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

A Week in Snapshots: ❊18/06/12-24/06/12❊
A day late, but here nonetheless. We had a wonderful week and an even more wonderful weekend as we saw some dear friends, did some playground exploring and ended the week by spending a couple of days at the beach. Josh has gotten his first tooth and Evan is becoming sillier and funnier by the … Continue reading
Meaningful Travel: 7 Lessons my Toddler has Taught me in his 2½ Years of Travel
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
A Beach Baby in Phuket
We visited Phuket with Evan was 5 months old. My sister was in town so we had the perfect excuse to pack our stuff, diapers, bottles, and all and head to the paradisaical beaches in the south of Thailand. This was our first time flying by plane with out little Evan so I was very … Continue reading

Singapore: Getting There, Staying There, Eating There
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
Sightseeing Singapore with Kids
We’ve come to the conclusion that the easiest and most effective way to sightsee with the kids are tour buses. Sure, they are a bit more expensive than riding public transportation (where available), but they are the easiest and most-tourist friendly modes of transportation we’ve found. We certainly appreciate the fact that the drivers are … Continue reading

Wow, we are halfway thru 2012 and time has really flown by! We’ve definitely had our share of adventures and misadventures and we are so thankful to God for everything. Joshua is turning 6 months next week and Evan has become a remarkable big brother. I don’t have so many pictures from this week, or … Continue reading
Bangkok with Kids
I realize it’s not fair for me to say we vacationed in Bangkok as we lived there for almost two years. Evan was born there and it took us a while to get to see all the places I’m about to tell you about. However, I do think it’s possible to see all them if … Continue reading
A Week in Snapshots: ❊07/05/12-13/05/12❊
As you saw from the post I made last week, we spent it on holiday in Puncak. A beautiful little piece of mountain paradise a couple of hours from Jakarta. We really enjoyed relaxing and spending time with the kids and specially appreciated the fresh air and cooler temperatures. As soon as we came back … Continue reading
