Summer 2013


Reverse... let's go back in time! We had our first summer holiday as international teachers and we didn't even blog about it. Here's a quick recap...

We went "home" to California for 3 weeks right when school got out. We got to spend time with our amazing family and friends and our sweet Belly dog. We camped, hiked, ate, and enjoyed the wonderfulness that is Northern California. However, it didn't take long before we were back on a plane and headed back to Asia. We spend 18 hours in Macau, sleeping and repacking before heading out again. We traveled for tree days through three countries to get our destination of Sulawesi, Indonesia. It was the dive vacation we had always dreamed. Absolutely incredible. We saw so many diverse creatures that we actually got tired of seeing "another sea turtle" on our dives! How spoiled! After 12 days there, we headed to Bangkok to meet some friends for a few days. We were suppose to then go to Cambodia, but we were tired after all the traveling, so we hopped on one more flight to Koh Tao and Koh Samui, the Hawaiian islands of Thailand. We relaxed for another week or so before heading back to Macau. So there it is, our summer 2013!
