A change in plans

Tina — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 15:15:06 +0000

For those of you who don’t know, we have had a small change in plans. Sebastien’s rash and bumps came back after we left Vietnam. We had gone back to Thailand and initially things got better. However, after going from Chiang Mai (north) back to the islands (south) the rash and bumps returned. Now we decided it was best to change our flights around so that Sebastien could be seen by a doctor.

Within two days of deciding to head home, we were on a plan back to the states. Sebastien stopped in LA long enough to buy an IPAD and then continued on to France. I stayed in LA to visit with Alison and Aaron. Sebastien was seen by a doctor the day he landed and was told the same thing that the doctor in Saigon said. Which is good news and a relief that it wasn’t something more serious.

It is somewhat surreal to be back. I feel like our trip ended so abruptly that I didn’t really have time to say “good-bye”. However, we were both ready to be home.

On May 10th I will be flying to France and then on the 12th heading to Greece to meet my friend Karina. I will return to France on the 18th and spend the rest of my time meeting Sebastien’s family. We will then return to the states on June 10th.

Now that I have sometime and consistent internet I will fill you in on the rest of our adventures. Stay tuned.

A Few Pictures From Halong Bay

I’m sure Tina will write a proper post about our experience in Halong Bay so I won’t tell anything about it. I just want to share a few pix I took with my iPhone.

This is snake alcohol. A cobra was inserted in a jar of unknown alcohol.

Picture taken from the boat. A beautiful sight.

I can’t remember the name of this cave but it was beautiful.

Tina enjoying the boat life.

If you need us we will be on Ko Lanta enjoying life.

Beautiful Sunset On Nusa Dua, Bali

After a one-hour massage (one of the best I ever had), we get to witness this amazing sunset in Nusa Dua.

We’re so blessed and grateful to be here

One Week till Take Off

Today is October 27, 2009. It is Carina Espinoza’s birthday and we tried to meet up to surf today but there were no waves and it was really windy! So, I returned home and started packing. There are boxes everywhere and everything is dirty and unorganized. The BigBox storage units are here and I am eager to begin our adventure.

We had a yard sale this past weekend. We really needed to sell the motorcycle and the California King bed and a ton of other stuff. We did pretty good on the little stuff but didn’t sell the bike or the bed. I think that we are going to take the bed to Good Will. Here are some pictures of the festivities.

A few more days till we leave for Arizona to drop off my car. November 3rd we will be on our way to Brisbane, Australia.
