Where In The World Are David & Leslie?

Finally! After 12 months, 10 residences, 3 islands and 2 countries - we are finally in the location we planned for our initial retirement location in May 2020. We arrived on Bonaire on April 30th, and have been enjoying (almost) every minute since. We have a lovely condo overlooking the water with...

We got an early start this morning in an attempt to make sure our luggage traveled with us to Bonaire. Although we enjoyed our time in Curaçao and fell in love with the island (especially the diving), after six weeks of lockdown, we are ready to say good-bye. We wanted to be first in line to...

Today is our last day in Curaçao - we leave for Bonaire in the morning. While we are looking forward to our next adventure, we are sad to leave the beautiful island of Curacao. We have had many unforgettable dives and met some amazing people while visiting Curaçao, and will definitely be back....

Another day another dive. Today we are with Rebel Diving Curacao at Playa Porto Marie which is known for it's the beach facilities (restaurant, showers, area for divers to suit up and rinse equipment) as well as for it's 2 local residents, Willy and Woody. We were lucky to see both Willy and Woody...

Who knows where David is right now or what he is doing. He could be killing zombies or destroying beats with his beat saber or doing any other unique activities set in an amazing backdrop. While we do get plenty of exercise diving (including hauling our gear all over the place), David likes to get...

David and I are back in Willemstad and couldn't be happier. Staying in the West part of Curacao was an "adventure" and we will say the diving was phenomenal, however our stay in the West did lack some of the luxuries we have become accustomed to like hot water, TV channels (YouTube and Netflix...

We spent our last dive day in the Westpunt area at Go West Diving. Their house reef, aka "Playa Kalke" and "Alice in Wonderland", is quite lovely, with loads of sponges and "mushroom like" coral formations. The Go West dive center is one of the best we've encountered in the Caribbean. It is very...

We have quite a few iguanas as neighbors while staying at Playa Laguna. Like many fish that we encounter underwater, the iguanas display different personalities. Some are very timid and retreat as we approach while others you can hand feed. The iguanas also enjoy lounging in the prickly trees...

When asked what type of meal David wanted for his birthday, he said he just wanted a good hamburger. What makes a good hamburger for David? One that is rare, thick and juicy. Very pink in the center and dripping with goodness. On Thursday night, David's birthday, we went to a restaurant in Aruba...
