I am so tragically behind on this blog that it's embarrassing, but I refuse to give up, so onward! [Warning: this is a LONG one...] After a lovely 4 weeks of family and friends, it was time to get back on the road - we couldn't forget Latin America! We didn't plan this leg of …

Tanzanian Safari-ing + Zanzibari Lazy-ing
As usual, I'm about half a century behind on blogging...my bad. Here we go again: Days 223-238: After wrapping up in Kenya, we spent just over two weeks in Tanzania, with 6 of those days (5 nights) spent on safari and the remainder spent appreciating the glorious heat, humidity, and clear waters of Zanzibar. (Fun …
Photo Post – Tantalizing Tanzania
Long post ahead. Safari in Tanzania was as amazing as in Kenya, but we spent even more time on game drives, so, of course, I took way too many pictures. Enjoy!
Maldives – aka Heaven part 2
Our final planned stop for Asia was the Maldives because - DUH - what better place to end 3+ months in Asia? Days 192-193: But first, a ~24 hour layover in Kuala Lumpur (KL) Now that we were finally in a big city again, we took the opportunity to enjoy some good old mall shopping. …
Bali, Bali, Bo-Bali
Greece was lovely, but I was ready to head back to the tropics. Though a bit illogical to head all the way back to Asia, I was determined to make it to Bali on this trip and we found a way to make it work post-Christmas with some flight finagling. In retrospect, I should have …
Photo Post – Majestic Maldives
Catching up without consistent wi-fi to upload my photos is hard! But here's a short post from the Maldives. We were here for only for 5 days, and we really didn't do much other than enjoy the beach, but it makes for nice photos nonetheless. Enjoy!
Philippines, part 2
Here’s the second half of our Filipino adventures: Day 141, continued: Electricity is overrated? Once I had my pants back, I was a much happier woman. My stress (and anger) levels were reduced enough that I could happily take a nap on the ferry ride back to Cebu with the assistance of my wonderful travel …
Philippines, part 1
Clearly I'm struggling to stay on the blogging bandwagon (#fail) but here's some more catch-up... Day 131: Doritos for first dinner This day was mostly lost to travel, so there's not much to say, BUT I would like to report that the Manila airport is a tragedy, or at least the domestic terminal is. Our …
Photo Post – Pleasing Philippines
Happy New Year! Catching up with my posts after the holidays, here are the Philippines. Or at least the two islands we visited for most of our stay: Bohol and Palawan.
Vietnam – aka rain, rain, go away
The catch-up continues... Day 117: Another day lost to travel, another crap hotel We left Phuket in the mid-afternoon and had a layover in Bangkok on the way to Hanoi, so most of this day was pretty uneventful. We arrived late in the evening and then spent way too much time figuring out the visa …
