We were flying out on a Wednesday so Joe got home from work
around 12 or so and we started the process of getting ready.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had to finish up packing and get the house
set to leave.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My dad got to our house
around 12 as well so that we could all go to the airport together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were ready to go around 2:30 or so and we
headed out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We parked at the
international terminal (FAST park) which was super easy and quick and then got
checked in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We got through the line
quick and went through the precheck line with nobody in it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once we got to the gate, Joe’s parents were
already there and then Matt showed up shortly after.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As soon as the gate opened Joe got in line to
ask for the bassinet and they told him they already gave the one they had away,
but then I got called up shortly after and we got the bassinet seat!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Joe must have done some great negotiation, or
it may have been my delta status.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
was the first time we got to board early which was nice since there were no
lines to wait in with Kaia.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She had been
so good at the airport, playing and wiggling around on her blanket getting her
energy out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She also hadn’t slept much
during the day since I tried to keep her up so she would sleep on the plane.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were all seated in the same area, so once
we got boarded we were off around 5:30.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p><br />

<span style="font-size: 11pt;">For dinner I ordered some egg plant lasagna and Joe got
chicken which he said was really good.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">
</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Kaia was still up for the most part through dinner, playing in the
bassinet and enjoying spending time with grandparents snuggling her.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">After dinner we put her down and she was fast
asleep.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">She woke up once</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">and after getting fed she was back down for
the night and didn’t wake up until it was time to land.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">She got a good 6-7 hours of sleep which isn’t
bad for her first plane ride! </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">We did
have a blowout poop (we had been warned this may happen on the flight) but we
managed!</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Before we knew it we were in
Venice.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The customs lines were crazy
long, but thanks to Kaia we got to skip the line and go to the family
line.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">This helped my dad out as he had
to catch a bus, and we headed to the rental car place to pick up a car.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The way pricing went, it was significantly cheaper for us to
rent when we landed on Thursday morning as opposed to when we needed it
Saturday so we picked it up, then went to park it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The rental car was a hot mess and took about
an hour before we even got called, then the car we got was too small so we
needed to change it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Needless to say, it
took a REALLY long time (over another hour) and we didn’t get to the water taxi
dock until 11:45 which is a short walk from the rental car place.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unfortunately, the 11:45 taxi was full so we
hopped on the 12:15 one and headed to Venice.<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u><o:p></o:p></u></b><br />
<br /></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>Day 1<o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The taxi took about an hour or so to get to our stop, the
last one, San Maria de Giglio.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once we
got there we were a bit stressed since our Air B&B guy was supposed to pick
us up but wasn’t there and the wifi wasn’t working.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had ordered a wifi thing before we left
and received it in the mail to allow for easy communication and mapping!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After about 15 or so minutes, he showed up
which was a relief, and took su to our place for the next two nights.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a bit of a walk with the luggage and
the bridges but we made it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once we got
settled in and changed we headed out to explore.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
First up was food,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>we
were starving so we wondered our way around San Marco Square and beyond to grab
lunch at Bierra Forst which was a place Jim had looked up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We got a board as well as about 8 sandwiches
and a bottle of prosecco.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everything was
amazing and the cute little restaurant seemed like it was more of a locals
place since it was<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a couple blocks off
the square.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everything was reasonably
priced with sandwiches only being a couple euros and the board stacked high
with meats and cheeses was $25.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were
stuffed so we wondered the streets for a while and made our way back to the air
b&b around 4:30.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

I<span style="font-size: 11pt;"> was exhausted
since I only slept about an hour on the flight so I fedd Kaia and handed her
off so I could nap.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">2 hours later, I
woke up feeling a little better.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Kaia
was definitely ready for bed time at 6:30 but were were talked into going out
to dinner since Kaia had been so well behaved the whole trip!</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">We walked for about 1 km or so in hopes to
grab dinner at a local restaurant but unfortunately they were full.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">We asked where they would recommend and they
said The Cantina, just down the street, so we headed so we there.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">It was more of a drink place but we weren’t
starving so we sat down.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">After a glass
of wine we decided to get a board again since we wouldn’t need that much
food.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">On the board was bufolatta as well
as about 8 or so different meats on two separate boards.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">We ordered the serving for 3 and it was
PLENTY of food for the 5 of us.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Kaia
slept most of dinner and opened her eyes on occasions but was definitely
getting quite tired.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The service wasn’t
quick so we didn’t get home until about 9:30, where Kaia immediately had her
first meltdown.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">She was so tired that
nothing could calm her down. We quickly bathed her in the sink (which she
screamed through) and swaddled her up to get her to sleep.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">It wasn’t quite that easy.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Since we were still milling around the place
she had trouble really falling asleep and would wake up every 10 minutes and we
would have to put her back down.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">By 10
or so everyone was in bed and she got fed for the last time and was FAST
asleep.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">We didn’t hear another peep from
her until I woke her up at 9:30 the next morning!</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Needless to say it was much needed sleep for
not just Kaia, but she woke up with a smile, ready for day 2!</span></div>

We were a lot slower moving in the morning than expected,

were not in a huge rush.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had bought
some pastries on the afternoon out the day before and Jim went and got coffee
for the coffee drinkers so we didn’t have to take time to eat breakfast.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After everyone was ready and fed we headed
out for the day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The first stop was the
Jewish Ghetto.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We decided we would just
wonder down that direction since our legs were fresh.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was the area in Venice where all of the
Jews were forced to live and a less touristy part of town.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On the way there we wondered some streets,
found some yummy smoothies to enjoy along the way, and enjoy being away from
the crowds a little bit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kaia was
excited to take her morning nap during this walk!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We wondered around until about 12:30 when we

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Lunch was at Pontini which was right in the area.</span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">It was a small little place that was quite
popular so we had to wait a little bit to get seated.</span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">We didn’t have to wait too long compared to
what the line was when we left so it seems we showed up the perfect time.</span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">We got a liter of house wine to share and a
lot of different plates to share.</span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">We
started with a large salad that had tuna on it and anchovies which were a lot
less salty than the ones you get in the states and very tasty.</span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">For our entrees to share we ordered black
pasta (black from the squid ink that makes your lips black too) with cuttle
fish, tagliatelle with mushrooms and scallops, and gnocchi with shrimp.</span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Everyone voted that the tagliatelli was the
best thing we have had so far but everythin</span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">g was very tasty.</span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">After that we all got a tiramisu to share
which was the best I have ever had!</span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">From there, we bought tickets for
Vaporetto (water taxi) to Murano, the island that is known for their glass
blowing.</span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">This is such a cute little
island and worth the trip.</span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">We wondered
the streets there for quite some time, stopping in some stores along the way.</span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Once we got to the main bridge we took Kaia
out so she could move around a bit, and then grabbed gelato at Gelatoria
Murano.</span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">After enjoying the ice cream we
started the trip back to the Vaporetto and made some purchases along the
way.</span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">It was getting a little overcast
and we were worried about the rain so we decided we would make our way to where
dinner reservations were so that we wouldn’t get stuck in the rain.</span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">We grabbed some drinks at a random restaurant
and then headed to dinner at 6:45.</span><br />

Dinner was at Ai Pronessi Sposi.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Reservations are a must as they are full
every night.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We got seated right away
and ordered the house prosecco.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We decided
we would share everything again so we started with beef carpaccio, tuna tartar,
and assorted shell fish in a broth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
beef carpaccio is the largest serving that I have seen in my life!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then we had orchettia pasta with tomatoes and
basil, liver and onions, and a whole seabass with potatoes, and the fried
seafood and vegetables.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everything was
cooked perfectly and a ton of food.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
also had some house red wine with dinner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>For desert we ordered the molten chocolate cake as well as
tiramisu.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Both were good but the molten
chocolate cake was amazing!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then we
ventured back to the air b&b for bed time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Again, Kaia did such a good job throughout the day and we made sure to
give her plenty of time to wiggle around outside of the carrier!<o:p></o:p></div>

This was our last morning in Venice so we decided to get
moving a little quicker.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were up and
out the door somewhat early.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We met Jim
and Barb at the coffee shop down the street from the Air B&B to get out
before all of the tourists.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We walked to
the Rialto Bridge and got a family photo since it was a bit more quiet and less
crowded than it normally is in the middle of the day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then we wondered through the market just past
the Rialto Bridge before finding a little pastry shop for breakfast.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We enjoyed breakfast then headed back to the
hotel to pack up our things.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

We got all packed then headed to the water taxi back to the
airport.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They run every half hour but we
wanted to make sure the hit the road early enough so we made our
reservations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We got through the airport
and to the rental car place fairly quick and hit the road for Slovenia.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We got there pretty quick and Joe was a great
driver.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We realized that we would get
there early, since we had 4:00 reservations, so we decided to detour and swing
by my grandmother’s house in Sencur.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Joe
passed the test and made it back to my grandmother’s house all on his own.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We met my grandma, aunt, uncle, and cousins
for about 30 minutes and enjoyed drinks and snacks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Before we knew it, it was time to head to
lunch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were meeting my family and my
parents for a meal at a nice restaurant in Atlanta.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

Danilo is a nice restaurant outside of Skofja Loka.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We got there right at 4 for our reservation. I don't remember all of the details of the food but everything they brought out was amazing. We had an assortment of wines and here are some examples of what we ate:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Deer file with mushed potateo, made of roasted carrot and kohlrabi</li>
<li>Duck breast with baked apples and beet root</li>
<li>Loška mešta – polenta with potato and black truffles</li>
<li>Trout with herbs on garden salad</li>
<li>Sea Bass</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We also had some salads, green salad and bean salad, other main courses, and an assortment of traditional Slovenian deserts. <span style="font-size: 11pt;">We wrapped up around 6 or so and headed to Davca where we
would be staying for our time in Slovenia.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">
</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Once we got there they went on a tour of the church as well as my grandmother’s
house so that they could see where all of the meats hang to dry as well as the
smoke room.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">They also went up to the
bells at the church which is cool to see.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">
</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">While they were out I played with Kaia a bit since she had been sitting
in the car for so long that she needed to wiggle a little. Then it was about
time to get to bed as we were all fairly early and it seemed like nobody got a
good night of sleep the night before.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">
</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Kaia went down fairly quick and slept for the night which was nice,
since the next day was a big day for her.</span><br />

but fell back asleep.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At 7:30 we were up
and running and enjoyed breakfast.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My
aunt went above and beyond for breakfast and we had potica, bobe, bread, cheeses,
coffee, and anything else we wanted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After breakfast we got dressed and headed to church in Susa which is a
small church on top of a hill.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is a
hike and you can’t drive up to it so we had to have plenty of time to get to
church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Church was all in Slovenian so
it was a bit hard to understand for the DiDias but it was a great
experience.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kaia stayed with my Aunt
while we went to church so I was glad to hear she behaved herself when we go
back.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once we got back Kaia took a nap
and then we got her dressed for her baptism.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>She had the cutest dress and shoes and bloomers from a consignment
sale.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then she wore my mom’s hat that
she wore at her baptism.</div>

We had planned the baptism a while out and we were grateful
that the priest said that he would do it for us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were also excited to see my grandma and
other family was able to attend.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jana
got Kaia the prettiest baptism candle and baptism garment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It started by us walking in with Kaia’s
godparents, Matt and Jana.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once we got
there there were readings but since we had already been to church we didn’t
have mass or a homily.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After that we
went through the baptism with Kaia.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My
dad did a great job translating to Slovenian so the DiDia family could
understand and Matt could understand what he was promising.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kaia was awake and watching for a long time
and quite as a mouse.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She didn’t even
cry when they poured water over her head!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There was a blessing where the priest touched her ears as a blessing,
and instantly Kaia closed her eyes and fell asleep, which was so funny!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After we wrapped up the baptism it was time
for a picnic.<o:p></o:p></div>

desert my aunt got all of my family to bring different things.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">There was so many deserts, two different
types of potica, roglicki, and bajadera, and coconut cate. A lot of this stuff
was homemade since they have a farm so it was absolutely amazing.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">There were a lot of kids around and some of
the younger kids were loving on Kaia.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">
</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Kaia got a lot of snuggles and fell asleep with my aunt and my
grandma.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Some of my family speaks
English so they also got to have some conversations with the DiDias.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Around 4 or so we decided to go on a walk to
walk off all of the food we ate while some others took a nap.</span></div>

Once we got back it was time for the families to head out
and hit the road as it was past nap time for most of the kids.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We relaxed for a bit before heading to Urban
and Tina’s apartment to visit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They had
plenty of snacks, borovnicke, and wine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Eva held Kaia and was so gentle with her that it was the first time Kaia
really got a good look at someone that wasn’t an adult.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was bed time for Kaia around 7:30 as she was
getting cranky so I went an put her to bed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We had to have one more meal before bed time, which was just bread, some
homemade salami, homemade pickles, an Rafosk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Everyone enjoyed chatting about how they make pickles and salami,
Slovenian traditions, and what we would be up to the next day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We wanted an early start so we went to bed
fairly early.<o:p></o:p><br />

This was our first day of site seeing throughout
Slovenia.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had to hit the road around
8 since we wanted to be back in time for dinner time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The first stop was Bohinj.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think this is one of the prettiest and
definitely most photogenic places in Slovenia.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It is also not a huge tourist attraction so it isn’t super crowded.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It can get filled with locals but we were
there pretty early in the morning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
sun was shining so the lake looked beautiful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

The next stop was Bled.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This is the one place that everyone wants to go when they visit Slovenia
as it is the picture that comes up on google.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It is a beautiful lake with an island in the middle with a church on
it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We found parking and walked down to
the lake where we strolled around for a bit. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We then walked up to Slascicarna Zima and
grabbed deserts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We got a couple
kremsnit which are cream filled pastries and Blejska Grmada which is a cake
like dough with raisins and rum and whipped cream. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After we finished eating desert half of the
group walked up to tour the castle while Jana, Barb and I stayed down by the
lake and let Kaia wiggle around a bit since she had been sitting in the car
seat a while.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The weather was perfect
and we loved just sitting by the lake.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They enjoyed the tour of the castle and said they wished they had a lot
more time since Kaia was getting a bit tired.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They loved learning about the printing press and touring some of the
rooms.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They didn’t get to go down to the
wine seller and said they would definitely be back to finish up the tour one
day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After they got back we headed out
to the next stop.</div>

