Waman Qorikancha, Cuzco, Peru


The Waman is perfectly located in the heart of the city directly beside the church and the Incan Sun Temple and on the Incan walk.

The staff was very accommodating and arranged for our laundry to be cleaned for a price. We had just left the Amazon Rainforest and nothing was clean.  Cuzco is colder due to the high altitude and the hotel served complimentary Coca Tea which helps with Altitude sickness.

You can get the prescription from your Doctor but it made me really dozy and did keep my headache away which I experienced at Breckenridge Colorado while skiing.
The room was really pretty and had a sunroom to sit in that looked down into the sunny courtyard where complimentary breakfast was served each morning.



The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was very large with a gorgeously comfortable elegant bathtub which I partook in every evening. My only complaint was that the bathroom had glass doors with frosted strips only. This was not the most comfortable situation because we had our son Dax with us.

This hotel was also chosen by me because they had complimentary storage of our bags while taking the train to Machu Picchu which only allows 11 pounds. Our luggage was never weighed but I am glad that I stuck to that weight for my backpack.
It was a lovely stay and I highly recommend this hotel.

Climbing Mt. Solmar with The Dogs, Los Cabos, Mexico

Image
We heard about this climb from Darren's niece who had done the exact climb last week.  Whenever you do a search on hikes in the Los Cabos area, this Mount Solmar hike does not come up.  I would highly recommend it though because it was a great deal of fun and it was challenging.  I went with 3 friends and to top it all off there was a bunch of dogs walking with us up the mountain.   Enrique runs a Dog Training Center.  He started this hike with dogs to train them most likely. And now people join him for free and climb up Mount Solmar with the dogs. The dogs love it and they are barking and in a bit of a frenzy before you go.  You take an Uber or drive your car to the dog training center and you wait in line at 8:00 a.m. this hike accompanied by dogs is available every morning except Saturday.   Kent, Joelle, Craig and I in the line-up to get into see the dogs and start the climb. Enrique led us into the compound and gave us a talk on the area...

Kuilau Ridge Trail - Kauai, Hawaii

Image
My son Dax wanted to do this trail because it was in the interior of the island in the Rain Forest of Kauai. Some unusual Dr. Seuss like plants behind Kim. There is quite a bit of parking available before and after the bridge. There are washrooms available, they are super gross of the non flushing kind and the smell was really bad worse than your average outdoor Biffy. The trail begins at the yellow metal gates and there is a lot of elevation to climb up for the first section.  Eventually you get to the pretty views of a multitude of greens. You can literally take a ton of photos because every view is gorgeous! The forest is thick with some scary steep drop offs but the trail is wide enough for safety  You can continue for a longer trail for another 3.2 miles past the bridge but our hike was already going to be 2 hours round trip so we stopped at the bridge. That was enough beauty for one day. I highly recommend this hike and gave it a 5 out of 5 because it was moderately chal...

Mediterranean Cruise- MSC World Europa October 6, 2025 Sailing

MSC World Europa in the background while in Messina, Italy . Naples, Italy   We had been to Naples Italy before and spent approximately 4 days there to explore in 2010 on our world tour.  We had visited Pompeii for the second time in 2013 at that point and it never failed to cause wonder.  Pompeii is an amazing archaeological site that is still an active dig site and will be for the next hundred or so years.  It is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site .  We arrived early into Naples and we had time to visit the National Museum which we had missed last visit.  This museum is extremely worthwhile because it contains most of the artifacts dug up from Pompeii and Herculaneum . Massive marble statue taken from the Grand Palace site .  Its the first time I have ever looked petite. Beautiful statues throughout the museum Wall murals that were saved from Pompeii Famous painting from Pompeii Mosaics Large gorgeous vase that was saved. Glass artifacts Sturdy meta...
