The sun rises from the other side of the mountain behind us. Watching the sunrise is a little different here than it is on Tybee. The eastern clouds change colors from grey to pink to white as the sun casts its powerful rays over the mountain top and across the ocean white caps. This process […]
We knew it was a crazy idea, but we decided what the heck, we’ll make it work. I had several jobs come in before I had to pack my bags, therefore I was at my computer editing photos and replying to emails for three days straight. I had one last wedding at sunset on Wednesday […]
Anyone who knows the McNally’s knows that we love to travel, and we love to travel to Costa Rica…and we love to travel to Costa Rica as cheap as we can! Airbnb and Spirit airlines has made that even more possible for us for our upcoming trip later this month. Our last two trips there were […]
Visiting Costa Rica always changes my perspective on many day to day things when I return to the States and our life here. A while ago I wrote a blog post titled “Walking Around the World in Flip Flops” in that post I referred back to one of our first visits to Costa Rica about […]
Wednesday morning arrived and it was time to pack up our little black backpacks, climb down from our treehouse with the oceanview, and begin our 2,000 mile journey home. Speaking of those little back packs…I still could have left half of what I brought at home. Life is so simple and carefree here, not much […]

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 […]
Do what you love to do and stop doing what you don’t like to do. This is what I have done with my life. Sure there are things I still have to do that I don’t like to do, but I have definitely decreased the amount of time I spend doing them. #1 Massive amounts […]