The last stop was to the Soca River Valley.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is a beautiful river that has the
brightest blue water due to the mineral content in the water and the white
rocks that line the river.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To get there
you go over a couple mountains and a lot of winding roads which make for great
stops to stop and take some pictures.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
stopped at the pass through in Triglavski National Park where we walked a bit
and enjoyed seeing all the sheep run around.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It was getting pretty late and we underestimated the <span style="font-size: 11pt;">time that we needed
to get to all of these places so we needed to find a place to grab some lunch.</span></div>

Lunch was at Gostilna Jazbec.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here we decided to grab a light lunch since
we would be eating dinner in 2 ½ hours.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The mushroom soup was fantastic and my mom ordered yota which is a
traditional Slovenian soup that has vegetables in it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also got two large meat platters to share
which had sausage, pork, fried turkey, potatoes, fries, and salad.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were all full and the food was great.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p><br />

We would our way back in the misting raining but were lucky
as we seemed to have missed all of the heavy rain.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We took one last quick stop at Most Na Soci
which is on the Soca River but the water is a bit deeper so the water is
incredibly blue.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We made it home just in
time as Kaia had had enough and was ready to get out of the car seat about 15
minutes before we got home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We got home
and already had dinner on the table waiting us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>My aunt made knedelne which is a traditional fruit dumpling made of a
potatoes dough and topped with a red wine sauce.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everything was amazing and we were
sufficiently stuffed for the day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some
of the group headed out for a walk to walk off some of the food and I put Kaia
down for bed since the next day would be another long day.<o:p></o:p></div>

We thought we were going to get a later start for the day
but it filled up quick.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> We got up and saw my family was already working in the fields. When we hit the road i</span>t was a little
less driving for Kaia’s sake which was nice, since she had enough the night
before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The first stop for the day was
Skofja Loka, one of the largest towns near Davca.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We walked around a bit and walked into one of
the souvenir shops to look at some of the local crafts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were hoping to go up to the castle but

<span style="font-size: 11pt;">The next stop was a dairy farm that my cousin lives on.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">They have over 100 cows which means that a
lot of the farm is automated.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">It is
really cool to see with the machines that automatically milk the cows, test the

Lunch today was at Arvaj which was down the street from the
farm and in the general area.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The DiDia
boys all ordered sausages from Kranj, my dad ordered ‘lesicke’ which were
mushrooms, sausages, some vegetables, and in a parmesan bowl, I had goulash,
and my mom had buckwheat dumplings filled with cheese.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had huge servings and were incredibly
full!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After that we visited my dad’s
cousin and only living aunt in a town nearby.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They had some meats and cheeses and drinks to offer and my dad loved
catching up with family that he hadn’t seen in quite a while.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She is 92 years old and still looking
fabulous and living on her own with her husband whom she had been married to

house.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It would be her 82 birthday the
next day so we had a birthday celebration for her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My uncle put up some decoration in the yard
and had so many deserts for everyone to snack on as well as beer and wine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was so good getting to spend some time
with my cousins and grandmother since we didn’t get to see them much this
trip!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My cousin also came home with her
week old baby that was born a month early so it was so cute seeing a fresh new
baby!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She was such a trouper swinging by
for a bit and I know my grandmother loved having everyone around to celebrate
with her.<o:p></o:p></div>

Once we wrapped up it was 45 minutes and luckily was time to
hit the road again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The drive to Marbor
was another 45 minutes and luckily Kaia fell asleep pretty quick.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once we got to Maribor we met up with Ana,
who was my cousins roommate who went to high school in Maribor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We got there around 12:30 and we headed to
lunch because we had plans at 1:00.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
grabbed a Kabob, because we couldn’t leave the country without trying some fast
food.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then headed to the Maribor Wine
Celler for our tour at 1:00.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We took a
private tour in the wine celler and it was amazing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They have 6 million liters of wine there
which means that every Slovenian could get drunk twice!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are so many pathways that they have
historically had some people get lost. <o:p></o:p><br />

old as 1946. He said that really old aged wine taste like mushrooms but it
takes a lot of work to keep them up.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">
</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">They must be rotated </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">the wines
every 5-10 years, and test them to make sure the acidity was good, then rework
the cork.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">They also add a bit of newer
wine to keep up with evaporation.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-size: 11pt;">After
we finished the tour we went to the tasting room where all of us had 2 samples
of wine.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Once we wrapped up there we went
and gabbed ice cream at Iunch which was a very hardy serving for just over 1
euro.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">After that we went exploring.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">We walked to where Sv. Anton Slomcek</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">is buried and walked through the church.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Then we walked past the post office to the
main square where they just wrapped up a fair.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">
</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">They had a statue there for the black plague.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Then we walked past city hall down to the
river.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Along the river they have the
oldest vine in the world where they make 100 liters/year.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">It is incredibly hard to get wine from there,
and the pope, queen, and other’s own a bottle. After that we walked back up to
Luft which has a great view of all of Maribor and the drinks looked
amazing.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">We were all pretty worn out by
then so we decided it was time to start the trip back.</span></div>

we split up and headed back to Davca.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">
</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Kaia did a very good job on the drive back and we only stopped once to

</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Once we got to Davca it was time for pizza in their wood burning

cousin made for Kaia’s baptism.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The plan
was to have it earlier but there were so many deserts at the picnic and then my
grandmother’s birthday celebration that they saved it for today and it was
amazing!</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">People really know how to bake
cakes in Slovenia!</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">After more socializing
it was time to head to bed as we were all pretty worn out from the day.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>Day<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>8<o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 49.5pt;">
Unlike the other days, we didn’t
have to hit the road too early in the morning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We planned on leaving around 9 or so but then we realized it was going
to be a pretty hot day so we hit the road around 8:30.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the morning my aunt made crepes for us
which were a nice change of pace and very tasty.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since my parents had left the evening before,
we were all able to fit in the van and hit the road for Ljubljana.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jana was our tour guide for the day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Last time Joe and I went it was freezing so
we were glad to have some different weather.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 49.5pt;">
After we parked the car near the
city center we started the tour, starting at one of the main squares, then down
the river bank.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jana had plenty of facts
and pointed out all of the different university buildings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We made our way to the three bridges and the
Preseren statue where we grabbed some ice cream and sat down for a bit and fed
Kaia.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was starting to warm up so we
were glad to have an ice cream break.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Then we headed to the dragon bridge, and then made the decision to take
the gondola to the castle since we were already there.<o:p></o:p><br />

I had not gone up to the castle in
a really long time so it was fun to see.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We did not do the official tour or anything like that but we walked the
grounds and took in the beautiful views of Ljubljana.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After that we headed down to grab a quick
bite to eat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We would our way down the
streets and grabbed some food at Sokol which has a lot of traditional Slovenian
options.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We got the meat and cheese
platter for two, the venison pate, and the caprese salad.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They also have a homebrewed beer that the
guys enjoyed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was nice getting out of
the heat for a bit and allowing Kaia to cool off as I know she was quite warm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The food was great and I especially liked the
pate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once we finished up we found our
way back to the car to head home.<o:p></o:p><br />

On the way home most of us napped
since it seemed like the heat had gotten the best of us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We finished up the tour by showing the DiDia’s
the ski slopes that look onto Davca as well as the best view from across the
mountain.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is very neat looking at the
property and Davca from afar.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We got
home right in time to eat again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
time we had fried turkey and potatoes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The potatoes are the best thing in Davca, even for someone who doesn’t
love potatoes because they are so crispy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We sipped on wine and enjoyed our last big meal in Davca, and topped it
off with some ice cream.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p><br />

<span style="font-size: 11pt;">After relaxing for a bit we headed
to Sorica to visit my cousin and his family.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">
</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">They are not far from Davca and have a whole bunch of sheep as well as
two goats.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">They are always so cute to
see!</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">We stayed and visited for quite
some time before we realized Kaia was quite tired and hungry and ready for
bed.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Once we got home Kaia went down for
bed time and we had some bread with meats and cheeses so we wouldn’t get hungry
at night.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Then I spent some time talking
with my aunt and uncle before heading to bed.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">
</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">We wanted to hit the road pretty early since we had a lot of driving to
do the following day and we still needed to pack so we called it an early bed
time.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 49.5pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 49.5pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>Day 9<o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 49.5pt;">
We got up and moving around 7 since
Kaia woke up at 6:30.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was actually
sleeping in a bit since I had been waking up around 5:30 with the sun.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We got up and got everything packed before
heading downstairs for our last breakfast.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Like always, there was potica, meats and cheeses, and hard boiled
eggs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once we finished up breakfast it
was time for goodbyes before hitting the road.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I was so sad to go as I always love spending time with my family that I
don’t get to see very often.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had
about a 2 ½ hour drive ahead of us to go to Piran.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Joe and I had visited Piran last time we were
in Slovenia but it was dark and rainy so we wanted to go back. Kaia did great
on the drive and slept on and off the whole way.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 49.5pt;">
You park your car at the parking
deck and take the bus into the city since most of the streets are too narrow
for cars.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s almost like Venice but
with streets instead of water.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was
already hot when we got there so we quickly started the walk from the
square.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We made our way to the point of
the city then started wandering back to find some food.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was quite warm out but since the streets
are narrow and the buildings are taller, there is a lot of shade. We wondered
the streets a bit more before deciding to grab lunch at Fritolin Pri
Cantini.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is a seafood place since
we had eaten so much meat while we were in Slovenia.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We ordered the mixed fish plate that came
with a local fish, grilled and fried calamari, stuffed squid, polenta.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also got the grilled calamari plate and
the grilled tuna plate and they also brought bread that you could dip in the
olive oil from the grilled calamari plate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Everything was quite good.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
service wasn’t great as the girl taking the orders was fairly rude but the food
made up for it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You order food at the
counter than drinks are brought by the table, which can be confusing for first
time visitors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kaia was very hot by this
point so I took this as an opportunity to lay her out a bit and fan her so she
would cool off. <o:p></o:p><br />

<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Once we finished we decided to make
one last stop at St. Georges which has a bell tower you can go up.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The walk isn’t too far and it gives a
stunning view of Piran. Behind the church there was a lot of shade and a great
breeze so it was nice to cool off a bit.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">
</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">To go up the bell tower it is 1 euro so we took the 146 steps up to take
in the views.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Just be mindful of when
the bells ring, I was lucky to be down a flight of stairs with Kaia when they
rung but I know it had to be terribly loud!</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">
</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">They are amazing views and quite worth it!</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">We relaxed for a bit after going up the
church tower then headed back to the square to take the bus back.</span><br />

Piran is such a beautiful city and

<span style="font-size: 11pt;">We stayed at San Giorgio di
Livenza</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">with is in the outskirts of
Venice.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">It is a beautiful house where we
rented 3 rooms.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The owner is such a
sweet lady and was waiting for us at the door with a huge smile on her
face.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Although her English isn’t great,
she gets the point across and she really is so sweet.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">We all got settled in then headed Caorle
where we grabbed dinner at Pizzaria Venus.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">
</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">We ordered the Caorle Pizza which had sun dried tomatoes, shrimp, and
scallops on it, as well as a margarita and a mushroom prosciutto pizza. It was
quite warm out so Kaia wasn’t quite as content as normal but after taking her
clothes off and having the breeze pick up she cooled off a bit.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">After enjoying pizza and wine we headed back
to the bed and breakfast where we enjoyed a bottle of sparkling wine outside
before heading to bed.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">This was the last
night of the trip so we were sad to see vacation come to an end and have to go
to the airport the next morning.</span><br />

Once we wrapped up breakfast we packed the car and hit the road.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was about a 40 minute drive to the airport
so it wasn’t too far away. The drop off for the rental car was much quicker
than the pick up which we were grateful for. We needed to be checked an hour
before our flight so we didn’t leave too much time to spare.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We hurried to the airport from the rental car
terminal and found our way to the check in counter (which isn’t the easiest
thing to find).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Luckily, I had Delta
status so we got to hop into a shorter line and were through the check in process
before we knew it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The ladies at the
desk were so kind and without us even asking, put us in the bassinet row as
well as moved Matt to sit in the 3<sup>rd</sup> seat in our row.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They also took care of all of our gate check
stuff like the stroller and car seat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p><br />

<span style="font-size: 11pt;">For security, the VCE to ATL flight
has its own security terminal which was amazing!</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">There was nobody in line at that security
checkpoint while the line at the other check point was incredibly long.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Again, traveling with an infant has its perks
and I got to bring water through and I got to walk through a different line
where the security people helped me with Kaia and get my stuff through.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Really I cannot speak more highly about
everyone at the airport.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Once we got to
the gate and through passport control (which again we skipped the line) we
didn’t have long to wait before we boarded and were off.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 49.5pt;">
<o:p></o:p><br />
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">The flight was 11 hours and during
the day so we weren’t quite sure how Kaia would do.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Luckily, she was well behaved again.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">We got the bassinet set up pretty quick as
she was tired.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">It was warm in the
B&B so I don’t think she slept as well as she normally does. It was also
been a long day and she was awake through security and the car ride so she was
ready for a nap.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">She napped on and off
and before we knew it we were back in Atlanta.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">
</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">We got through customs quick since we had global entry and were on the
road home.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">As life is with a newborn, by
that time Kaia had had enough of her carseat so she had a minor melt down as we
drove home and the uber driver was so patient with us and even offered to pull
over to calm her down.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">We pressed on
since I knew she was just totally worn out, and she ended up falling asleep
towards the end of the drive.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">We were so
glad to be home but missing Slovenia already!</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 49.5pt;">
<o:p></o:p><br />
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">We were so grateful for perfect
weather the whole trip and an amazing time with my family.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">They went above and beyond to make sure that
we were taken care of, had a tour guide when we needed one, and tasted the most
amazing Slovenian food that you just can’t get in America!</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">I am so blessed that Slovenia is more than just
a place that I was born, but a place that helped me grow into who I am today.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 49.5pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>Summary</u></b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Visit Boninj,<span style="font-size: 11pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">
</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">it isn’t far from Bled which is a huge tourist attraction and it is
STUNNING</span></li>
<li>The wine cellar in Maribor is a MUST</li>
<li>Piran is a city where you can lay on the beach
and explore a quieter city that has so much charm and character</li>
<li>If you get car sick, make sure you mentally
prepare for VERY curvy roads but scenery that makes it all worth it</li>
<li>Newborns are adaptable, so don’t be scared to
travel with a 2 month old…they don’t know what a time change is so if they
sleep through the night before the trip, they will do so after (or at least
that was our experience)</li>
<li>Trips on mountain roads always take longer than
you expect</li>
<li>The Bled Castle is worth it (I didn’t go but
everyone else loved it)</li>
<li>Do your research and you can find a lot of
really amazing authentic food for not that much money!</li>
</ul>

