After finishing our homemade dasayuno (breakfast) we decided to spend the day exploring the coast. We first went south, just beyond Uvita and Playa Balleña (which means whale’s tail) we had visited that particular beach before so we continued further south to Playa Ventana (which means Windows) I believe we paid 1,500 colones ($3) for […]
Saturday we took the day to just relax and enjoy the treehouse property. We eventually made our way to Dominical which is only a mile or so down the road. We walked around town noticing the changes that have been made since we were last here about six or seven years ago. Many of the […]
We boarded the 8:45am flight from Orlando, with a quick flight change in Ft Lauderdale. Two and a half hours later we were touching down in San Jose, Costa Rica. This is my sixth trip to this country, and I don’t think I could get tired of coming here. I still did not know any […]
Locals and tourists alike were beginning to pack in and stand shoulder to shoulder as Sean and Henny were playing a few songs in their set to kick off the weekly Wednesday night open mic jam session. I was exhausted from an already full day of work and play, but sat on a barstool with […]
The waves crashed and made merry noise just one hundred yards from the second level screened porch where we gathered. Giggling women around a table snacking on whatever everyone grabbed from their house for an impromptu party. My friend Kerriann came to visit on Tybee for a few days during spring break. It seemed like […]

Warm sunshine spread across the island like golden sweet honey being poured out as a rich indulgent gift to everyone who felt it. Locals began to gather at the area we call “down front”. Groups of four dressed in outlandish costumes to identify themselves as a team. Each team represented a restaurant, bar, family or […]
I have been wanting to write about last weekend, but I needed a week of sleep to recover from it to be able to write about it. Here is just a quick recap of last Saturday… The only thing Sean wanted for Christmas was tickets to see Dropkick Murphy’s. Atlanta was just one of the […]
Today is March Fourth. The only day of the year that is a command…to March Forth. For many people this is just another day…but not for the McNally clan. This is a holiday to be celebrated with exuberance! Years and years ago, this family celebration holiday was created by my mother-in-law (though we say mother-in-love) […]
Only ten short weeks ago, I met some new friends that had recently moved to Tybee. Kelly and Eric started talking to me one night when Sean was playing at the Sandbar. Kelly had been following pictures I shared on Instagram in the months prior to our meeting. She too is a nature photographer and […]
