couple new journals are up today along with pictures. I also added a new interactive Google Map that shows our progress!

The Quest II is rolling along great. We arrived in Belize yesterday after spending 3 great weeks in Mexico. We saw some great unknown places like Rio Lagartos, and also were impressed by the beauty of places like Cozumel. We got wet swimming in the Cenotes near Tulum and saw one of the Seven Wonders of the World, Chichen Itza. I've posted a few more pics and a journal today and will continue to get things up as fast as I can. Have a great weekend everyone!

Happy Valentine's Day everybody! It's the day for love so I'm spreading the love and putting the site back up for now. Be warned; I'm still making a lot of changes...there were will be some missing pages and broken links. I've added about 1500 pictures from the past 1.5 years. Tons of new pics in Boston and Voyages sections so if you've seen me and my camera since August of '06, you're probably in a few pics. We are in Cancun now and everything is going great...still in decompression mode and I'm going nuts trying to get this site to where I want it before we really get going. More upates will follow soon.

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT FOR TODAY: Tomorrow I'm boarding a plane for Cancun and The Quest II will officially begin. It has been 3.5 years since it was just me and my backpack, bouncing from place to place, seeing what kind of madness we could get into. I can't wait to get it going again and this time there's an added twist: The rollercoaster will have another passenger. My girlfriend Jodi has decided to join me in the world of the wandering. Who knows what great adventures await us...click here to go to the new Quest II page and follow along...

Hello to everyone out there. I know from this main page, it looks like the site has not been updated, but many pictures continue to be added to both The Voyages and the Boston section. Both are still behind, but if you haven't been here in awhile, check them out...especially the pictures from a trip to Panama from last Xmas/New Year's. Also, I'll be doing the Pan-Mass Challenge again this summer. It's a 84 mile bike ride that benefits cancer research. Anyone wishing to donate to the cause, please click here. There are many more pictures I'll be putting up throughout the summer, so keep checking back!

This website turned 5 years old today. I cannot believe what it has grown to since it's meager beginnings. Looking back, it's allowed me to keep one gigantic snapshot of what has been an incredible journey over the past 5 years. Without it, so many memories and faces would have faded away (hey, I'm an old man!) As I browsed through it today, it made me realize that the THOUSANDS of hours have been worth it and it gives me an appreciation for the magnitude of all I've done since 2002. Thanks to all who visit. I hope to continue on with this amazing project for many years to come.

Major update today!! I've added a new Boston section, which has all the pictures I've taken since arriving in the US, including pictures from Florida, Houston, Chicago, and NYC. Also, there are pictures from hiking Mt. Monadnock and from Dave and Carla's wedding. Journals have been added to the end of The Quest (including a head to head breakdown of Sao Paulo vs. Buenos Aires), as well as to the new Boston section. Lastly, you will notice I've put up over 200 new pictures from my first trip to South America in 2002.