<b><u>Travel<o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hawaii kind of snuck up on us. We didn’t book the trip that far in advance
but with the craziness of Thanksgiving and Christmas, the trip was here before
we knew it. We had worked with Christy,
our travel agent, to get the hotels booked but decided to use miles to fly to
Hawaii since it was only 50K miles per flight and I had so many Delta miles. We
started the day with an 8:30 flight to SFO.
That meant we had a 6 AM wake up and took an Uber to the airport, but
the morning drive was pretty easy since we were ahead of traffic. The flight to SFO was about 5 hours and
unfortunately we weren’t lucky enough to get an exit row so it was a bit
cramped. Joe worked during the flight
while I watched Bad Moms and Couples Retreat.
Both movies were cute movies and we got to SFO before we knew it. The cool thing was that recently Delta
decided to change their snacks (no more peanuts/pretzels/cookies) and added
some yummy yogurt bars and trail mix and said they would be changing it up
every couple months! Now that is
exciting news for someone who travels a lot.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
From SFO we had a quick flight to LAX, but we were starving
when we landed in SFO so we grabbed a bite to eat at the stand at the end of
the Delta terminal. The chicken salad
sandwiches were amazing! The layover wasn’t very long and we were taking off
from the same gate we landed at so before we knew it we were on our 45 minute
flight to LAX. Once we landed in LAX we
were informed that the water main had broken at Terminal 5 (the Delta terminal)
so there was no running water/working bathrooms/open restaurants. We had a pretty long layover so we weren’t too
worried about it except for a pregnant lady has to go to the bathroom a couple
more times than normal! They had set up
4 porter potties outside one of the gates that they actually kept shockingly
clean. It was entertaining listening to
the outrageous complaints as people had to go to the porter potties if they did
not want to walk to another terminal.
Since the water main was broken Delta was providing all sorts of free
snacks like goldfish and fig bars as well as water! I made sure to stock up on snacks. About an hour before boarding, we headed to
Terminal 4 where we found another food stand type place to grab dinner. I had a
cup of tortilla soup since we hadn’t eaten that long ago and Joe had a really
good chicken sandwich (with very sub-par fries). Once we finished up we walked back to the
terminal where the water had been restored to the terminal and before we knew
it we were taking off.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The flight from LAX to Maui was about 5 hours as well and we
took off on time which meant we were landing in Maui a bit early! Joe and I both read for the majority of the
flight and Joe dozed a little bit as well.
Once we landed our luggage was out in no time and we headed to
Enterprise to pick up our rental car.
That wasn’t a bad process and then we hit the road. Joe had decided we would stay at Royal
Lahaina the first night to not have too long of a drive and then we could do
the Kapalua Coastal Trail in the morning.
It was about a 45 minute drive but it wasn’t too long of a drive before
we got there. We checked in in no time
and were told we had gotten upgraded for our room! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When we got to the room it was probably the nicest hotel
room we have ever stayed in! You walk
into a really large foyer, then to the right you have a full living room and
kitchen area with a balcony. Straight
ahead was a huge bathroom, and then to the left was the bedroom. The bedroom was huge but the best part was
the second huge balcony overlooking the beach!
No joke this room was amazing!
Unfortunately, we were both so worn out with the travel and it was 10:30
in Hawaii which meant it was super late for us, so we headed straight to
bed. You could hear the waves crashing
on the ocean. We were both fast asleep,
glad to have made it to Hawaii.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u>Day 1</u></b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We woke up around 6 and snoozed until about 7 before we
realized there was no way we could sleep any longer. We were both quite hungry since our last meal
had been so long ago so we snacked a bit then got ready for the day. The first stop was breakfast, which was at
808 Grindz Café. This was such a cute
small restaurant. We got there right
around 8:20 or so and were happy to find only one person on the waiting list
before us. We got seated in about 10-15
minutes and were greeted by the sweetest hostess! Joe ordered the Portuguese Sausage Mojo which
was sausage, fried rice, and egg while I got the 3 pancakes, s’mores flavored
with vanilla cream. My pancakes were
probably the best pancakes I have had, and I am so glad Joe talked me into
getting the s’mores instead of my chocolate chip go to order! Joe enjoyed his
meal as well and we were glad to have full bellies.<o:p></o:p></div>

After that we stopped by the grocery store and grabbed beer
and water before hitting the road to the Kapalua Coastal Trail. Parking at the start of the trail can be
tough and we drove in circles a bit trying to find the public parking, then
realizing it was full, the trying to parallel in a spot that we realized was
too small once we got to it, then going back to public parking to turn around,
then getting super lucky and having someone pull out right as we pulled
in! We started the mile and a half
stroll and took our time going and exploring the inlets, the lava cliffs along
the beaches, and taking in the scenery.
The weather was right around 80 which was perfect for walking
around. We spent about an hour and a
half walking the trail and back before heading back to the car. We weren’t hungry yet even though it was
lunch time so we decided to do the hour drive to our hotel and see if we could
go ahead and check in. <o:p></o:p></div>

Our next hotel was Hotel Wailea where we would be receiving
5 star service for the next 4 nights!
Upon check in, I received a beautiful lei while Joe got a great
necklace. We were happy to hear that our room was ready so we headed out with
our concierge to check out the grounds then get settled into our room. Our room here was a cute little section of a cottage
where we had a beautiful kitchen (with a subzero fridge drawer that Joe loved),
a living room, the largest bathroom ever with a HUGE tub, and a bedroom. We received a wonderful welcome card with
shortbread cookies (I guess this is more acceptable when they know you are on a
babymoon and opt out of a bottle of champagne).
The Falcons were playing in the second round of playoffs and we had been
listening to the game during the drive so we finished watching the second
quarter while Joe enjoyed a beer and then headed out to lunch.</div>

Lunch was at Pita Paradise where I got the Mediterranean
chicken pita and Joe got the spicy falafel pita. They were pretty large portions but both were
amazing! We finished watching the 3<sup>rd</sup>
quarter and the start of the 4<sup>th</sup> when Joe was confident enough that
the Falcons would win and headed back to the hotel. At the hotel we got ready and headed up to
the pool for a couple hours to relax.
The pool is beautiful and we sat under the cabanas for a bit and then by
these really cool chairs by the pool for a while. Around 4:30 we headed back to our room to
shower up and get ready for the night.
The hotel has happy hour with free wine at 5 so we got dressed and then
headed up for Joe to enjoy a couple glasses of wine and watched the
sunset. As the sun went down we headed
to dinner.<o:p></o:p></div>

Dinner was at Paia Fish Market. This is in Kihei which is a small beach town
down the streel from the hotel about 10 minutes. It had a bit more of a relaxed vibe with a
cute market. I got the fish tacos which
were amazing but a very large serving for me!
I got the side of potatoes which were amazing as well as the cole slaw
which wasn’t my favorite because it has so much sauce. Joe ordered a blackened Ono sandwich which he
thought was quite tasty and fries. We
wondered our way back to the car and headed back to the hotel for the
night. In our room we had received tiny
deserts in our room so we sampled through the deserts before relaxing for a bit
before heading to bed early (8:30). We
were worn out from the day and ready for a good long night of sleep!<o:p></o:p></div>

<b><u>Day 2<o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Since we fell asleep so early, we were both awake around
6:30 or so. Since we were up early we
relaxed in our room for a bit and researched what we wanted to do for the day
before heading to breakfast at 7:30. Maui
was hit by some pretty bad flooding in September and a lot of the hikes we were
planning on doing are unfortunately closed for the time being. We had to improvise and change our plans a
little bit so it was nice to have some time to do that. We had a $50 credit for breakfast at the
hotel so we figured we should make the most of it. I ordered the avocado toast and Joe ordered
the farm omelet which had mushrooms, red peppers, summer squash, feta, and a
hardy serving of breakfast potatoes. We
wrapped up breakfast and got back to the room to get ready for our volcano
hike. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The drive was about an hour and a half through super windy
roads. We took the more scenic route and
got to see a lot of farms growing sugar cane as well as a couple more local
villages. The entrance fee to Haleakala National Park is $20 for three days so
we paid that and went on our way. We
stopped by the visitor center and then started making the rest of the way up
the mountain. We stopped at Leleiwi
Overlook which was a quick hike to a beautiful overlook point of the
volcano. We continued to make our way up
and made it to the summit which is just over 10,000 feet. Since I am pregnant we had to be very careful
with how much time we spent that high up as well as how much energy I
exerted. Knowing me, I would push it,
but Joe did a good job forcing us to turn around on walks. At the top we went to the observation center
as well as the peak before going back down to the head of the Sliding Sands
Trailhead. We walked the trail for a bit
but most people warned us that you don’t realize how sloped downhill it is
until you have to turn around and walk back up.
We kept that in mind while we walked and turned around with ample energy
to make it back to the top. The views
were absolutely breathtaking and although we didn’t get to do the full hike, I
am glad that we made the trip.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After the hike we started making our way back to the
hotel. We stopped for lunch at Kula
Bistro which was a tough find. There
aren’t many places that are open on Sundays here so make sure to plan
ahead! This was one of the only places
we have been to but like I told Joe, this was a top 5 meal for me. I had the crab cake panini which was
absolutely amazing and I could have eaten it every day on this trip. Joe had the Kalua Pork Panini which was quite
tasty as well. I was feeling the effects
of the altitude a bit so it was nice to get some food in my stomach and I was
already feeling better. We made the
remaining 45 minute trip back to the hotel and got back around 2:30.</div>

Once we got back we changed into our suits and headed to the
pool where we relaxed for until a little after 5. Joe enjoyed happy hour at 5 and then we
headed back to the room to get ready for dinner. We got dressed then drove to the field right
at the entrance of our hotel where they have an open field. From the field we watched the sun set before
driving to dinner. Dinner was at Nula
which was close to the restaurant we ate at the night before. I got the brie and apple burger and Joe got
the short ribs. The burger was fantastic
and Joe loved his ribs. They came with a
huge serving of rice, kimchee, and super yummy mac salad which I am pretty sure
I ate the majority of. After dinner we
headed back to the hotel for the night.
We tried to push bed time but were worn out by 8:30 so another early bed
time for us!</div>

<b><u>Day 3<o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After another early bed time we were awake by 6 AM. Joe had a little bit of work to do so he
tried to get the majority of it done before we started the day. We thought we had ordered room service so we
were planning on a knock on the door at 7:30 but come 7:45 we still didn’t have
breakfast so we check outside. We found
our room service card laying on the floor so they most likely didn’t see it so
we headed to breakfast. I ordered the
papaya bowl with chia pudding and Joe got the crispy waffle. The papaya bowl was good but not what I was
expecting but Joe loved the waffle. We
also got croissants which were freshly baked and amazing. After breakfast we went back to the room to
pack up for the morning and hit the road.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The first beach we stopped at was Maluaka Beach and
snorkeled to turtle town. Unfortunately,
there were no turtles to be found so we made our way back to the beach where we
relaxed until a little after 10. The sun
was out and the day was beautiful so we wondered on to our next beach. Our next stop was La Perouse Bay which was in
the middle of all of the lava fields. It
wasn’t really a beach but more of an area to hike so we explored just a little
before heading to Ahihi Bay where there were a ton of snorkeler and a ton of
fish. It was a really cool snorkel spot
and there were a ton of fish in a very small area which was nice. The water is definitely cooler so be
prepared, but the snorkeling was worth it!
Once we wrapped up there and got dried off we headed to lunch.</div>

Lunch was at South Maui Fish Company which is a food truck
in a parking lot. It was amazing. Joe got the poke bowl while I got the fish
tacos, and both were amazing as well as the staff was very friendly. After lunch we drove down the street Maui
Gelato for some ice cream. We picked
peanut butter and double chocolate brownie for desert which was delicious! After lunch it was time for our afternoon
relaxing by the pool. We spent the
afternoon reading, Joe answered some emails, and hanging out in the pool until
about 4:45 when we headed to quickly get showered and ready for dinner. We stopped by happy hour where Joe enjoyed a
glass of wine before heading to dinner at Matteos which was a recommendation by
the bar tender at the pool. Happy hour
was from 5-6 so we decided we would go ahead and hit up happy hour for some
half price food! This was well worth it
and a great recommendation. We had
calamari and sgabei which is an Italian fried sandwich. Then we got two pizzas, Portofino (potatoes,
pesto, mascarpone) and Upcountry (Italian Sausage, Onion, Mushroom) which were
both amazing. We ended with real
authentic tiramisu which is hands down my favorite desert when done right! With all of that food and two beers our bill
was only $50! For those who know Hawaii
prices, that was a steal! Joe is joking
about going back and trying the other two appetizers and pizzas tomorrow for
happy hour! </div>

We finished up by heading back to the room where we relaxed
for a bit and Joe enjoyed the hot tub for a little while before heading to bed
super early again. Why break a schedule
when it’s set and then we have some time to relax in the morning before
breakfast!<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The day started around 5 AM when my body decided it was time
to wake up. Since we were awake so early
it was the perfect time for Joe to get some work done while I read a bit. At 7:25 we got a knock on the door with the
breakfast we had ordered the night before!
I had ordered the seasonal fruit which was amazing but a VERY small
serving size and Joe got the waffle again.
After we finished up breakfast it was time to go turtle hunting. Since we booked the trip that was the one
thing I wanted to do, swim with turtles.
We were unsuccessful the day before so we tried again. </div>

We started the day with about a 3 mile walk along the Wailea
Walking Path which was surprisingly crowded at 8 AM and very narrow. We strolled along and saw a ton of whales in
the distance as well as a couple turtles in the water. As we made our way back we decided to go to
the two other beaches where you are supposed to be able to snorkel with turtles
first to see if they were there (big mistake…always go swim where you verified
a turtle spotting!). We ventured back to
Ahihi Bay, this time with a little research that you were supposed to swim to
the right of the bay to find turtles. The
water was quite cold and the sun wasn’t peeking out like it had during our walk
so it was quite chilly! We snorkeled
around for quite some time but had no success finding turtles to swim
with! That being said, we loved this
spot and there were so many schools of fish out, as well as many dolphins and
whales playing in the distance. This is
a must go to place to snorkel as long as you are able to snag a parking spot in
the tiny lot. </div>

