Trip to Nicaragua was incredible,diving ship wreck and other sites off Big Corn island out in Caribbean ,climbing Madera Volcano on Ometepe Island in Lake Nicaragua where I developed tremendous knee pain and swelling on descent. Dang I thought I tore meniscus that cancelled my plans to surf San Juan Del Sur.(ened up being arthitus not tear,no surgery needed). Later hiked up Cero Negro volcano to volcano surf and checked out Masaya Volcano (active).
I am returning to Central America in Feb. to continue exploration and experiences including other volcanos
Ah,retirement is nice. Thank ya'll

Good to hear you're enjoying retirement, Craig!

I was just at Ometepe Island last spring, loved that area and plan to go back again in the very near future. Mainly hung out on the west/south side of the island, would like to see more of the east side.

Congrats on keeping it off. Care to elaborate on the nutritional aspects? Few eat ideally, but I gather it's more critical post-band. How's the stamina coming along?
