A hard day at the beach
All, it’s been ‘Island time’ on getting posts up, I’ll be getting things updated shortly.
On my way to Bali where we are spending some time
This place is still a great place to hang for a short time. Definitely stop for a few days and get the feel of the Pacific.
It does not cost too much to fly here.
See more pics, go to Picassa.
There were no problems coming over, as usual I got sent to the special line to have my bag looked at as we went through security.

And that’s all folks, we are off to begin ‘The BeachCombers 2011 Tour’
We are gone!
Well, here it is already, moving day.
We have sublet our place for a year and out we go to begin our wandering.
Lisa and I have joined Couch Surfers to help out while we are on the road.
What to bring along? A year on the road, what do you need?
Here’s a view of my computer, camera and media stuff. This doesn’t include Lisa’s stuff.
This will be the second leg of our trip from Feb 2012 to June 2012.
Barbados, over to the Antilles, then some South Caribbean Island hopping.
Skip over to Panama, cruise the canal and West Caribbean Islands.
Fly up to Central Mexico with it’s old Colonial artsy silver cities. Over to the Western Mexico Pacific coastline to visit Puerto Vallarta and it’s many fishing villages to the south. Then East to Merida, with it’s music and dance. Our last spot before heading home will be the Mexican Caribbean coast.

When you travel with an Artist you need to bring along some image capturing tools.
I have tried to ensure that I have one camera for myself when I travel with the Artist but somehow it always seems that all the cams are in the possession of another.
For the last trip I purchased a compact 14megpix Nikon S6000, red body, with a 7x optical zoom, and 720p HD H.264 video capture.
It takes good shots, good video, and fits in your pocket.
Problem, it worked too well. The Artist had it and I was back to watching. It does mean that I get to be in a lot of the shots but…
Solution; look for something that takes shots, only not too good shots. And of course be inexpensive. Kodak Easyshare Sport delivers all this, plus
you can take it into the water. No zoom, no decent video capture, actually no nothing. You point the camera, and take a shot, even while snorkelling. For $80 it fits the bill.
I think the Artist will not be reaching for this one anytime soon. Now I have a cam in my pocket all the time no matter where I am.