From there we ventured back to Maluaka Beach where we went
exploring again. Unfortunately, we
weren’t so lucky here, and I was getting a bit cold since again, the sun wasn’t
wanting to come out and the wind was picking up a bit. We hopped out of the water after another long
snorkeling trip and made our way to lunch since I was starving from a light
breakfast and lots of physical activity.
Lunch was at 808 Deli which was a recommendation by our bar tender. It was amazing! I got the Chicken Pesto Panini with Caprese
Pasta Salad and Joe got the Roast Beef Melt with Spicy Pasta Salad. We both devoured them in a couple
minutes. We also got the peanut butter,
banana, chocolate pudding which was amazing!
After lunch we headed back to the hotel and hung out on the lanai for a
little bit before heading to the hotel beach at the Grand Wailea Hotel. There they have water and chairs and towels
ready for us so we hung out for a bit before strolling to find some
turtles. The wind picked up a lot in the
next hour or so so we decided to give up on turtle searching and head back to
the hotel to get out of the wind. Once
we got back to the hotel we relaxed by the hotel pool until about 4:30 before
getting ready for dinner.</div>

We took a pit stop at happy hour before going down to Wailea
Beach to watch the sun set. It was a
great sunset since half of the sky was cloud free and the other half looked
like storm clouds! As the sun set we
headed to dinner at Coconuts Fish Café which was somewhat newly opened but the
second location in Maui. It is known for
their fish tacos which are piled high with 14 ingredients. We started with the seafood chowder which was
amazing then we each had two tacos. They
are HUGE but were amazing and full of flavor.
Just be careful eating so you don’t get it everywhere, and make sure you
have plenty of napkins on your lap so you don’t get your clothes dirty when you
drop some toppings. After that we headed
back to the hotel to relax for a bit before starting to pack a little around 8
and then head to bed! We had a canoe
trip in the morning before starting our trek to the next hotel so we knew we
needed to get to bed early (not that it was any different from the previous
nights!)</div>

<b><u>Day 5<o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Just like all the other mornings, we were up and at it
around 6:30 or so. After relaxing for a
bit we got breakfast delivered around 7:45, which was a bit late. Joe got bacon, potatoes, and a bagel while I
got toast, a croissant, and hard boiled eggs.
We had to meet in the hotel lobby at 7:45 for our canoe excursion so we
scarfed down breakfast and got to the beach just before 8. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The outrigger canoe is a very traditional Hawaiian mode of
transportation. Our hotel provided many
complimentary activities and this was the first one we opted to attend, and
were lucky we got a spot because they booked up quick! The hotel contracted this excursion to
Hawaiian Outrigger Experience and I am so glad they did. We started off the morning learning about the
traditional culture of Hawaii, how Hawaii was discovered, traditions of the
tribes and chiefs, and navigating the waters based on reading the starts. This was done by a pure blood Hawaiian who
dedicated his life to keeping the old traditions. After a bit of learning, he sang to the gods
of the ocean to allow us into their home, and then we were off. I was the lucky winner to get put in the
front of the canoe to lead the rowing.
We made our way out and saw some whales popping up here and there. Once we got far out the guide put a
hydrophone in the water so we could hear the beautiful whale songs that the
whales were singing only about 50 feet away.
We hoped they would surface again, but animals just haven’t been
cooperating with us this trip so it was nothing new! As we made our way back we learned some
traditional chants to encourage each other to make it back to shore before we
wrapped up with more learning. We
learned about traditional Hawaiian greetings, the meaning of some words, and
snapped some photos. It was such an
amazing cultural experience that I would suggest to anyone to do this
excursion!</div>

Once we got back to the hotel we changed into swimsuits and
headed to the water for one last attempt to snorkel. Try as we might, we were unsuccessful at
finding turtles, this time we were told because the water was too choppy. A bit sad, we headed back to the hotel to
shower and hit the road around 11. We
were sad to say goodbye to Hotel Wailea but excited for the road to Hana.</div>

Our first stop on the trip was Paia for lunch. We stopped at Flatbreads which was another
recommendation by the bar tender and it did not disappoint. We got a large pizza to split and got half
and half. Half was the traditional
Hawaiian pizza, Mopsy’s Kalua Pork which was pork shoulder, mango BBQ sauce,
red onions, pineapple, goat cheese, mozzarella, and parmesan, while the other
half was Punctuated Equilibrium which was rosemary, red onion, goat cheese, red
pepper, mozzarella, and herbs. Both were
amazing and we devoured the pizza after so much activity in the morning! After that we stopped by Paia Gelato which I
highly recommend and we thought it was better than the last place! We got tiramisu, cheesecake, and salted
caramel and they were all amazing! Then
it was time to hit the road. <o:p></o:p></div>

Before we actually started the trip to Hana we made a stop
at Ho’okipa Beach which we were told we can definitely see turtles. This time around, we saw so many
turtles! This beach is known as a turtle
resting spot and a huge wind surfing spot (you can’t swim because the waters
are too harsh). We loved getting to see
so many turtles hanging out and crawling out of the water to the shore! After spending some time taking in the
turtles it was time to hit the road.</div>

Joe did a great job pulling together our trip for the day so
we were off at mile 0 on the road to Hana around 1. It was great timing because we were after the
morning rush since we didn’t have to make the trip back at night! This was perfect because we not only didn’t
hit traffic, but there was always parking or time to slow down to enjoy a
view. The first stop was between mile 6
and 7 where it looks like there are painted trees on the side of the road. These are Eucalyptus trees and they are absolutely
amazing. There is a little area to pull
off after the trees and you walk back a ways to see the trees up close and they
are stunning! </div>

From there at mile 9.5 we stopped at Waikamoi Ridge
Trail. This was a walk that took about
30 minutes to go to the top of the trail where you were supposed to enter a
clearing and have stunning views.
Unfortunately, things have definitely grown a lot on this hike and the
views were overgrown by bamboo. That
being said, we loved stretching our legs and got to see some great
lookouts. There were a couple stops
along the way that we had hoped for views but are finding that they are
overgrown so we cannot see what we expected.
This hike was a bit muddy and slippery so be prepared! </div>

From there we stopped at Garden of Eden at 10.5 miles. There is an entrance fee here, we paid
$10/person even though we expected to pay $15/person. I definitely think this is worth a stop as it
is pristine land that showcases all the beautiful flowers, trees, plants, etc.
that Hawaii has to offer. We loved
strolling around for about 30 minutes or so on the paths and taking in the

Next was Kaumhina State Park which we only stopped for a
lookout point at around 12.1 miles. We
weren’t quite sure where the trails were but the lookout was pretty amazing
because you can see Ke’anae Peninsula and village. After that there was a pullout right after
the falls where you could see the Lower Poukokamoa Falls. At mile 14 we expected to be able to hop out
at a couple lookouts to look out onto the by as well as see the winding road to
Hana but unfortunately, at this time everything was overgrown. The next stop was going to be the Ke’anae
Arboretum around mile 16.5 which unfortunately, was closed for the day but we
felt it wasn’t necessary to see since we had done the Garden of Eden.</div>

From there we went to Ke’anae Peninsula which was around
mile 16.8. It can be found right after
the Arboretum where the road splits off.
After about 0.75 miles you come to the beach with beautiful jagged black
rocks rising up out of the water. Hala trees are the only plant that are able
to grow along this coast line so it was quite a site to see.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then it was time to hit up some waterfalls. This is where we were lucky because most of
the falls are seen from one way bridges and either don’t have pull offs or have
very small ones. Since it was getting to be around 4:30 at this time, most of
the round trip Road to Hana people had already turned around and were headed
back so we could drive slow, park on the road, etc. At 19.5 were the Upper Waikani Falls, at mile
24.1 was the Upper Halawi Falls, and at 25 were the Makapipi Falls, and we saw
one other waterfall along the way. All
of them are quite unique and look very different so we loved hopping out for a
bit to not only breathe from all of the winding roads, but explore the
beautiful waterfalls. </div>

After that we decided we would skip over the last two stops,
the Kahanu Garden and Wai’anapanpa State Park since we were pretty worn out
from the day and driving and these were only a couple miles from our next
hotel. We made our way to Travassa which
is one of the only hotels in the area and were greeted with yummy drinks and
got checked in. We got a tour of the
property right as the sun was setting.
It is a very extensive property with tennis courts, a beautiful infinity
pool, lots of grounds, and more to explore.
Once we got settled into the room we headed to dinner around 6 at the
Thai food truck down the road, Ae’s Thai because it was maybe 0.1 miles down
the road from us and a quick walk. We
ordered Cashew Chicken and Chicken Krapow and took it to go. I’m pretty sure my meal weighted over 10 lbs.
but we liked getting back to the room to eat dinner and relax after a long but
scenic day. We knew there was a chance
of some rain later in the week so we planned out what we wanted to do the next
day so we could get as much in over the next couple of sunny days and relax
when it rained!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u>Day 6<o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I woke up around 5 or so and couldn’t go back to sleep and
Joe was up shortly after. Like most
mornings, we relaxed for a bit before walking down to the pool and beach to watch
the sunrise right around 7.
Unfortunately, it was quite overcast so the sunrise wasn’t anything to
write home about, but we enjoyed walking around the property and seeing what it
has to offer. Once we got back to the
room Joe worked for a bit and then we hit the road around 7:45 to go to
Wai’anapanapa State Park. This was the
state park we passed the day before since we wanted to get back to the hotel. Unfortunately, they were working on the road
to the park and there was only one way in so we made our way to Hana Farms. They open at 8:30 but we were there a bit
earlier. We were hoping for a smoothie
but they have fruit “soda” which is fruit juice and mineral water as well as an
assortment of banana breads. We opted
for the chocolate chip banana bread which was actually pretty good, and I
normally hate banana bread! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Once we finished up breakfast we hit the road to Koki Beach
at Mile Marker 51 to see if there were any surfers out. After that we made our
way to Mile Marker 45 where the Wailua Falls are. This is a beautiful waterfall that I think is
one of the prettiest that we saw during our trip. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Once we finished up there it was time for our real morning
activity, hiking Pipiwai Trail in Haleakala National Park. This is at Mile Marker 42 and since it is a
state park, it has a $20 entrance fee.
The hike is about 4 miles (2 miles one way) where you end up at a
beautiful waterfall. The hike was a bit
uphill at the beginning but then the second mile was more flat and was on
boardwalks. This was one of my favorite
hikes that I have ever done since it was a lot of changes of scenery. You start in the forest, and pass the most
amazing tree I have ever seen that has hundreds of roots and is super
wide. After the first mile and some
overlooks you do the second part through a lush bamboo forest where most of the
path is raised up on a boardwalk since the forest is so thick that the ground simply
does not dry out. You finish up the walk
listening to the stream and then come out to the tallest waterfall! Although there were signs that you aren’t
suppose to swim or pass a certain point, everyone seemed to ignore those and
head up to a close up of the waterfall and take a dip. <o:p></o:p></div>

There was another shorter trail shorter trail that is under
a mile and a loop with a couple outshoots that we finished up with. It takes you to a stunning overview to the
pools as well as some waterfalls and a black sand beach with huge waves
crashing below. This was the prettiest
view I have seen during our time hear and we took our time exploring some of
the baths that break off of the main path (making sure we were safe) to get
some really beautiful views. After all
of that hiking, I was pretty worn out when we finished up around noon, just in

We made the 10ish mile trip back to Travassa with a lot more
traffic than we had seen the day before and in the morning. On the way back we stopped at Braddah Hutts
BBQ where we got some ribs and pulled pork, which were both very tasty. The BBQ sauce on the ribs was amazing! After we finished up lunch we got some gas at
the gas station (definitely didn’t fill up since it was $4.75 a gallon!) and
then headed back to the hotel to change into our bathing suits and finish up
the day at the beach relaxing. Travassa
has a view of the beach but it isn’t very sandy so we went to the beach where
they have a stand with chairs and umbrellas.
Once we got there we realized it was Koki Beach where we had started the
days! We got settled in for a little
bit, but around 3 or so the wind picked up and it got a bit chilly since the
sun was behind the clouds.</div>

We headed back to the hotel and sat in the hot tub for an
hour or so (I just stuck my feet in) before heading back to the room to shower
and relax for the evening. Dinner is
very hard to find in this town so we weren’t quite sure what our dinner plans
were. We decided it was best to hunt
down dinner in the daylight so we hit the road around 5:30. We went a ways down the road and realized
that most of the food trucks had packed up for the day so we ventured back
where we ate the night before. Joe was
super excited to find that Ae’s Thai had Penang curry which is his favorite
food so he didn’t mind eating at the same place two nights in a row. I ordered the guava chicken quesadilla from
Surfing Burro which was located in the same parking lot. The guava sauce was amazing and a nice change
to a standard chicken quesadilla. Once
we wrapped up dinner we headed back to the hotel around 6:30 to read, work,
write, etc. until about 8 when we started the bed time routine! We were worn out from the hike and sun but
were also use to our time schedule by now so there was no point in going to bed
later!<o:p></o:p></div>

<b><u>Day 7<o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We were up and at it again in the morning as we had a full
morning planned. We were hoping for an
upper sunny day, but it looked to be misting a little as we started getting
ready for the day. As the sun rose, we
decided the first trip would be a couple hikes from our hotel. We finished up the banana bread that we had
gotten from Hana Farms the day before to hold us over until breakfast. The first was to a secluded Red Sand Beach,
Kaihalulu Beach. We weren’t exactly sure
where we were going but as we followed the narrow path along the coast we
assumed that we were headed in the right direction. This was one of my favorite things we have
done and seen! You come up onto the
beach from the side cliff where we took in the view for a while then walked
down onto the beach. The water was a
beautiful blue against the red sand and it was a stunning site to see. </div>

From there we made our way back to the hotel and started the
walk to Fagan’s Cross which is right across from the hotel. The walk is straight up hill and the cows
were grazing on the hill so it was fun seeing them graze, the calves play, and
most importantly avoid the poop on the trail! It drizzled on and off during the
walk but we were glad to have the sky clear just a bit as we reached the top to
take in the city view of Hana. As we
made our way down we got about 5 minutes away from the hotel and the rain
started coming down pretty hard so we made our way back to the room for a
bit. We got dried off and as quickly as
the rain came, it passed, so we hit the road to Waianapanapa State Park where there
was a black sand beach. </div>

