Afognak Island Hunting Day 4

Our fourth full day of hunting was moderately successful, with Paul and myself (Matt) each getting a doe. Paul’s was actually a button buck. This may be our last day of hunting, depending on the weather and the float plane schedule. Stay posted!

Afognak Island Deer and Bear Hunting: Day 3

Day three of Afognak Island turned out some positive results, with several deer down! Paul still hasn’t gotten a Kodiak bear, nor have we seen anyway. Tom tagged out, with three doe, Kit celebrated turning 18 by bagging his first blacktail deer, and Markel managed to take down a buck. I managed to take down […]

Afognak Island Deer and Bear Hunting:Day 2

Day Two was a bust, no deer, no bears, but Paul did bag three ducks. I managed to scare a fox off by shooting at it nine times with a Glock (not on video, sorry). It was terrible windy today, but at least there was no rain.

Afognak Island Deer Hunting: Day 1

Currently we are deer and bear hunting (Paul has a Kodiak bear tag) on Afognak Island, I am updating with my Starlink system. This is Day 1, and also the day before when we traveled to Kodiak and then to Afognak. I am using the 45-70 rifle that we are giving away at the end […]

Venice, Italy: Nov 14-19, I (Matt) drive a Ferrari at 130+ mph

Our last stop in Italy, and then we head home! While in this part of Italy, I rented a Ferrari and managed to hit over 130 mph with it, on a racetrack, of course. Marlene and I also take a gondola ride through the canals of Venice. It is the conclusion to an exciting, and…...

Almafi Coast, Italy Oct 13 and 14.

We took a quick trip down to the Almafi Coast of Italy, just to see it. It is rather famous, but also a bit pricey so we didn’t stay long. Our house was $1,000 for one night, which was several thousand cheaper than the motel nearby! We stayed in nicer accommodations (other places) for much,…...

Normandy Beach (D-Day), France Oct 3-5

We stayed in Normandy for two days, and hired a taxi to take us to the Omaha beach, which was almost a two hour drive away. Originally I thought Normandy Beach was right beside Omaha Beach and all the associated landing sites. We toured the D-Day sites and were reminded how terrible and somber D-Day…...

Ascending 1,000 feet to the top of the Eiffel Tower

The elevator ride up was actually a hair frightening, as you can tell by the language that I have removed from the video. This was the result of other people in the elevator, not our group. See all the videos and slides of Paris here.

The Eiffel Tower, France Oct 1-3

The Eiffel Tower was our highlight in Paris. In fact, I wouldn’t go to Paris for any other reason. Standing at over 1,000 feet tall, and built in the 1880’s, it was an amazing feat for it’s time, and is still impressive today…. This content is for subscribers only.RegisterAlready a member?

The Titanic Museum, Belfast, Ireland, Oct 1

The Titanic was built in Belfast, and they apparently were pretty upset when a Scottish captain sank it only a few days into it’s first voyage. The museum was interesting and built right in front of the actual construction spot of the Titanic, the museum is the same height and width as the center of…...
