As we emerged into 2023, the world started was starting to feel somewhat normal. After 3 year of relative social isolation, the idea of travel started to feel like a viable option. We started the year with a dive trip to what most would acknowledge as the shore diving capital of the world, Bonaire. This was follow by our first trip to a local distillery, Woodford Reserve.

We finished the year with a Christmas trip to Costa Rica. Coming in at a relatively light 3600 images for the year, this collection represent the top 1.4% for 2023
