Week in Mauritius....

So behind on my blogs. Busy traveling again for work. But got to spend a week Mauritius for work. Always fun when work has me on a tropical island. Mauritius is a small island off the coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean. French speaking and full of sugar cane and beautiful beaches and resorts. It was our annual African dealer conference. But got to also spend time on the beach and with fellow co workers team building. Here are some pictures.

A weekend in Bali...

Bali is always a favorite of mine... And it was a great last stop for Bridget and JR on their Asian trip. I am so sad to have them leave! Had such a wonderful time with them...Brian joined us too for his first visit to Bali. We went snorkeling and saw amazing coral and fish. The boat ride was crazy to get out to the coral but worth it. We also stayed at the Conrad Bali and it was incredible. We had our own pool access from our room. The resort had a beautiful beach too. So lucky to end the great visit. I am truly blessed to have wonderful friends!

Here are some pictures from the fun weekend:

A weekend cruising in the Halong Bay

Had another amazing weekend with Bridget and JR. Brian and Mary joined us too. We went to Vietnam for the weekend and spent the weekend on the Halong Bay on a junk boat. It was awesome! The ship had another group of Americans and  us. We enjoyed the beautiful Halong Bay. Hiked an island, swam in the Bay as much as possible, enjoyed visiting the floating village, hiked through a cave, kayaked to a beach, and enjoyed UNO on the sun deck. Such a great trip! The people and food were wonderful and also the views. Vietnam continues to be a favorite. Here are some pictures from the trip:

Bridget and JR's visit to Singapore!

AtI always enjoy visitors - hint! And this month I have two visitors Brian and Lisa and now Bridget and JR - my good friends from MSOE. They made the journey from Denver to see me! The first stop was Singapore. We had a great weekend touring and enjoying the city. Of course we loved the Chinese Dumplings. We visited the beautiful Gardens by the Bay, Top of Marina Bay Sands, Sentosa Cable Car and had to spend a day at the new waterpark. So fun! We had to Vietnam this weekend for a fun cruise thought the Halong Bay. This week Bridget and JR enjoyed Phuket- cant wait to hear about it (I sadly had to work!)

Some pictures!
