Where We Are Going Next

Mallory is always planning. Here is what is on the list.

Exumas, Bahamas

The water. The remoteness. The logistics of getting there that nobody explains clearly. We are working on it. A planning post is live in the blog — come back for the reality post after we go.

We are from the Midwest. Pigs are not exotic to us. We are going for the water.

Anegada, British Virgin Islands

Multiple ferries through the BVI. Almost no tourist infrastructure. That is entirely the point. Horseshoe Reef. Flamingos. Lobster season. The effort required to get there is exactly what makes it worth it.

Jost Van Dyke, British Virgin Islands

Foxy's Beach Bar. White Bay. A natural companion to the Anegada trip. The BVI deserve more than a day from a cruise ship.

Grenada

An underwater sculpture park. A chocolate hotel. Nutmeg farms. A rum distillery that has been running on water power since the 1700s. Beaches most people have never heard of. We have been researching. A planning post is in the blog.

Saba

The world's shortest commercial runway. A tiny volcanic island. Almost no mass tourism. Exactly our kind of place.

Dominica

Whale watching capital of the Caribbean. Boiling Lake. Rainforest that covers almost the entire island. The most untouched island in the Eastern Caribbean.

La Vida Resort, Panama

Mallory found it. It is on the list. First stop outside the Caribbean.

Pacific Coast, Costa Rica

The natural next step beyond the Caribbean. Same off the beaten path philosophy. Different ocean.
