Passport issues meant we had to find a vacation in the US, so we decided to spend five days in Puerto Rico. Here is the map of possible options for our trip, but we ended up spending most of our time in Old San Juan. We also did a day trip to El Yunque National Forest and spent a couple of nights in Condando Beach. And then we got stuck in Philadelphia for two nights on the way back. (don't fly American Airlines)

Cathy and I head to Iceland for 10 days and drive the Ring Road, which goes around the entire island. This was definitely a life list trip and one of our favorites. I created a custom map here with all of our destinations, along with a bunch we weren't able to get to.

LA to Cleveland

Charlie needed protest footage for a film so he thought the RNC would be a good opportunity. So we took a road trip to Cleveland. We covered 5700 miles and 17 states along the way. I also managed to lose one of my memory cards so a good chunk of my photos were sadly lost (mainly of Utah and Ohio, including the RNC stuff in Cleveland).
