I walked into the room and there it was staring back at me, frozen in place next to my suitcase. I stopped abruptly, sighed and looked carefully at its shiny black body and spindly legs. The one light bulb in the room seemed to make the big cockroach’s body shimmer even more in ickiness. I [...]

Unawatuna Sri Lanka. It Could be Paradise
Blog: Canada's Adventure Couple - 27 February 2010
The one thing that I don't love about Sri Lanka's beaches is the fact that they are so close to the Highway. That was something that we found to be refreshing change in Unawatuna. Unawatuna is a beach located right on the southern tip of Sri Lanka and it used to be the place to go. The highway bypasses this area and travelers can walk on quiet streets checking out shops and vendors and eating in cafés without inhaling fumes. Dave put it perfectly however. If Unawatuna had Hikkaduwa's beaches it would be perfect. If Hikkaduwa had Unawatuna's roads, it would be perfect.

Sri Lanka Engagement Surprise in Unawatuna
Blog: Todd's Wanderings - 29 March 2009
After almost 2 1/2 years I decided it was time to propose to Kay. As many who are following my wanderings are aware, I had been stuck in the United States for about 3 months as I waited for my work visa to be approved. During this time I began planning the proposal for March and relying on friends to help sort out the details as I sat halfway around the world. Kay had no idea what was being planned behind her back. Once I returned I insisted that we go away for a weekend of scuba diving and relaxing on Unawatuna Beach.
