Sorry fellows, but this Product Praise is just for the ladies. There’s no real romantic way to describe this product, so I’ll dive right into it. Put frankly, the GoGirl allows women to stand up while peeing. There have been a few of these types of products floating around for a while — [...]

atching Brasilian news, I am stunned by the drastic drop in water level at Iguaçu Falls (Brasilians also spell it Iguassu Falls and the Argentines insist on Iguazú Falls!) and the Amazon Basin. This phenomenon headlines at least once per week and if the Brasilians are concerned, so am I. The famous falls, [...]

In the June/July 2009 issue, National Geographic Adventure highlights the Galapagos yacht, M/Y Eric, in their “World Class: Lodges + Escapes” feature. What makes the Eric so interesting? Complete with solar panels and wind turbines, the yacht is the first hybrid ship of its kind — but let’s hope it’s not the last. [...]

Adventure Lifer, Reilly, lived the high-life onboard the luxury yacht, the Atmosphere, spending a week in remote Patagonia."Spending a week onboard the expedition vessel '
Atmosphere' was an incredible experience -- the ultimate catch-and-release that I will never forget. The service was first-class, prompt and one step ahead of your every move. We drank champagne in glass flutes while we soaked in the natural hot springs. You wouldn't have realized you were at waters' edge during

Lake Atitlan, Antiqua, Tikal, Pacaya volcano Mayan markets and more – Trip Coordinator, Jen, spends time in beautiful Guatemala. "My trip to Guatemala was fantastic! In 2 weeks, my boyfriend and I saw much of the country. We traveled to colonial Antigua and hiked the Pacaya volcano – The only active volcano in Guatemala! We then traveled to Lake Atitlan where we canoed around the lake, ate delicious seafood and relaxed at our beautiful hotel, the Posada de Santiago. After the

Last winter Jodi's travel bug took her to the Amazon and Galapagos. Then, in early June, this Adventure Lifer took off for a two and a half week adventure through Peru and Bolivia."Following a week in Peru, I headed south to the world's largest salt desert in Uyuni,
Bolivia. I am a big fan of off-the-beaten track tours, and this one didn't disappoint! Learning about the salt process and how the history of this country has been partially shaped by its existence was very rewarding!

Trip Coordinator, Andrew, and his wife Carrie, spent two weeks in the wildlife-rich jungles of Costa Rica."For two weeks in May, we traveled the whole country in a whirlwind tour that made our heads spin! From the white-plumed peak of Turrialba to the remote rainforest cabanas of Selva Bananito and from the turtle nesting grounds of Tortuguero to the black-rock slopes of Arenal, we criss-crossed the land in search of this tiny country's most beautiful places. We didn't skimp on

Continuing her small-ship adventures, last month Reilly introduced the Galapagos Islands to her dad."How do you sum up a trip to the
Galapagos? A birders paradise? A zoo without cages? Neither of the previous statements do Darwin’s Islands any justice. The
Flamingo I, our vessel for the week, took us on an expedition to see and experience as much of the
Galapagos as we possible could. Snorkeling with Green Sea Turtles, Sea Lions, Penguins and fish – oh yes – brightly colored and

Trip Coordinator, Renee, and I have just finalized a November
Antarctica adventure onboard the M/V
Orlova. We will be traveling during the Thanksgiving holiday, and are readily anticipating a less-traditional celebration – trading in a table-full of relatives, turkey and stuffing for penguins, whales and icebergs. It will be the first time Renee and I have visited the great while continent, and it is going to be a long five months as we eagerly await the journey.
We hope our trip will
