Working Vacation?

Working Vacation?

I was thinking back to a "vacation" trip my wife and I enjoyed in Hawaii not long ago. We would wake up early at like 4:30 am, brew some awesome Kona Coffee and get our work done with our teams so we could get out and play in the sand and surf!  Good times...

Bahama's Dive Trip

Returning from a GREAT SCUBA Dive Week.
Book yours at www.KickenBackTravel.com

Started off a bit rough with a Tropic Storm blowing through the first three days.  Once the storm cleared and we could get out on the water, it was some of the BEST diving.  Getting in was easy!  One giant stride.  Getting OUT was crazy.  The boat was pitching with each passing wave.  It was a matter of timing, jumping onto the boat ladder with full gear and hanging on! A few short steps up to the swim step and WHEW! another great dive...

Returned to Seattle from Brazil yesterday.  THAT is a long flight.  The Brazilian economy and middle class are growing with several key economic boosters heading their way into the World Cup...
