Goin Home......

Stan and I will be saying "goodbye" to Singapore for 3 weeks. We are goin home for a much-anticipated holiday. Carson is graduating from Malvern High School on Saturday, so we have celebrations to attend! We are also going to spend a week in Costa Rica while home, and plan to scope out retirement locations.....more on that later. My next blog will be from the good 'ol U.S.A.!

Biking, Birds, Beasts, and Bouquets....

Biking through the jungle at Pulau Ubin.
Pink Flamingos at the Jurong Bird park

Orangutans hangin' out at the Singapore Zoo


And of course, banks of beautiful orchids at the Singapore Botanic Gardens.


We have so enjoyed our time with Scott and Kathy! As you can see, the Singapore Grand Tour is always modified to fit the attendees. We had to say good bye last night, but there are already plans for a "part 2". We hope to stay in this part of the world for awhile longer, so get your name on the list!

Thailand with Scott and Kathy

Mornings would find us lounging on the beach, sipping a cool one under a big umbrella.
Afternoons.....a cool one at the local pub.

So as not to give the impression we are totally worthless, lazy, pub-crawling bums.....we did rent motorcycles and zip around the island.....here is a beautiful waterfall we discovered.


A typical street in Koh Samui....note the hard-working local on the left!



Evel Knievel and biker chick!




Day 4 of construction...

As you can see, it is really starting to look like a nest! I have to take the pictures before the sun comes up, because my friend starts his workday at first light.
