Two traveling souls off to our next adventure
On Scott’s birthday we headed to Malaysia, where half of my family lives. I feel a little bad because we spent most of the day traveling from Hanoi to Kuala Lumpur, with a long layover before heading to Penang. So not the most glamorous birthday for Scott, but we made up for it by eating…
It seemed that Hanoi and Hoi An were definitely our top places in Vietnam. Both cities had a different more eclectic vibe and we were able to find some of our favorite things within each city much easier than in Da Nang or Saigon. As we do in most places, we find what we like…
Hello! Sorry we have been absent for almost a month. I realize now that it has sparked some concern as I've been hearing from family and friends wondering where we are. Also with rising crisis overseas, and some natural disasters in places we were supposed to be in (Philippines and Australia) I now know I…
Somewhere in the middle of the country of Vietnam resides two coastal towns, Da Nang and Hoi An, just 30 minutes or so away from each other. We spent a week at each place taking it what we could of the Vietnamese coastline. I've combined the two posts because to our surprise there wasn't much…
Getting into Vietnam was a bit of a struggle. In order to have entrance to the country, you must have your Visa filed online before landing. Then you go through another set of paperwork with passport pictures that gets verified with the government and a Visa sticker is place in your passport. After you pay…
As the holiday season starts to take over, we are finding ourselves slowing down, staying places for longer periods of time (and forgetting to post to the blog). We've been busy. Okay, scratch that, I've been studying, and Scott has been "busy" watching football and a new show on Netflix. It has felt good to…
From the Maldives we flew into Bangkok, Thailand enroute to Phuket. We were a bit exhausted being on the move every day for the last four nights but being in Thailand was the perfect change of pace. Our intention was to spend one night in Bangkok (in an air bnb within walking distance to the…
***We've (Hali) gotten a bit behind on posting! Been enjoying the last two weeks too much! Sorry for the delay*** We arrived pretty late into the Male from Sri Lanka, but our flight was earlier inbound then expected. As soon as we arrived, we had to go to the local Sim card office at the…
We spent the most time in Matara out of all the cities in Sri Lanka, but our time there seemed to fly by. After the struggle of getting our driver to the accommodation, he tried to get us to pay more than the agreed upon price. His claim was that our place was outside of…
Our journey to Tangalle started off early, too early for my liking. Scott scheduled a driver to come pick us up at 2am so that we would get to Yala National Park in time for our morning safari. We orginally arranged for a 4am pickup, but we found out because of the heavy rains there…
