It's near midnight and I'm huddled with 15 strangers on a beach holding a tarp over our heads to stay out of the rain. Our guide points to a spot a few metres away and we throw off the tarp, hurrying closer. Suddenly no one cares they're getting drenched. This is Galibi Nature Reserve, one of only a handful of endangered sea turtle nesting sites worldwide. It's located in the former Dutch colony of Suriname, on South America's northeast coast. I've spent five months working as a volunteer with HIV/AIDS youth groups in the capital city, Paramaribo, and before I leave, my Surinamese friends tell me I must see Galibi. The place is a national treasure -- even people who've never been there extol its white sandy beaches and mammoth turtles in reverential tones.
Esteli is about four hours north of Managua along the Pan-American Highway and, with an elevation of 856 metres, is cooler than the southerly flatlands. The shops are packed with rows of leather goods -- cowboy boots, saddles, belts: this is cattle territory. It's also prime tobacco-growing land and the local artist community is also well-represented with rows of pottery for sale. The noisy Pan-American Highway slashes through the east side of town; Esteli is the last major town before the Honduran border. After several days in Esteli, I wanted to get out and see the countryside. My destination was the Miraflor Nature Reserve. Administered by Union de Cooperativas Agropecuarias de Miraflor, the reserve is a privately owned and communally managed swath of farms spread over 206 sq. km in...

They join an impressive list of past Skal International Ecotourism Award winners including Fiji's Aqua-Trek Shark Conservation program, South Africa's Ocean Blue Adventures, and Mongolia's Gun-Galuut Nature Reserve. To find out more about their canoe adventure options go to www.northernsoul.ca. We are going on a trip to Italy in late June. Does it make sense to book the Toronto to Rome portion separately from the Winnipeg to Toronto leg? I'm thinking that the price for the Toronto to Rome leg is unlikely to fall, but seat sales for the Winnipeg to Toronto leg are likely to come later on from one of the airlines. If we fly both legs on the same airline, but book them at different times, will the airline see them as different trips if the flight is delayed? The best deal you will ge...

Then it was 'boom!' It was like a bomb went off right there near our tent," [Kim McNairn] said. "It was light everywhere, noise, a crack. It was the loudest thing I had ever heard. McNairn, 32, and [Les Perreaux], 37, two Saskatchewan-born journalists, survived their recent brush with nature in Quebec's La Verendrye nature reserve without a scratch. But, says, McNairn, it is "so humbling to be brushed by a force of nature like that. You really have to respect it." "I remember distinctly screaming and hyperventilating. And thinking, 'I'm a young woman, I have a wonderful relationship and an amazing life. It can't be over.'"
