Our good friends suggested we visited the beach for a weekend. Since we didn’t have any plans and we are always ready to travel, we packed up our beach gear and headed to the city of Pelabuhan Ratu in West Java. This beach is well known among Indonesians for being a great surfing spot and … Continue reading
I’ve always loved traveling. I think I got bit by the travel bug early in my childhood when we visited Disney World for my 6th birthday. Ever since then I kept asking my parents where we would be going next and I secretly hoped it was a far away land like those I read about … Continue reading
I had honestly never been too excited to visit Singapore. We had had the opportunity to “move” there temporarily to give birth to Joshua but decided against it and went to the US instead. In my mind, post-partum depression, plus newborn, plus Christmas in a new place where I didn’t know anyone was not a … Continue reading

Don’t believe it when they tell you there’s nothing to do in Surabaya. There’s at least four, yes, FOUR things to do in Surabaya with the kids other than the malls. I know, it doesn’t sound like much but at least despite our 2 week-long trip we managed to entertain the boys and I didn’t … Continue reading
Getting There I can’t complain of my first experience flying alone with the two kids. Although it was a very short flight I was a little bit concerned on how they, or rather I, would deal with it. We flew Garuda Indonesia since we’ve had several bad experiences with Air Asia Indonesia. The service … Continue reading
