Everything in Indonesia was absolutely gorgeous, completely and utterly lovely, crazy beautiful, spectacular, delightful, charming, ravishing…. (you get the point)….but the single thing that amazed me morning, day and night??? The skies, Wowzer. The prettiest I’ve ever seen. If only I could have packed a sky or two into my suitcase like I did the pineapples, avocados, mangos, bananas,… but the sky wouldn’t fit… it was too big.. I tried, I swear I did. I jumped and jumped; yelled and screamed; spun on my head while doing the rain dance… but alas! the suitcase just wouldn’t zip. So I had to take it out. Next time, I guess I’ll just have to bring a bigger suitcase.

Well you will be sad to know that I’m back from three weeks of traipsing around Indonesia with Mandy in their chilly 80 degree winter weather :) There are many warm tropical pictures to share very, very soon, but first a few pictures of cold, snowy Korea that greeted me this past week… Somehow snow [...]

Well….I hypothesize that it is so we can now freeze to the bone and have fun doing….all in one lovely same breath :) Basically, it’s just a [...]

Well…. In the spirit of Father Christmas, afternoon naps, Starbucks coffee and proving my dear friend Elizabeth Lauer wrong, I blogged tonight. Lauer, I won and you’re it! Ok….Hugs and Kisses to everyone from Asialand and remember coffee isn’t just a beverage, it’s a life source.

It’s winter, and I had a wonderful idea a few weeks back! I thought if I acted like I were a bear and went into a hole to hibernate by the time I came out, I would not only get a nice layer of subcutaneous fat, but winter would be over. And, and then I [...]

It’s November in Korea and the rest of the world (at least that’s what the liberals on the news tell me), but the winter has already set in, in Korea. There is no fall nor autumn to ease my sun-loving self into winter. Korean winter does not mess around. no siree! It’s warm one day [...]

I think I should win a prize for the amount of times that I have said sorry for my negligence to update my family on my where abouts in the world. My prize? Well I have many, many brilliant prize ideas like… free watermelon, dark chocolate, cold hard cash.. any takers?
