Category: Places We’ve Been

You may notice a trend when you read places we’ve been. On Monday’s I try to publish posts specific to our cruising trip throughout Central America. But I try to publish posts about the smaller, more out of the way anchorages we’ve been to. I think between the HelmsMistress and I, we’ve written plenty about the larger ports we stayed in, but I want you to read about the smaller, more out of the way places we went, even for one night at a time.
I also write about family trips in the US and abroad, don’t be afraid to comment or ask for travel advice.
