SRI LANKA

Our Asian Adventure was capped off with a journey through Sri Lanka.  It turns out - we saved the best for last.  Sri Lanka, formally known as Ceylon, is an island near India.  The country itself is magnificent with rolling tea fields, lush mountains, expansive beaches and turquoise lakes.  However, more impressive than the scenery, are the people who stole our hearts the moment we arrived.

ROGERS OUT

Chicago - here we come!

Rogers Out.

LANGKAWI, MALAYSIA

Happy 2 Year Anniversary to Us 

(insert mushy sentimental stuff here)! 

Obviously, I capitalized on the occasion by booking a weekend getaway to Langkawi, Malaysia.  Langkawi is an island in the Andaman sea, and only an hour flight on Silk Air (the budget version of Singapore airlines).  It has plenty to do, but we opted to skip the touristy attractions and park ourselves at our colonial-style resort The Danna.

BATAM, INDONESIA

After a jam-packed few weeks,  Jim and I decided it was time to slow down and I knew just the place  - Tempat Senang!  Last year, I spent one of the most blissful weekends here with my girlfriends, and have been dying to get Jim there.  Tempat Senang is a luxury spa resort in Batam, Indonesia - a quick 30 minute ferry ride across the strait of Singapore.  Easy, Cheap and Scenic.

HONG KONG

Hong Kong is only 3 1/2 hours away, but it could not feel more different than Singapore!  It only took us about 10 minutes to remember how much we loved the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong.  The city itself is gorgeous and steeped in rich culture everywhere you look.

Formula One Singapore

It's the most wonderful time... of the year....

Vroom! Vroom! That's right - it's Formula One Time! 

 Singapore starts setting up for the race a few months ahead of time, so there is much anticipated excitement by the time race weekend arrives.  The city truly comes alive, and the official celebrity watch is on! 

BALI, INDONESIA

Slow Clap for Bali.  Hands down in the running for our favorite trip. 

As you may recall, our Bali trip last summer was cancelled due to volcanic ash closing the airport.  We finally got around to re-booking the trip, and feel foolish for waiting so long!