Along the way we stopped at Hana Fresh, which had fantastic
reviews but was only open on the week day from 10:30 to 2. It was still raining a bit when we got there
so Joe and I ordered two different yogurt bowls which both were amazing. One had seasonal fruits with fresh yogurt and
the other had apples, agave, and cinnamon with fresh yogurt. Both of them were super yummy and just what
we needed for breakfast. We headed along
our way to the black sand beach once we finished up since the rain had
cleared. It was nice because we got
there before anyone else was there (most likely waiting out the rain showers)
so we got to explore without too many people around. There is a cave right as
you get down to the beach on the right which was really cool, then we explored
and hiked the rocks beyond the black sand beaches. As we finished up, it was getting close to 1
so we decided to head to lunch. Since we
hadn’t eaten that long ago, I stopped at Hana Fresh along the way for a fresh
smoothie for lunch with blueberries, raspberries, and pineapple. Joe went to Da Fish Shack where he got fish
and chips (and I helped him out a bit) which were quite tasty! </div>

Once we finished up lunch we headed back to the hotel to
take in the rest of the day by the pool relaxing. It wasn’t sunny out but it was warm and the
beach scenery was beautiful. We headed
back to the room around 4:30 and got showered up and ready for dinner since we
had a bit of a lite lunch. We headed to
dinner at East Side Pizza where they make brick oven pizza. We were a bit before the rush so we didn’t
have to wait long to get our pizza which we ate there. We ordered the traditional Hawaiian pizza and
cheesy bread sticks (which is pretty much just a cheese pizza). As we ate we realized there was no way that
we would finish the pizza so we asked them if we could take it to go. They wrapped up the remaining pizza and
bread-sticks in banana leaves which was really cute!</div>

On the way hope I said I wished that they had ice cream
somewhere in Hana so we decided to venture to the General Store down the street
from the hotel to check it out and see if they have ice cream. We did manage to get our hands on some ice
cream. As we ventured back to the hotel,
we relaxed for a bit then headed to bed, hopefully that we don’t get rained out
the whole day like the weather forecast had predicted!<o:p></o:p></div>

<b><u>Day 8<o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
During the night the weather was super windy and rainy. Since there is no AC in the hotel, we sleep
with all of the windows open, which normally isn’t a problem since Hana is a
quiet town, but the wind made it quite noisy.
I was up pretty early but Joe slept until about 7 or so, which was late
for us! Once the sun rose we started
seeing that it was actually pretty sunny out so we needed to make some plans
for the day since we had expected for it to rain all day! We decided to head back to the black sand
beach and explore some of the other areas we hadn’t walked the day before as
well as visit the lava tubes. At around
8:30 we headed out for the day, unsure as to how long we would have before the
rain started.<o:p></o:p></div>

We got Waianapanapa State Park which was still very quiet
and only a few campers had started moving around. First we walked the path that takes you to
the fresh water cave. This is a loop and
probably a mile or so but there are so many caves and hidden nooks to
explore. After that we walked along the
coastal path to see some of the blow holes and explore a little more. As we finished up, we brought a beach blanket
and headed down to Pailoa beach to relax for an hour or so since the sun was
out and the weather was beautiful (although it gets hot quick because of the
black sand!). Around 10:45 we decided to
head to the Hana Lava Tube. The entrance
fee was $12.50 per person and you were given a bit of instructions and a flashlight
and then were left to explore. The lava
tube is all underground and beautiful to see!
The path is well laid out and there are boards along the way to help
explain what we were looking at. We
loved walking around at our own pace, looking at all of the beautiful lava
structures. <o:p></o:p></div>

It took about 30 minutes and once we wrapped up it was
12:00. We were super please that it
still wasn’t raining so Joe grabbed lunch at Troys where he ordered the Korean
BBQ Chicken and stuffed Ono along with brown rice and salad. I grabbed a blueberry and pear smoothie from
the stand next to Troys and then we headed back to the hotel to eat lunch and
head to the pool to take in some sun. We
sat at the pool for a bit then headed back to the hotel since it looked like it
might rain. As we got back to the room
the sky cleared up so I took the lawn chair out on the back lawn and read for a
while. At 2 I decided I had gotten
enough sun for the day so I joined Joe on the back porch (to catch up on
writing) before we decided to take a stroll around the resort since we hadn’t
really taken the opportunity to do that yet!
As we roamed around we came across the activity room where we took the
opportunity to play some shuffle board, foosball, connect 4, and Ping-Pong. After we had sufficiently played all of the
games we went and strolled around the beautiful art gallery they have and then
headed back to the room. We finished up
the afternoon sitting on the back porch relaxing and planning out our last day
before heading to dinner.<o:p></o:p></div>

Since it was a Saturday, it was really hard to find a dinner
spot that was open so we decided to just walk to Surfin Burro which was right
down the street from us. It rained on
and off while we made our way there and back.
Joe opted for the spicy pulled pork burrito while I had the guava
chicken burrito. We made our way back to
the room and enjoyed dinner. The
burritos were huge and we both struggled finishing them but they were
amazing! After dinner we started pulling
some things together to get packing then headed to bed.<o:p></o:p></div>

This was our last day in Maui before making the trek back to
Atlanta. The Falcons were in the NFC
championship so we wanted to be able to watch it. Travassa does not have TVs anywhere and there
aren’t any sports bars in Hana so we decided that we would hit the road in the
morning back to civilization. We
finished up the banana bread we had bought from Hana Farms and some of the
snacks before getting packed up. We hit
the road around 9:45 or so since it would take about an hour and a half to two
hours to make our way back. <o:p></o:p></div>

Our first stop was at Hana Farms to pick up some more banana
bread (can you tell we really liked it!) to bring back with us, and then
started the trip. It was supposed to
rain the whole day again so we were happy to find it just drizzled on and
off. We also hit the road pretty early
so we didn’t run into too much traffic on the way out until the end of the trip
where we met quite a few people that were starting the trip to Hana! There isn’t much internet on the road so we
couldn’t follow the game. When we
finally got service we were pleased to see the Falcons dominating! I was
relieved to make it to Piai because I was starting to feel a little bit car
sick since the baby was moving all around the whole trip. We found a spot to park in Piai (they can be
hard to find!) and headed to Rock & Brews for lunch. We walked in just as the second half of the
Falcons game started, perfect timing! We
settled in for the second half of the game and grabbed some lunch. I had a mushroom Swiss burger and Joe got a
burger with avocado and bacon which were both really good. Once the game started looking like it was in
the bag we headed out (around 1:15 our time) to do some souvenir shopping.<o:p></o:p></div>

We found a super cute wood turtle that we thought would go
perfect in the nursery next to the elephant we have from Thailand. After that we headed to the beach to relax
for a bit. We went back to Ho’okipa
Beach so I could see more turtles and we were so pleasantly surprised not only
to find turtles, but a Hawaiian Monk Seal which is an endangered species just
laying out in the sun sleeping! The seal
was so cute and would lift its head on occasions and then lie right back down,
content to bask in the sun. After
hanging out with the turtles we pulled out the beach blanket and relaxed for
about an hour. It sprinkled on and off
but was warm and sunny for the most part.
Around 3:30 we decided to head to Maui Brewing.<o:p></o:p></div>

Maui Brewing was about 30 minutes away so we headed there
since our dinner reservations weren’t until 6:45 at Mama’s Fish House (known as
the best restaurant in Hawaii). We were
enjoying drinks (well Joe was) when we got notified that our flight had been
delayed until midnight, which meant that we would miss our next flight. We decided to venture back to the beach to
watch the sun set around 6 and get dressed for dinner. I had called Delta to see if we can get
rebooked for another flight (hopefully a direct flight to Atlanta) but there
was a two hour call wait and I was not asked to leave a call back number. I stayed on the line as we drove around and
watched the sun set. It wasn’t super pretty but it was nice to relax a bit
after being on the go all day.<o:p></o:p></div>

Around 6:30 we headed to dinner since it was right next to
the beach. Joe grabbed a drink at the
bar while we waited. Unfortunately, we
didn’t get seated until 7:10 or so, so we were both starving. Luckily we had plenty of time! Jonathan, our server was wonderful, so it
made up for the delay in the reservation and was very patient with explaining
the menu and giving suggestions. After
much debate, we ended up ordering crab cakes crusted with macadamia nut for an
appetizer which was amazing. I got the
seafood bouillabaisse which had so many different fishes, crab claws, huge
scallops, mahi-mahi, shrimp, and the most amazing saffron broth. Joe ordered one of the local fishes that had
been caught that day. The food was
amazing and we were both stuffed by the end.
We also had yummy bread and tried poi since we were feeling
adventurous. We finished up dinner
around 9 and still weren’t sure how we were getting back to Atlanta so we
started making our way back to the airport. <o:p></o:p></div>

We had to stop at Paia Gelato on the way to the airport
since we had to fill the car up with gas anyways and it was right next
door. We got cheesecake, salted caramel,
and cookies and cream since they didn’t have tiramisu. We got our car cleaned up and settled (we had
stuff everywhere) and then headed to the airport. We got the car dropped off just before 10 and
headed to the Delta counter so we could see if we can get rebooked. At the counter they said that there was a
chance we could still make the layover if we made up time in the air and the
plane got flipped quickly enough for us to leave earlier than the delay, but
they put us on a backup flight direct from Seattle to Atlanta at 10:15. We weren’t sure if that meant we were booked
for that flight or if we had to run to catch the other flight since they
weren’t clear, but our SFO flights were no longer on our Delta app.<o:p></o:p></div>

We didn’t take off early like they had hoped, but once we
took off we were still scheduled to land just as our SFO flight was meant to
take off. Joe got a great night sleep
while I tossed and turned on the freezing flight, but we made it to Seattle,
not sure what our plan was. Joe saw the
SFO flight was delayed which would cause us to miss our flight to Atlanta, but
we knew that there was an ATL flight at 8:10 (we got to the gate at about
7:50). Joe was a risk taker so he walked
up to the ATL gate that was just a bit from where we got to the airport, and
decided to check if there was a way we could get to flight and get home
early! Lucky for us, there were two
seat available (both middle seats) and the doors were closing in 2 minutes so
we had to make up our mind quick. We
decided to go for it and make our way home even though our luggage wouldn’t
make it until the later flight! We will
cross that bridge when we get there. We
were just happy to be getting home a bit earlier than expected so that I could
get repacked for a sales trip the next day!<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<b><u>Summary</u></b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Maui in January is amazing and it saves you a lot of money. Our flights were incredibly cheap (we actually used miles) and hotels were less expensive too</li>
<li>The weather in January is perfect, it is not too hot and not too cold, so you are able to hike and explore without worrying about overheating</li>
<li>Hawaii in general is a perfect babymoon destination because it is Zika free so make sure to keep that in mind if you are trying to get pregnant or pregnant looking for a warm place to babymoon in the winter months!</li>
<li>Although Travassa had great reviews, we were not impressed and I don't think I would recommend it. Patrick was the only concierge that was a 5 star experience, and without turn down service or any extras, it seemed a bit excessive to be paying $500 a night for the least expensive room they had.</li>
<li>Rent a car! We loved having the flexibility to explore and saved a lot of money doing a little research and exploring on our own. It also gave us the luxury of going to so many amazing restaurants that were not within walking distance of the hotel.</li>
<li>In Hana, venture out to the food trucks (if you have a car). Not only will it save you money but the food and atmosphere is amazing and from what we heard, the food is much better than at the hotel for 1/3 the cost!</li>
<li>Hana Farms has the best banana bread ever, even if you hate banana bread like I do!</li>
<li>In January you see TONS of whales!</li>
<li>Hotel Wailea is amazing and the service is over the top, from the valets to the bar tenders, we were always greeted with a smile, water, and always felt welcome</li>
<li>Unless you get free breakfast at Hotel Wailea, although it is good, it is super overpriced and the portions are small. We had a $50 voucher and it didn't get us more than two meals that were on the lower side of cost when it came to the menu!</li>
<li>Book the outrigger canoe trip as soon as you get there if you can because it books up early and was one of our favorite experiences!</li>
<li>The bar tenders at Hotel Wailea will give you amazing recommendations from hiking to meal options to happy hours!</li>
<li>All in all, Maui was the perfect combination of relaxing and exploring!</li>
</ul>

They were so amazing to watch! After that it was time to try and get some sleep since we only have 4 hours left. I fell asleep for about 2 hours and then dozed for another hour.

There was an Icelandic soccer game on TV so it was cool getting to watch the game with the locals watching it as well. There, we ordered some drinks and tea and then Joe and I got horse and a lamb chop while Duncan and Allie got horse and ribs. The food was good, not great, but we were all pleasantly surprised with the horse. It seemed like a mixture between a steak and lamb since it was a bit more gamey than steak. We didn’t stay until the end of the game since I was ready to head to bed. We got back to the room and I went to bed while the others enjoyed a couple drinks before calling it a night.</span><span class="EOP SCX251404454" style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </span></div>

They were so sweet and the guides were fantastic.</span><span class="EOP SCX251404454" style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </span></div>

You start with soup and bread, which was amazing. It was a buttery fish soup that was super tasty. After that you wait about 30 minutes for the fish servings.

They were all prepared differently, one a blackened style, teriyaki, a Mediterranean one, and so much more. There were also different side options, from small potatoes to veggies and potatoes salad. It was all you can eat and everyone agreed that it was one of the best fish meals we have had. The fish were so fresh and incredibly flavorful.

Along the drive there were stunning views and we stopped multiple times to take in the views, especially since the weather was so nice out. We didn’t even need our heavy winter coats! When we got to the top of the mountains looking down on the red sand beach it was one of the prettiest views we have seen in Iceland. The water was pretty low so the sandbars were visible through the bright blue water. We continued down to the beach very slowly (we were stuck behind a super slow driver) which made the gravel road even worse since we took every bump slowly. Once we got to the bottom there is a small sign that indicates a walking path out to the beaches. It was about a ½ mile walk to where you could actually get to the beach but the path is flat and beautiful. It is so cool to see the grass multiple colors and the wheat almost had a purple color to it. We spent some time hanging out on the beach before making the trek back.</span><span class="EOP SCX251404454" style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </span></div>

When we got there it was a bit of a wait so we hung out at the bar before getting seated. The restaurant is quite popular so make sure you get there early because they eventually stopped taking reservations! For dinner, I ordered the reindeer burger which was amazing. Allie got a salmon salad which she enjoyed, and Joe and Duncan both ordered fin whale. Fin whale is a whale that can grow up to 89 feet long and has been banned from killing in a lot of countries but Iceland remains one of the largest exporters of Fin Whale. It does not taste like fish at all but more like a steak and the rest of the group loved it! It tastes so different from anything we had eaten before and they definitely enjoyed it. After dinner we headed back to the house where Joe and I went to bed, trying to recover and get healthy some day, and Duncan and Allie went to the bars. They had a great time enjoying the night life and met some friendly Canadians from Montreal.</span><span class="EOP SCX251404454" style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </span></div>

We got seated immediately and ordered the same thing. We started with smoked puffin which was actually quite good but tasted more like liver and even looked like liver. After that we got an order of lamb shoulder which was a pound of lamb and some fantastic waffle fries. It was a huge chunk of meat and a great amount to split between two people. Once we finished up we headed home but had one more stop. We stopped by the ice cream and hot-dog shop right outside of the restaurant and got chocolate dipped ice cream cones for the walk home.

