April Trip Continued

Image
Continued... We got in around 1:30 am after a really cool boat ride from the airport to this little island. Our room is a "villa", basically a big square where the front part is the bedroom, and the back part is the bathroom, which is really big....and almost half of it is an outside area with a shower and tub and some plants (HOW ROMANTIC) Breakfast is served by the swimming pool and from the far side you can see the ocean. I think I'm going to fake my death when I get home and just come live here....haven't worked out the details yet but we're here for a few more days so I'm sure it will come together.   One of the common areas (pool not pictured, but it's there)    The pool by the spa, Glen is swimming in the distance, looking at me longingly. Below: sunrise   MORE TO COME!  Day 3  After some consideration, I've come to the conclusion that it would make much more sense to somehow fake my death here (otherwise ...

April Trip

Image
Hullo readers! It's been quite some time since I've posted ....   But I'm back, and I'm here to share our April trip as we go! 8.59 am  Last night we arrived in Singapore-we are stopping here on the way to our final destination: The Maldives! We got in, and went to the rooftop for the cool views of the city (and for a DRANK), this is my first time here, but Glen has been a couple times before, although it was for when he was getting his masters so I'm sure his trips were a little less fun, even if they were longer, because he wasn't here with me (poor guy). Here are a couple of photos from last night:     This morning, we went and had some brekky and coffee - we have lunch plans, and also found out they do high tea here at the hotel, so we are definitely going to do that! We are staying at the Fullerton hotel, which is lovely, and before it became a hotel, was the post office. One of you lucky readers will be getting this postcard in the mail:  (how exciting) Ol...

Santiago with Charlene

Image
I somehow convinced Charlene to come to Santiago to meet us for a visit! Maybe she didn't actually need too much convincing...anyway, we had a lovely time exploring the city: museums, ice cream, parks and old castles!  On the way! Probably our last trip to Santiago for a while!!  Republica Independiente del pisco! Charlene!!!!  The above is the Santa Lucia hill, there's an old looking castle up on the top of the hill.  View from the castle on top of the hill!  And another on the way back down.  The museums were interesting...First up: The Museo Nacional Bellas Artes - the exhibit on masculinity was maybe not our thing...but the architecture was really cool and there was a really lovely installation in the front area. As well as the bust of a perturbed David:  Bellas Artes is connected to the modern art museum, which we also liked:  (I know the photos are terrible, but I didn't want to bring the camera everywhere, it's heavy!!) Did I forget to ment...

Spring Trip 2016

Image
Part 1: Florida Visit: We got into Tampa the morning of Passover. We drove from Tampa to Sarasota and had lunch there at a restaurant with outdoor space overlooking the water. We had fish sandwiches and something else I can't remember, delish! Driving to Sarasota - Glen rented a convertible - he's clutch Sarasota lunch spot! The next day, Glen was busy working, and I was busy making key lime pie for the Night to Be --- for blog readers not from FL, if you don't know what key lime pie is, I will make some for you next time we see each other, it is probably my very favorite dessert EVERRRrrr!  The Sinon's had us all over to their place  The Night to be Much Observed, hosted by the Sinons Me, Danielle, and Reggie - photo cred to Charlene, over-edits by me ;) Great night, should've taken more photos! Next up (well, next up that I have pictures of!) - What's a trip to Tarpon Springs without a stop-in at Capt'n Jack's? ...
