Video: Up Close With Hummingbirds

Video: Up Close With Hummingbirds

Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds are fairly common in central Maryland. Here is some video, with the camera sometimes only inches away, of them drinking from artificial nectar feeders. Turn your volume up and you can hear them chirp and buzz. [youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNjvlVvL7b0?t=10s]

Luxury Cruising on Ha Long Bay For a Backpacker Budget

August 7, 2013Filed in: Destinations by Mike Shubbuck

Ha Long Bay

We opted for the most inexpensive 3-day, 2-night Ha Long Bay cruise that we could negotiate. When the day came to leave, we were on pins and needles worrying whether we just made a terrible mistake. That morning, we left our hotel and headed to the travel agency we booked the cruise through so they could Read Post

Postcard from Vietnam

August 2, 2013Filed in: Destinations, Photos & Video by Tara & Mike

Mui Ne, Vietnam

Xin chào! Greetings from Vietnam, our final country on this 421-day journey. After eating our way through nearly all of Southeast Asia (Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia, and Laos), we have been loving the cuisine here in Vietnam. A lot of meat that we can’t eat, but also loads of mouthwatering seafood and delicious veggies. Read Post

Luang Prabang Morning Market

July 29, 2013Filed in: Destinations, Photos & Video by Tara Shubbuck

This is a locals’ market, so most of what you’ll find here aren’t crafts or tourist-geared products (you can find those in the night market). Instead, expect to see a lot of spices, grains, honeycomb, produce, raw (and cooked) Read Post

We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming to bring you this message: In one week our adventurous 14-month global honeymoon will be over. Can you believe it?! We have been thinking about our return to the U S of A, and you know what? Even though we’ve complained about it in the past, we are excited to Read Post
