Phuket, Thailand August 2021 (Part 2)

With that, after day 7 (well it’s either 6 nights or 7 nights I really can’t remember) it was time to head south and stay at hotel #2. Part of the Phuket Sandbox was the requirement to stay in a hotel for at least 6/7 days – this is to keep you from spreading covid…

Phuket, Thailand August 2021 (Part 1)

If you look back at my previous posts you’ll see a trend, and that’s that I always say the same thing – “Oh I really need to update this more!!” Well here I am saying that again. It’s been over 6 months since we took this trip and I’m just now taking the time to…

Jeju Again! February 2021

For my birthday we went to Jeju (again) but this time just the two of us! We started out back at home with a birthday dinner, at a pick-your-own crab restaurant. The best part is they do all the work for you! All the legs are pre-cut so taking the meat out is easy-peasy! Only…

Jeju, Korea! November 2020

Been awhile since I updated! In November we went on a trip with Summer’s parents to Jeju as a way to thank them for letting us stay at their house during quarantine when we first moved to Korea. So… off to drop Waffle off at the doggy hotel! We flew out of Gimpo, which is…

September and October 2020, South Korea

The end of August and beginning of September brought three consecutive Typhoons, all within 14 days of each other. While it wasn’t too bad with not too much damage, overall this year’s monsoon season brought 59 consecutive days of rain. I am tired of rain. I am tired of typhoons. I will say that the…

We are… Moving Back to Korea!!!!

The title gives away the post! There were many, many reasons why we decided to move back to Korea. I don’t think I’ve ever told anybody all the reasons, or even verbalized them all, but I’ll go ahead and give it a try right now. I wasn’t really looking to come back. I won’t lie,…

Las Vegas!! February 2020

Summer’s cousin came to visit in February!! We had such a great time, seriously – but I worked the majority of the time. While I was working, they visited all the hotspots in LA and on the coast. For part of the time they flew up to San Francisco and explored around there, then flew…

Oahu, Hawaii: November 2019

I found a reeeally great fare to Oahu not long after we got back for Thanksgiving time, so we jumped on it! No, we don’t classify it as a honeymoon, that’s still TBD. Since I was still 1K at the time with United we got free food and drink. We decided to stay the first…

Our Wedding in Korea: November 2, 2019

We had started planning our wedding back in January, planning for a November wedding. Had we known we would leave we would have changed the timing! I left from LA and flew via Toronto. My parents left the same day and left from San Francisco, and we arrived at the airport about 2 hours apart…

Mileage Run Part III: New York to Singapore to Seoul

Singapore Airlines only does 3 or 4 flights a week out of EWR, only for the nonstop to Singapore, so their ticket counter has little fanfare. They also don’t have their own lounge, so they contract with Virgin. It’s pretty nice, albeit small. First time flying on an Airbus A350-900 ULR – I’ve flown A350’s…