Once we got there there were also other cars waiting since it seems that thy had the same idea. It hasn’t been clear at night since we got to Iceland so this was the one chance we got to see the lights! Once we parked it was time to play the waiting game. Full sun down was around 10:00 and then the cloud coverage was supposed to fully clear at 12:00. We had read plenty of articles that people showed up when they thought the conditions were “perfect” and missed the lights so we were making sure we wouldn’t miss them! I put the back seat down and lied down in the trunk while we started waiting. Around 11:15 or so you could see the lights start glowing a bit but the clouds were blocking them from coming through so you could only see small portions of them through the slits in the clouds.

First they were faint, and one by one people started getting out of the car (it was super cold and windy out so you stayed in the car as long as possible). Before we knew it, the lights were in full swing dancing in front of us. They were visible for about 45 minutes and we sat out and watched them. They weren’t as bright as they were on our flight but they were definitely bright enough and we even got to see them moving around and dancing a bit! They faded around 12:40 or so and we decided we were frozen enough and had gotten our fill of the northern lights so we headed home to bed!

After we tried to get on an earlier flight home (unfortunately it was full) we headed to lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings. If you can’t tell, there isn’t much chicken in Iceland so we were all in need of a good chicken meal. It might have been the worst service ever (it took at least 30 minutes for them to take our order and another 30-45 minutes to get our food) and we were one of about 5 people in the restaurant but luckily we had a long lay over. After we finished up we still had about 20 minutes so I went to grab a cupcake and then it was time to board. The flight to Atlanta took off a couple minutes late but we were airborne before we new it and headed home!

This past Sunday was Father's Day and we enjoyed spending time with my Father-in-law. We spent the day relaxing and the boys did some house work, but in the middle of the day we decided we had to make a desert. After playing 10 questions we decided on a chocolate and fruit combination. Joe did some research and this is the recipe we settled on. This has to be one of my all time favorite recipes. It turned out perfect with a couple tricks here and there. It's not the easiest recipe but definitely worth taking the time to make it. With it being summer time, raspberries are super sweet and the flavors are amazing! Enjoy!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Pour 1/3 cup batter into each paper liner. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Leave cupcakes in tin for 5 minutes before removing onto a cooling rack. Meanwhile, prepare the frosting and ganache.</div>

Puree the 1/2 cup raspberries in a food process, blender, or with a hand blender. If you blend more then you will simply need to add more powdered sugar until frosting is desired consistancy.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-image-outset: initial; border-image-repeat: initial; border-image-slice: initial; border-image-source: initial; border-image-width: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.3; padding: 0px 0px 18px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Beat butter and cream cheese together until smooth. Add powdered sugar a little at a time while beating and cream for 2-3 minutes. Add raspberry puree and vanilla and beat until completely combined. Add more powdered sugar to bowl if you feel like the icing is not thick enough. Place frosting into a pastry bag fitted with a piping tip. If you feel the icing is runny, place in fridge for 10 minutes.</div>

For the Ganache:</h4>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-image-outset: initial; border-image-repeat: initial; border-image-slice: initial; border-image-source: initial; border-image-width: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.3; padding: 0px 0px 18px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Heat whipping cream in the microwave for 40-60 seconds until hot. Place chocolate in a bowl and pour hot whipping cream on top. Let it sit for two minutes and then stir until smooth. Let the ganache come to room temperature (about 10-15 minutes) before applying to cupcakes. If you would like for it to thicken more you can put it in the fridge but make sure to mix periodically so it does not harden.</div>

To Assemble:</h4>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-image-outset: initial; border-image-repeat: initial; border-image-slice: initial; border-image-source: initial; border-image-width: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.3; padding: 0px 0px 18px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Once the cupcakes have cooled, spoon 1-2 teaspoons ganache onto each cupcake, spreading it to almost the edge of the cupcake. Pipe frosting on top of each cupcake and then spoon 1 teaspoon over the top and press a berry in. Serve immediately. Cupcakes with berries on that are not eaten within a few hours should be refrigerated. Another option is to store the cupcakes at room temperature in an air tight container and add the raspberries just before serving.</div>

With me getting a new job and Joe being busy at work, the craziness of life seemed to allow Memorial Day weekend come out of nowhere which meant another trip for us. Thursday morning, we got up bright and early to catch our 5:30 AM flight.

The room was quite roomy with the two beds and we had our own sink which was nice! Since we did not grab dinner at the restaurant we opted for dinner on the train. They brought by menus and we ordered from our cabin and got it delivered to our room so we didn’t have to worry about leaving our luggage. Joe and I decided to split two meals, the cashew chicken and the sweet and sour chicken. Both came with a duck curry, fruit, rice, and a salad so it was plenty of food. After dinner we relaxed a bit more and then they came to make our beds. Once the beds were made and the sun had set we decided the day was long enough and we could go to bed. </span><span class="EOP SCX44026217" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-user-select: text; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </span></span></div>

That gave us about an hour to open our window and enjoy the country side and watch the sun rise. We arrived at the station sometime after 7 and got off. The station was really pretty and clean! On our way out we stopped by the tourist desk to grab a map and they offered us a taxi to our hotel for 150 Baht. That was less than expected so we hopped into a guys car and headed to our hotel. After he stopped for directions a couple times we finally made it to our hotel around 8. We stayed at the Bodhi Hotel which was inside the old city walls. We wanted to make sure we were walkable to things so it was a perfect location. Once we got checked they took our luggage since our room wasn’t ready and we headed to breakfast at Chiang Mai breakfast world which was one of the best breakfast places near us.

To start, if they are wagging their tail and flapping their ears they are happy. You also have to look if they have dirt on them because that means they laid down to sleep and got a great night sleep! After that you look around their cuticles (by their toes) and if it is wet around them they are sweating which is a good sign! They only sweat around their cuticles! Last, you check their poop, and yes our guide checked the pool! The poops come out like coconuts and they must have more than 4 coconut sized poops so you know they are eating enough. The poop must be yellow and not black, because if it is black then they eat too much mud. It also doesn’t smell if they are healthy which is crazy! Last, there must be a lot of water in the poop, so our guide demonstrated by wringing it out (so gross!). Once we checked to make sure our elephants were happy and friendly it was bath time!</span><span class="EOP SCX44026217" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-user-select: text; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </span></span></div>

Because our elephants loved us by now, they helped us get on. You can get on by grabbing their ear then they lift their leg to make a great stepping ladder to get on. You can also stand in front and they will lift you up on their trunk to their backs! Once we all got up we started trekking through the river. The first ride was about 45 minutes through the river to our lunch spot. Lunch was the most amazing spread I have seen! There were so many beautiful fruits that I had no idea what they were, the best crispy chicken, and then a lot of different rice and coconut concoctions and deserts including fried bananas. I was obsessed with the fruit and enjoyed the best banana I have ever had! We ate for about an hour before our elephants were called back and we got to feed them our left overs! The baby loved getting the bananas and fried bananas while the adults got the rest of the left overs that were wrapped up in packages of banana leaves which were our table clothes. Once fed they got rinsed off again before we started the trek back. </span><span class="EOP SCX44026217" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-user-select: text; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </span></span></div>

After breakfast we both got dressed for the day since we had a cooking class to go to! The cooking class we decided on was Thai Farm Cooking School which is an organic farm that also has cooking classes. We were picked up around 8:45 and then picked up another couple people before heading to the farm. Again, we had quite a great crew, two girls who were heading on vacation before both going to grad school, one to Harvard Med School and the other to Duke. Another was a mother daughter pair who was in Thailand for her daughters graduation trip and the mother was a consultant to some fortune 500 companies and professor and the daughter was heading to a really cool startup. We love listening to people’s backgrounds, where they have traveled, and just discussing their lives. It is so cool hearing from others that love to travel just as much as us.</span><span class="EOP SCX44026217" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-user-select: text; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </span></span></div>

After lounging around for a while we headed down to breakfast before heading back up to the room to pack. We were heading to Phuket in the morning and wanted to make sure we got to the airport with plenty of time. Once we got checked out we took a taxi for 180 Baht to the airport. The drive was quicker than we thought but it was nice getting there without any rush. Once we got there we dropped off our checked bags with AirAsia. We prepaid our luggage per kilo since I know it is much cheaper that way and only cost you a couple dollars for 55 kilos of luggage. Since we had enough luggage allowance we checked our roller board as well. For a low cost Asian airline, everyone was very pleasant and the lines were quick and easy to get through. We had about an hour once we got through security before boarding so we relaxed a bit before boarding.</span><span class="EOP SCX44026217" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-user-select: text; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </span></span></div>

The resort was absolutely stunning and checking in with a view of the crystal blue water was amazing. After getting our flower bracelets to welcome us we walked to our villa. At this hotel we had opted for a private villa with a beach view which gave us a bit of privacy since it was up a bit from the beach but we still had a stunning view. </span><span class="EOP SCX44026217" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-user-select: text; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </span></span></div>

There is a his and hers side to the closet so we can both unpack our stuff. Let me tell you, for the small space that the villa has, this is a stunning room! Once we got settled in we enjoyed our assorted fruit plate (again I have no idea what I am eating but it is all amazing) and then got dressed and headed down to the beach. We weren’t there more than about 30 minutes when the storms rolled in, so we walked back up to our room. Before we knew it, the storms had passed so we headed back down to the beach for some more sun and beach walking. Around 5:30 we headed up to complementary tea and appetizer hour where they had some fruits, Thai bruschetta, and various other bite sized Thai snacks and tea. We munched on some snacks since we hadn’t eaten lunch and then headed back to our room. We got showered and changed for the night and then headed back to the pool bar to watch the stunning sun set. Since the storms had passed there were beautiful clouds in the sky making for an amazing sun set while Joe enjoyed a drink. Once the sun had set (around 7) it was time to head to dinner. The resort has two dinner spots and since we booked directly with the resort we got a free dinner for two. We decided to eat dinner at the beach restaurant which was pretty empty when we arrived. </span><span class="EOP SCX44026217" style="background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </span></span></span></div>

Seriously as we would leave places the rain would come and then we would head to sunshine! The only time it rained was we were snorkeling and then the boat ride home. When we got onto the boat to head home we knew we were in for a rough hour and 15 minute ride. The waves were 10 feet waves that we had to make our way through, but I have to tell you the captain of the ship was amazing! I have never seen someone navigate waves like he did and although it was rough, it was as smooth as he could possibly make it! We made it back eventually, and then made the trip back home. We got back a little after 4 and were greeted by the friendly hotel staff. It was now officially raining so we headed back to our room to shower and relax for a bit before dinner. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day to explore the islands!</span><span class="EOP SCX44026217" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-user-select: text; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </span></span></div>

There were free drinks (so who can pass that up) and super yummy passed hors d’oeuvres like the prawns from the night before and other things to much on.

<b><u>Travel Day</u></b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After a long work week for both Joe and I, we were excited
to head on vacation on Friday afternoon.
I stopped by Sprouts on the way home and picked up some prepared BBQ
chicken and some vegetable sides to take with us for dinner on the flight. We had a 6:30 flight so we took an Uber to
Marta and then took Marta to the airport.
After about a 30 minute wait for
the Marta, it finally arrived. Stressed
every step of the way, we finally made it to the airport after a slow last
couple of stops. We made it with about
50 minutes to drop off our luggage and get through security. We rushed to get our luggage checked in, then
got to security. You never know what to
expect when you get to the security line on a Friday. Luckily, it wasn’t super long and we got through
in about 20 minutes or so. We hurried to
the tram which took us to terminal D, then made it just as the last people were
boarding! Perfect timing, but a bit too
much stress for me.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The rest of the trip was uneventful. We flew Alaskan Air from ATL to Seattle and
then on to Vancouver. We landed in
Seattle and had just over an hour layover, so we didn’t have too much down time
between landing and taking off again.
The one thing I have to say is that we were unimpressed with the Seattle
Airport! I guess we are spoiled with how
clean Atlanta is kept. We boarded an incredibly
small propeller plane and headed to Vancouver.
It was such a short trip, and we landed before we knew it. Super tired since it was round midnight in
Vancouver (3 PM in our mind), we made it through security super quick and
grabbed a cab. The cab has a minimum
charge of 20 Canadian dollars even though we were only going about 5 minutes to
the Hilton next to the airport, but at this point we did not care. We got checked in and then immediately
crashed. <o:p></o:p></div>

<b><u>Day 1</u></b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We woke up around 7 AM after a short night sleep but managed
to catch about another hour of sleep before we got moving. Joe got some work done in the morning and
then we headed down to the hotel breakfast.
After breakfast we ventured to the Winnners which is the TJ Maxx of
Canada to find Joe some shorts to sleep in and a bathing suit. With everything we packed we missed some
essentials, but were lucky to have stores within walking distance. After our shopping trip we headed to the
hotel and picked up our luggage then walked about 6 or so blocks to the train
station to go into downtown Vancouver. We purchased a day pass for the train which
was very reasonable, $9.75 a person. We took the train to the Vancouver City
Center which took about 30 minutes, and then walked another 6 or so blocks to
our hotel. We were staying at the
Sheraton so we were lucky our room was ready around 11 or so and we dropped our
stuff off then headed out to explore Vancouver.<o:p></o:p></div>

