While on a guided tour of the Vietnamese mountain town, Dalat, Rob and I were presented with a number of interesting foods to try. Some of them we willingly did, some took encouraging, and some were a hells no. Crickets - Part of our tour took us through a cricket...
Tall Tales Tuesday: The Joys and Woes of Sleeper Busses
The "sleeper bus", as expats affectionately call it, is a common way to travel around Southeast Asia, and Vietnam especially. Rob and I took a few of these busses during our travels around Ho Chi Minh City. Aside from my crippling anxiety before boarding for one in...
Off to Ireland!
Rob and I are packing our bags as we speak! (Actually, Rob is playing golf and I am blogging, but we do still need to pack.) Nothing like waiting until the last minute, right? There is something special about celebrating our honeymoon a little bit after our wedding...

Tall Tales Tuesday: Market Scenes
A month or so ago, I shared a video of two Korean women enjoying a working lunch at the fish market, but I have yet to share with you scenes from the Vietnamese markets. Before arriving in Vietnam, Rob and I had no idea what our food shopping situation would be. I...

Two Terrible Flights
Phew! Rob and I are back home in Denver after about a week in New York for my sister's bridal shower and to see my parents' new house. Though the time we spent in NY was a ton of fun, the whole getting there and getting back to Colorado was not fun at all. On our way...
November Project Denver
Hello from New York! It took Rob and I about 29 hours to get from Denver to NY due to a cancelled flight from Chicago to NY. We spent a very uncomfortable night in the airport, but are finally here! Let's rewind a little to Wednesday morning. Rob and I got up bright...
Hiking and Pizza and Paddle Boarding, Oh My!
The past few days have basically been the epitome of summer: trying new things, soaking up the sun, and just getting out of the house for as long as possible. Rob's friend left yesterday, but we made sure to jam pack his last few days. In fact, he has visions of...
Tall Tales Tuesday: The Deliciousness of Seoul
One of the questions Rob and I get quite often when someone first finds out that we spent a year in Vietnam is, How was the food? Now, Rob and I realize we are in the minority when we say that the food was just not our thing. There were a few dishes that we enjoyed...
