Gerard and I split up today. I took the boat out snorkeling and Gerard went on a hike in the jaguar preserve. Our snorkeling boat visited bird island before heading for the reef. Saw frigate birds with their mating season throat sack in bright red. A fellow passenger said she had seen frigate birds many times, but never with the red throat sack of mating season. Also saw pelicans and boobies.
Snorkeling was impressive with sightings of 3 different kinds of rays, lobster, crab and many, many fish and coral. Lunch on one of the cayes made for a perfect 1/2 day outing.
A walk along the beach at the hotel in the late afternoon made for a great day. Had the lobster for dinner. Tried it both ways - broiled and grilled. Would recommend broiled as it let the subtle lobster flavor come through. Stuffed ourselves with another wonderful desert!
Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