Although it was forecasted to rain all week, we woke up to partly cloudy skies and beautiful weather. Our first stop was Granville Island. We hopped on the bus down the street from us after some help from locals finding the temporary bus stop and then headed to the Island. We got off and initially simply explored. We went in some local shops, enjoyed the view of the Vancouver skyline, strolled through the market, and played in the park. After a couple of hours of exploring it was time to sit down for a late lunch. We found Tony’s Fish and Oyster Café, which was a super quant and quiet restaurant that only seated about 15 people at most. We had a bit of a wait, but it was worth it! Joe and I ordered the seafood platter for two, because I said while we were in Vancouver I was eating all the seafood in the world! On the platter we got a very hardy serving of fish and chips (the fish was cod), fried oysters, mussles, clams, scallops, and crab legs, as well as some coleslaw. Everything was amazing but I have to say the clams may have been the best clams I have ever had! After lunch we found the train stop and headed to Stanley Park. We got turned around a bit making it to the park and stopped by a Starbucks for some internet and hot tea before finding the next bus that would take us to the park. Once at the park, we explored the right side of the park which had the totem poles and light house. The stroll was absolutely beautiful, viewing the Vancouver skyline, enjoying the sunshine, and taking in all of the activity. We saw the very tail end of a rugby match which was cool, and then closed out the loop. After we finished the loop in the park we headed to English Bay Beach to watch the sunset. We were not the only ones to have that idea because the beach was packed, but it was really neat because they had tree trunks lied on the beach to serve as chairs. After watching the sun set we took the bus back to near our hotel and did some more shopping. There are so many stores around our hotel but I needed to get some ski gloves which had proven to be hard to find since everyone had sales on all of the winter gear. After a couple failed trips we finally found some at the North Face store which aren’t perfect but they will work! We also failed at finding me a bathing suit but we hope to find something soon! We finished up shopping and headed back to the hotel<br />

We got to our room and saw that Duncan and Allie had arrived
a couple minutes before us! We said our
hellos and then planned dinner. Dinner
was at Kaide Sushi, which was a bit of a walk, but worth it! Joe got a combo box and I got a Salmon sushi
roll which was a new special with Salmon, Asparagus, Avocado, and some other
goodies inside and topped with Salmon. I
also got a tuna roll with avocado and lemon which was tasty. Even the Miso Soup was yummy!!! It was a perfect choice for dinner and some
of the most fresh sushi I have ever had.
We walked back from dinner and attempted to find a store that sold beer
but after a couple failed attempts and 15+ miles that we had already walked in
one day, I was ready to get back to the hotel.
Allie and I headed back and Duncan and Joe ventured back out to
investigate where beer was sold. They
came back after just under an hour with a failed mission but some wine. We all wound down and headed to bed, ready
for another fun day in Vancouver tomorrow!</div>

<b><u>Day 2</u></b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We were all awake pretty early in the morning due to the
time change. After relaxing for a bit
and allowing the sun to come up, we headed out to breakfast. In true Canadian fashion, we had to head to
Tim Hortons. I must say the donut I had
was super yummy, it was chocolate glazed with a carmel filling. We all got breakfast sandwiches and then headed
to our first adventure. We headed to the
Hyatt hotel to get picked up by the free shuttle to take us to the Capilano
Hanging Bridges. We just missed the ride
so we hung around for half an hour at the Hyatt before catching the next
shuttle. At 9:30 we boarded the shuttle and were off! Our driver, Ross was a wonderful tour guide
for the short 30 minute drive and explained some really neat facts about
Vancouver. Once we arrived we quickly
bought our tickets (35 Canadian Dollars) and then headed inside. We started with the hanging bridge
section. The first bridge you cross is the
highest and the longest one and it offers breathtaking views. We spent some time on the bridge before going
on. After the bridge there are series of
nature walks that showcase the old trees and different vegetation. You also get to do a treetop tour where there
is a series of tree top hanging bridges that give you a wonderful birds eye
view. We had so much fun exploring the
hanging bridge section. <o:p></o:p></div>

After the hanging bridges they have a cliff walk with is an incredibly
narrow pathway with glass and wiring on both sides and you walk suspended over
the cliff and hundreds of feet above the river. . I thought this was more
intimidating than the hanging bridges, especially the lookout sections where
you can see through the bottom! Luckily
none of us are afraid of heights so we all had a good time looking around our
surroundings and enjoying the scenery.
After you do the cliff walk you wrap back around to to the main area via
a nature trail. Once we got back we
explored the gift shop and Duncan and Allie bought some mugs. Then we all
enjoyed some fresh made fudge before heading back to Vancouver. The ride back wasn’t nearly as entertaining
but we made it back safe and sound!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Once we got back we stopped by Forever 21 to get me a
bathing suit before heading to lunch around 1.
We hailed a cab and headed to The Flying Pig, which was highly
reviewed. We learned that cab rides
outside of the airport are super cheap and the 4 of us had a less than 10
dollar cab ride on all of our trips! We
figure with all 4 of us this was a cheaper means of transportation than public
transportation. At Flying Pig we sat
down and enjoyed an amazing lunch. Joe
and I got the salmon sampler to start which had 4 different prepared salmon
servings and each one was amazing. For
our meals, I had a blackened trout over a salad which was incredibly good and
Joe enjoyed his Parmesan crusted chicken which was tasty as well. Allie had the salmon appetizer for lunch
while Duncan had a braised pork pasta.
We were all super stuffed so we headed out to explore more of
Vancouver. We took a cab to Granville
Island and walked in and out of some of Joe and I’s favorite shops from the day
before it started raining. We had been
lucky the rain had held off until 3 since only a few days before we headed to
Vancouver it was supposed to rain all Saturday and Sunday! With the rain we headed into the Granville
Island Brewing Company where everyone enjoyed a couple flights of beer, where
you would get 4 servings for 7 dollars.
Everyone was a big fan of the winter beer which was filled with
chocolatey honey flavors. After the rain
stopped and we finished up the beers we headed back to the hotel to relax. We all got into our bathing suits and headed
to the hot tub for a while to relax our leg from two long days of walking and
exploring. <o:p></o:p></div>

We then got ready for dinner and headed out. We got to Rodney’s Oyster House and started
the most awkward, amazing, and entertaining dining experience of our lives, but
it was topped off by the most amazing oysters in the world (we thought this was
a bold statement when we got there but we now agree!). From the beginning, when we got there the
greeting was awkward (dry Canadian humor), but they pulled together some tables
to accommodate us even though we did not have a reservation. Once sat, the head waiter talked to us about
where we were from, why we were there, how we found them, and everything else,
then said he would take care of us. They
had 10 different oysters available, all fresh that day. We put our trust in them since each oyster
was 2-3 dollars and told them to help us out.
We started with 3 different oysters and when we were served they brought
out about 5 different sauces to flavor your oysters with, all of which were
amazing. We had never tasted different
oysters back to back and we loved it.
Some were east coast oysters from Prince Edward Island while others were
west coast. It was amazing how different
the flavors were when eating them back to back but we absolutely loved all of
them. I am not kidding you cannot beat the oysters here. We then enjoyed some New Englad Clam Chowder
which was filled with clams and yumminess.
Throughout all of this waiters would come by and ask us about where we
were from, how we enjoyed our food, etc.
We then got a complimentary Oysters Rockefeller which were quite tasty
and we ate them right up! We then
proceeded to order some mussels and 12 more oysters. The food was amazing, the
atmosphere was electric, the servers were beyond friendly, and we had the best
dining experience of our lives, for a very reasonable price! We started our walk back home after dinner,
stopping by cold stone for desert (ice cream sandwiches) before heading back to
the hotel for the night. We all packed
our things and called it an early night since we had an early morning the next
day.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u>Day 3</u></b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We got an incredibly early wake up call at 5:45 AM hand had
to get moving quick since we had a bus to catch at 6:20. Luckily the bus stop was right outside of our
hotel so after getting packed we headed out just in time to catch the bus to
Whistler. We watched the sun rise and
the beautiful scenery on the drive, which took less than 2 hours. We pulled into the Community Center Stop
where we were dropped off by our Epic Rides bus. We just missed our shuttle to the hotel so we
waited about 25 minutes for the hotel shuttle to arrive before heading to the
hotel. We were staying at Anita Lake
Hotel and Spa for the next 5 nights. We
arrived incredibly early so our room wasn’t ready but we checked in our luggage
before heading out to breakfast.
Breakfast was at Southside Diner which was a quick walk from our
hotel. I had a California Sandwich while
Joe had a breakfast sampler with eggs, bacon, ham, and potatoes. Allie had some stuffed French toast which was
amazing while Duncan had breakfast poutine.
After we were sufficiently stuffed we walked back to the hotel and put
some warmer clothes on before heading to Whistler Village on the shuttle. Allie and Duncan were doing dog sleds at noon
so we headed to Whistler Village and Joe and I explored the village for about
an hour and a half, looked at some shops, and got the lay of the land. The last 30 minutes we headed into El
Furniture Warehouse where everything is $4.99.
The place was packed so we sat at the bar and ordered a French dip
sandwich and poutine. It was crazy how
cheap it was for a relatively good meal.
We will definitely be back! After lunch we shuttled back to the hotel
and then got picked up by Black Comb Snow Mobile and Dog Sledding and headed to
our dog sledding adventure. After we
arrived and were briefed we were off! We
started by meeting all of the puppies and greeting them. After that Joe and I got settled into our
cocoon and were off. We took in the
scenery for a while then it was our turn to mush! I started and finished up the first half of
the trip, taking a few stops along the way to let the dogs rest. We had a beautiful view at the top of the
mountain before heading back. Joe got
the pleasure of mushing back. We loved
the whole experience and our musher was a wealth of knowledge. Once we arrived back at the base (about an
hour of a ride) we got to play with 5 puppies that were only a couple weeks
old! They were seriously the
cutest. We then enjoyed cookies and
apple cider before heading back to the hotel.</div>

We got back to the hotel and got settled into the room. We had a lovely room that looks over the lake
and is two stories! The best part is the
heated floors in the bathroom. It is a
must if we ever build a house. We have a
living room with huge windows overlooking the lake, a kitchen, a fire place and
two bedrooms and bathrooms. After
getting settled in we got bundled up again after the sun had set and went to
set up our ski rentals for the next couple of days. We picked them all up and put them in a
complimentary locker provided by our hotel right at the bottom of the
base. It is so nice having a lift right
next to the hotel! We got everything
packed away and then headed to the liquor store for some beers before heading
to dinner. Dinner was at Creekbread
Pizza. We had heard rave reviews and
they did not disappoint. We ordered two
pizzas, and since we couldn’t decide, ordered each half differently. We ordered a pulled pork pizza, a sausage
one, a salmon one, and a potato one. All
of them were so unique! When our second
pizza was brought out they had made it wrong so we got a whole pizza that had
the salmon toppings. Needless to say, we were stuffed and had leftovers to fill
our fridge when we got back. Once we got
back we hung out and relaxed for a bit before calling it an early night since
we had a full day of skiing to come!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Today we woke up and were ready to hit the slopes! After getting bundled up in several layers,
we headed to breakfast at Southside Diner.
I ate the big ass pancake with chocolate chips (it really was a big pancake!)
and Joe got the breakfast sampler with various breakfast items. After breakfast
it was finally time to hit the slopes!
It was super convenient to have a locker right next to one of the
gondolas. There are three bases in
Whistler, Blackcomb, Whistler Village, and Creek Side. Our locker was in Creekside since it was only
a 5 minute walk from the hotel. We got
our boots strapped in and were off to the slopes. We decided to ride all the way up to the top
and then work our way down. After a
Gondola ride and a couple more lifts we made it to the top and started the trek
down. Nerves and lakc of ski skills got
the best of us to start. The Greens were
quite as easy as the NC slopes, and definitely a lot longer. A couple good tumbles and falls, we finally
made it to the bottom a good 2 ½ hours later.
We were all sufficiently tired and hungry so we headed to Wistler
Village to grab some lunch. We grabbed
lunch at La Brasserie where Vida got a chicken wrap and Joe, Allie, and Duncan
go burs.<o:p></o:p></div>

We were back on the slopes in no time, and after getting
some advice on the trails, we decided to stick to Blackcomb and Whistler
Mountain for the remainder of the day.
These were much easier greens we we took a lot less tumbles, learned to
ski a bit better, and had a much better time!
Before we knew it we were all worn out so we headed down to Whistler
Mountain to get picked up by the shuttle.
This was probably the only negative experience of the trip. When we got to the pick up place the shuttle
only had 3 spots. Although we were
actually staying at the hotel and had arrived at the pick up spot first, the
driver was incredibly rude and another lady that wanted to get to Creekside
argued her way into getting on the shuttle.
We said we would just take the public bus, and the driver failed to
inform us that the bus does not actually take us to Creekside. After getting on the bus and riding the whole
loop, the bus driver told us there was no free bus to Creekside, so we sat and
waited to get back on the shuttle for our hotel. After the driver arrived there was no
apologies or thank yous for waiting, just a very rude driver. We finally made it back to the hotel where we
headed to the hot tub to relax for a bit.
There were two hot tubs outside in the spa so everyone enjoyed watching
the sun set, sipping on drinks, and relaxing our tired bodies. After the hot tub we were all so worn out so
we decided on a relaxing dinner at Samurai Sushi.</div>

We all put on some sweatpants and headed to the sushi
place. We were carrying some drinks and
when asking the shuttle driver if he was going to Creekside we got the snarky
remark of, “not with drinks” and nothing else.
After already having a poor experience with him, we decided we would
simply walk since it was a 5 minute walk.
Samurai Sushi is such a cute little sushi spot that was quite busy due
to its great prices! Joe ordered Spicy
Ramen and a Sushi Sampler while I got a Salmon Avocado Rolla and a Tuna Avocado
Roll, and helped Joe with his sampler.
Everything was incredibly good and we were all satisfied. After a great dinner, we all headed to bed
early so that we could get ready for another full day of skiing!</div>

<b><u>Day 5</u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This was our second day of skiing, and although we were all
sore, we were a bit more confident hitting the slopes. We started with breakfast at Tim Hortons
since we had gone to the diner so many times.
I got a bagel with sausage and egg while Joe got a bacon egg and cheese
biscuit and an everything bagel. We
wrapped up breakfast and got all set to hit the slopes again. We immediately ventured over to Whislter
Mountain where the greens were a bit easier to start off the day. It was much more pleasant starting off the
day with a bit easier runs to build up our confidence. We got a couple more runs in and before we
knew it it was time for lunch! We went
to Blacks Restaurant right at the Whislter Village base and had a wonderful
lunch. I had Goulash which was amazing
while Joe had a black and blue burger.
The weather at the base had been fairly warm (in the low 40s) and sunny
so we were loving getting to eat our meals outside! After lunch we hit the slopes one more time.<o:p></o:p></div>

