Here are a few frm our travels since Spring if that can be slid in there.

Bohol, Philippines was a really neat trip this year. I love the diving in the Philippines and I got to check off a site I have had my eye on for a while, Balicasag. So many turtles, healthy corals and fish. Even saw a shark sleeping. If you like less touristy countries at a great price point, Philippines is a great spot to land. For the rest of the year, we are going to Lombok, Indonesia and possibly to Siquijor, Phillippines if turnarounds go as planned.



Tarsier Sanctuary was kinda fun to see for an hour to kill. They are so small and would fit in the palm of your hand.


Chocolate Hills (We were there in the rainy season so they are green, but later in year they turn brown, hence the name)


There is no shortage of natural pools to swim in on the island. Sure is nice to cool off after riding around on scooters all day.



Balicasag Island




Oceanica Resort. For $25 you get a breakfast buffet, sun beds, towels and other beach stuff for the day.



We also spent some time at our place in Koh Samui, Thailand. Always a great time to see our friends and just unwind. We plan on semi-retiring here eventually or sell this place and go somewhere that is not as developed. Samui is getting so expensive by Thailand standards.

Bangkok at night.

Thai food is our second favorite food behind Vietnamese food.

This is our last meal ritual. It is at a Michelin restaurant called Thai Niyom Cuisine. I get the ribeye with green curry Thai hot and my girlfriend gets the Masaman chicken. We eat this every night before we depart and have for the years we have gone to Thailand. Our bill for 2 drinks, appetizer, 2 main dishes is around $50USD.



Fresh stone crab with yellow curry cooked in a wok with ginger and garlic and Thai chilis. $15USD One of my favorite meals in Samui since it is across the street from our favorite live band bar.



Lamai night market is a good time for live music, drinks and street food. This entire ensemble is $7USD.

If yall are gonna post photos, at least give some color as to where they were taken.

Maybe not as far as some, but we took a quick drive to the Durango/Ouray area.

Hiking, swimming, sleeping, etc.
Did our best to keep them away from screens and wild fire.

We love the area; this was our 8th summer up there.

Northern Italy: Milan, Cinque Terre, Siena, Pienza, Montepulciano, Florence, Bologna, and Modena.
