St Regis Bahia Beach Resort [Video]

July 14, 2012 by Leave a Comment

So I finally shot my first video with the GoPro HD and I gotta say, it’s way better than I expected.

In this video Rachel gives you a “Cribs” style tour of our suite. After that you’ll go for a walk through the Plantation House and to the pool. Have fun 😉

Some of the highlights to the room were:

  • The massive shower
  • TV in the bathroom mirror
  • Remote control lights and a/c
  • Blue Ray PLayer
  • Semi-private porch

The St Regis Bahia Beach is definitely a nice place to stay, even if the staff was a little clumsy. Next time I’d want a room with a view of the ocean.

Got the GoPro Hero HD to film our next adventure

July 14, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Whenever we’re planning our adventures the first thing I think of is how I’m gonna capture it to share with you. After years of using a Kodak Zi8 I finally decided to upgrade to something waterproof with a wide angle lens – the most obvious choice was the GoPro HD Hero.

It’s got lots of great reviews on Amazon so it was a no brainer for me.

Quick Tip: If you’re planning on using your GoPro Hero for underwater shots you should by the dive housing for about $80

Reading the reviews I realized the GoPro Hero‘s case has a curved lens which distorts images underwater so I opted for the GoPro Hero 1 which saved me enough money to buy the dive case and still stay under $350 for everything.

The only thing I haven’t figured out yet is the sound – the recordings look great (you’ll see them in our next puerto rico adventure to La Concha and St Regis Bahai Beach Resort) – but there’s no sound. Oh well, fuss it’s good that I make music videos then, huh?

Yip, that’s the GoPro HD Hero strapped to my head.

Cedar Key Airboat Adventure [Video]

April 24, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Two things you gotta do when you’re in Cedar Key, Florida.

First: You gotta fish
Second: You gotta ride an airboat

We combined both on this fun little video from New Year weekend.

Las Vegas Segue tour [Video]

April 24, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Like the huge nerds that we are,

Rachel and I decided to take a night time tour of the Las Vegas strip on segues.

Needless to say we got made fun of for our helmets and got called some very bad names by the drunks we were herding out of the way with our “robot chariots.”

Anyways, I didn’t catch any of that stuff on this video.

But I did manage to get some cool sites along the way.

Ziplining near the Arenal Volcano [Video]

April 24, 2012 by Leave a Comment

What a lucky break,

I got a chance to go down to Costa Rica on some business and I grabbed Rachel a ticket so we could have a fun little adventure.

Not only did we get to stagy in two beautiful resorts, but we also got to take this zip lining adventure overlooking the Arenal Volcano 1,800 feet high in the rainforest canopy.

(yeah, it was fairly Bad Ass!)
