Whoopsie!   How is that the month of October just flew right past me and I *still* haven't finished up the posts to Cambodia????   It's now NOVEMBER!  How did it get to be November already???????  Shoot me now!  I've got too much to do and not enough time to get it all done.  Okay.…

4 October 2013- Good morning!  How did you sleep last night???  The beds are a bit hard and my back is reminding me of that fact.  (sigh.  Small price to pay considering the beautiful location.) Let's head up to the top floor for some breakfast.  Sounds good, right? View from the top floor:  Today we've…

3 October 2013- It's time to chill out in our hotel room for a few minutes before heading out to our cooking class:  Our room on the first floor …. I'd recommend getting a room on either the second or third floor of this hotel so that you can have a covered walk-way to your…

2 October 2013- I'm not sure how our driver managed to stay awake for that entire drive from Sihanoukville to Siem Reap but I'm sure glad he did!  All in all it was a smooth ride….with the one exception of watching a large truck nearly plow into a bus (just missed us by inches!).  Eep!!!…

September 29- October 2, 2013- In China the first week in October is a national holiday (I've heard it called Golden Week).  And as you've no doubt figured out by now – we took this week as an opportunity to visit yet one more place on our Asian Bucket List (I really should post my…

September 21 & 22, 2013- So…here's the deal.   Mark finished up his PADI Open Water Scuba Diving certification while we were in Cebu (that was early June).  The girls both tried out scuba diving at the Shangri-La resort we stayed at in Cebu and they both LOVED it.   Now, I've said all along…

September 17, 2013- Today is the day I've been dreading for the past few months….. The day one of my nearest and dearest friends returns to her home country, South Africa.   Debbie is a sweet angel.  She's been a confidant, a friend, and a wonderful mentor.  She's shown me how to open your heart…

August 16, 2013- Okay…so this happened a little more than a month ago but HEY!  At least I'm getting around to posting photos now!  (right????) Anyhoo….Ava lost Tooth #2!!!!!   She doesn't look excited, does she????     There's that pesky tooth! Soooo….I can't remember.  Does the Tooth Fairy pay a visit to children living…

September 17, 2013- My sweet friend Debbie took these photos at the newly opened Harley Davidson dealership in Tianjin.   Enjoy…. Are you serious?????? Does this *really* need to be demonstrated??????   Uh huh.  I don't even want to know WHY they have these diagrams hanging up!!!!!  (and no, I haven't seen these in person…

September 15, 2013- Is it possible that we've been home (meaning China) for over a month and I've only managed to write one blog post during that time? How can that be???!? Soooo…you might be thinking to yourself that perhaps I haven't posted anything because nothing has been happening and that we're bored, bored, bored.…