The second half of the day we ventured back to the Creekside
and Whistler side of the mountains and concurred some of the slopes from the
first day much easier! It was so fun
seeing our progress since Allie, Joe, and I had never skied more than one day
at a time! We had built up a lot of
confidence through the day but our legs were definitely feeling achy from two
days of skiing in a row! We didn’t want
to have to deal with the hotel shuttle again so we started winding our way down
to the Creekside gondola again. The
issue was that there were only blues going down to the bottom. Allie and I were not as confident in our ski
skills to make it all the way down on tired legs so we hopped on the gondola
right before 3:30 to take us down before they shut off the gondola. Joe conquered his first Blue after meeting up
with Duncan when he finished his run down some blacks. We met the guys down at the bottom before
heading back to the hotel. We had made
dinner reservations in Whistler Village at 6:00 at 21 Steps so we got dressed
and ready to catch the 5:30 shuttle to the village. Dinner at 21 steps was amazing! We started with crispy chicken and bread for
our appetizers (apparently bread isn’t free in Canada!) as well as some yummy
drinks. I ordered the salmon and
vegetables while Joe got the short ribs for dinner. All of the food was absolutely amazing! </div>

We wrapped dinner right in time to get picked up by the
shuttle and headed back to the hotel. We
stopped at the grocery store and picked up a cake for desert the night and some
more beers from the liquor store before heading back to the hotel. Once back, we relaxed in the hot tub for a
bit before all calling it an early night.
We were staying on east coast time pretty well since we were all waking
up so early in the morning which will make coming back from vacation easier!<o:p></o:p></div>

<b><u>Day 6</u></b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This was our off day from skiing so we headed to Soutside
Diner to start the day. I enjoyed the
chocolate chip pancake again while Joe had an assortment of breakfast
foods. We got back from breakfast and
got dressed before getting on the 10 AM shuttle to head to Whistler
Village. Once in the village we shopped
for about an hour or so, buying souvenirs and looking at all of the winter
gear. After about an hour or so we
hopped on the Whistler Gondola which would take us to the tube park. It opened at 11 so we were one of the first
people to arrive. After getting to the
park we bought our tickets then were off to tub! They had different levels of tube routs and
let us race down. We went on the highest
ones and were shocked at how fast the tubes went! (over 68 KM/hr!) After going down about 6 or 7 times in
varying pairs, spinning and turning, we were sufficiently tubed out and ready
for lunch. We headed ot Furniture
Warehouse for lunch again to let Allie and Duncan experience the “Everything is
$4.99” menu. I must say this was the
only disappointing meal of the trip, and not as good as when Joe and I had gone
the first time. We ordered honey garlic
wings for an appetizer than Joe got a burger while I got a BBQ Chicken Sandwich.
Although the food was a letdown, it worked for lunch. After lunch we ventured to the ice skating
rink but they said they were closing down until 3 so we continued wondering
around, eating ice cream, and shopping for another couple of hours. At 3:00 we all payed the $5 to rent skates
and go ice skating! Although the rink in
the sun was melting a bit, there were hockey courts that were covered. We skated around for about 45 minutes, played
some hockey, and had a good time before our feed were sufficiently
hurting. Let me tell you, ice skates are
not comfortable, but since it was only $5 it was worth it! After skating we headed back to the hotel
since we had another 6 PM reservation at Red Door Bistro! </div>

This was a cute little restaurant right next to our hotel so
we were excited to eat there. This was
by far our favorite meal of the trip! We
started off with some beef carpaccio and duck confit spring rolls as well as a
bread basket. Both were absolutely
amazing! After that, I ordered the duck
breast that had an Asian sweet and sour sauce on it, and it came with roasted
vegetables and polenta. Allie ordered a
bison steak that came with mashed potatoes and veggies. Joe and Duncan split two meals, West Coast
Bouillabaise (Dungeness crab, prawns, mussels scallops, and fresh fish in
tomato, fennel and saffron broth) and Cassoulet (stew pot of duck confit,
braised lamb, sausage, smoked pork, and baked beans). After our main meals we ordered the peanut
butter bombe (lindt dark chocolate and caramel mousse, peanut butter whip, and
pretzel crust) and Alllie and Duncan got bread pudding. We were all so full after eating such an
amazing meal that we skipped on the hot tub and headed to bed by 8 PM. We wanted to get moving early the following
day to make sure we made the most out of our last ski day!<o:p></o:p></div>

<b><u>Day 7</u></b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This was our last ski day, so we got moving pretty early so
we could get on the gondolas at 8:30 when they open. We also knew rain was in the forecast in the
afternoon so we didn’t want to waste any time!
We were out of the room by 7:30 and headed to Southside Diner for
breakfast. Joe got the Brie Stuffed
French Toast while I just got a large order of toast and some smoked meat. After breakfast we got strapped in and hit
the slopes. The nice thing about
Whistler is that they have some green routs in the bowls. We had done these routes yesterday and it was
seriously one of the most breathtaking views I have ever seen. Everything is so white and the sky is so blue
to contrast the snow. The best part is
that you can ski anywhere! We started
off the day in the bowls, feeling confident in our ski skills. We were moving much quicker than the first
days and got about 5 beautiful runs in before it was lunch time. We even
mastered the greens that we thought were impossible on the first day and some
of the blue routes! We had lunch at the
Irish Pub right next to the Whistler Gondolas.
I enjoyed the Asian Lettuce Wraps and Joe had some bangers and mash for
lunch. With full stomachs we headed back
up to the top of Whistler Mountain. We
got about 2 more runs in before it started snowing! We headed to the top but with the snow came
the clouds and it became hard to see, especially in the bowls where everything
was so white! We definitely didn’t want
to make a wrong turn and head down a black that high up! We made it about halfway down when the snow
turned into rain. We headed back up but
the visibility go a lot worse so Duncan and Allie called it a day after that
while Joe and I went for one more run.
The last run, everything clicked and we had such a perfect run to end
our vacation with, mixing both greens and blues as we made our way down. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Once we wrapped up, the rain had started to fall at the base
so we turned in our gear before heading back to the hotel. After getting dressed and heading to the hot
tubs we saw that the gondolas had all been shut down early as the fob set in
and the visibility got too low, so it looked like we had timed our last run
perfectly! We med a lovely couple from
England in the hot tub and enjoyed the conversation even though there was a
slight drizzle. After hot tub time it
was time to head in and get packed before dinner. For dinner we just headed to Rolands Pub
which was right next door to our hotel.
We didn’t want to venture too far because of the rain. The environment was quite lively and the food
was great! We had smoked salmon toast
for our appetizer and then I got fish and chips while Joe got the game burger
which was a mix of venison, bison, and beef.
He said it was the best burger he had ever had! Everything was amazing, and we finished up
the cake from the store once we got back to the hotel. After a long day of skiing and getting packed
to go home, we all headed to bed.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b><u>Day 8</u></b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We woke up around 7 and headed to Southside Diner one last
time for breakfast. We had sufficiently achieved regulars’ status in a
week! We all got the chocolate chip
pancake and some toast for breakfast, which was way too much food! I took it to go for a good snack on our bus
ride back to Vancouver. We got back to
the hotel and got on the shuttle at 8:30 to go to Whistler Village to catch the
Epic Ride back to Vancouver. The bus was
already waiting when we got there so we got on board and enjoyed the 2 hour
scenic ride from Whistler to Vancouver.
The bus dropped us off a couple blocks from the train station so we
walked to the train station that then took us to the airport. Joe and I didn’t have a flight until 3:30 but
Allie and Duncan had a 1:30 flight. When
we got to the airport, we were lucky enough to get on the earlier flight with
no cost to us, which was nice because it gave us more time in Seattle! Before we knew it, we had made it through
customs (which was a hot mess!) and we were headed on the short 30 minute plane
ride to Seattle. Joe and I collected our
luggage before hopping on the train that took us to downtown Seattle where we
were staying for the night (we had a long layover to explore Seattle a
bit!). We got to our hotel around 3 or
so after walking from the train stop. I
had been raining on the train ride but cleared during the ride and the blue
skies opened up! We dropped off our
luggage quickly and then headed to explore Seattle for the next couple of hours
before the sun went down. We walked the
park of the Space Needle, walked Sculpture Olympic Park, explored the water
front, and wondered through Pike’s Market.
Pike’s was such a wonderful experience, but unfortunately a lot of
places close on Saturday fairly early.
We grabbed some clam chowder at Jack’s Fish and Chips spot which was
good, then ventured around more before heading to dinner. Since the places in the market were closing,
we decided on dinner at Bacco Café, a Korean place that was highly rated. We got there during happy hour which was
great because we could order a lot of smaller portions. We got a Soju flight which was quite an
experience. We had a mint, orange, and
vanilla soju which were all quite tasty.
Then we had tuna tartare, bulgogi sliders, and rice cakes. For entrees Joe got Bulgogi and I ordered
Mushroom japchae which were both amazing.
We were so full after we finished eating that it was nice having about a
mile walk back to the hotel. During the
walk we explored some beautiful areas of Seattle and I really want to come back
at some point and explore the city more!
Once we got back to the hotel we headed to bed pretty early so that we
could get a good night sleep.<o:p></o:p><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
This was a travel day for us. We woke up and headed to breakfast around 7
before heading back to the Seattle Airport.
We got there in no time and before we knew it we were heading back to
Atlanta. With the flight on time, we had
a couple hours to get ready for a workweek and get unpacked form a memorable
vacation!<o:p></o:p></div>

Vancouver is so easy to get around
and explore via the buses that I would highly recommend it<o:p></o:p></div>

Epic Rides is a very inexpensive

Nita Lake provided a wonderful 2

week!</div>

I think this is the start of an
annual ski vacation for us!</div>

There is a huge tax on everything

<li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .25in;">
The mountains in Whislter are
beautiful and we got lucky to have the perfect weather, but the best part about
the slopes was that they mix in all different levels so that Duncan could
venture off and meet back up with us and still get some harder skiing in</div>

Duck, rabbit, anything that has some more flavor to it. Since it is a bit harder to come by at stores, we normally just enjoy it when we go out to eat. This time, we got our hands on some fresh elk. On of our neighbors, and a good friend, went elk hunting a couple months ago somewhere up north in the mid-west, and came back with an elk. After purchasing a freezer and getting the meets in, he started digging in. He was ever so kind enough to offer us some, and we couldn't have been more excited. We had never had elk so we started off with some meatballs. We randomly had some fresh mozzarella at our house so with that, we googled elk stuffed meatballs and found the perfect recipe to copy (and change a bit!). We were warned not to overcook so we were careful of that, but the meatballs turned out amazing. The original recipe (found <a href="http://www.nevadafoodies.com/mozzarella-stuffed-italian-elk-meatballs/">here</a>) makes it with a marinara sauce that looks yummy but we didn't want to have to go to the store. We will most likely do that next time. For now, here is what we did...<br />
<br />
<b>Ingredients</b><br />
<ul>
<li>1lb ground elk burger </li>
<li>½ teaspoon fennel</li>
<li>½ teaspoon oregano</li>
<li>½ teaspoon sage</li>
<li>½ teaspoon marjoram</li>
<li>½ teaspoon garlic powder</li>
<li>½ teaspoon kosher salt</li>
<li>½ teaspoon ground black pepper</li>
<li>1 red onion diced</li>
<li>Olive oil </li>
<li>Bocconcini fresh Mozzarella ball cut in cubes</li>
</ul>
<b>Directions</b><br />
<ol>
<li>Preheat oven to 350 </li>
<li>Combine all 8 spices above and mix into the ground elk burger. Cover and let sit for 30 minutes to an hour.</li>
<li>Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Add diced red onion and continue to cook until onion softens and begins
to caramelize about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Add
onions to ground elk and mix together.</li>
<li>Take a handful of ground elk meat and begin to form a large meatball
that fits in the palm of your hand. Add 1 bocconcini to the center and
continue to pack meat around the cheese until you have a nice sized
meatball. Repeat until done.</li>
<li>Bake for 20 minutes</li>
</ol>
We simply ate these with some veggies on the side and they were so flavorful! Enjoy!<br />

After our NYC weekend getaway we started thinking we should
do trips like that more often!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With
that, we started entertaining ideas as to where we should go.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Joe was supposed to have Alta playoffs November
14 and 15 but they got postponed a week because of all the rain we had been
getting and matches were not getting done.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>That Thursday we entertained the idea of going to Chicago for a weekend
getaway.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I texted Agatha, who is one of
my good friends that lives there, to see if she was available.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Conveniently, it was her boyfriend’s birthday
weekend so they had a party planned and that was all!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Friday morning we booked some last minute
flights to leave at 6 AM Saturday morning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We were super excited for a quick trip to visit some of our favorite
people!</div>

This was the first time we had flown Frontier, but with
flights under $200/person and booking them the day before we left we felt like
it was a deal that we could not give up!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We woke up bright and early Saturday morning thinking our flight was at
6:45 and headed to the airport.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
figured the airport would be pretty dead and the security line would be
short.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We got there shocked to find the
line incredibly wrong, and our flight was at 6:15, not 6:45. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After a very stressful long wait in the
security line, we took our bags and rushed to the gate which was terminal
B.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After running with our luggage (we
only had backpacks to save money and not pay for baggage) and getting to the
farthest gate on terminal B the gate agent tells us the flight was moved to
terminal D and we had 3 minutes to get there before the gate closed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There was another lady behind us so we quickly
turned around and made a mad dash to terminal D where we were once again at the
farthest gate. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sweating in our winter
coats, we made it just in time before the doors closed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It seems that it happened to a lot of people
because there were quite a few people running through the airport to our
gate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sweating in our winter coats, we
were just happy to have made the flight!</div>

After a quick flight we landed in Chicago and then took the
train into the city where Ag lives. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
walked past a cute farmers market before making it to her apartment which is a
beautiful apartment in a highrise overlooking the lake!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Man do I miss Chicago with that view!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once we arrived Ag cooked up an amazing
breakfast with eggs, sautéed veggies, bacon, and sweet potatoes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We sipped on our coffee and tea and enjoyed
catching up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After that it was time to
spend some time outside.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The perk about
booking a last minute flight is that you know what weather you will be
having.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This has been an oddly warm
winter so we were coming into 60+ degree weather in November in Chicago!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had to spend some time outside!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We walked down the lake, went to the pier and
relaxed there for a while, and then headed back to Agatha’s place.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After a couple hours outdoors and an early
flight we needed a nap before dinner time!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After a quick nap it was time to get dressed and head to dinner!</div>

Agatha had made reservations at Frontier which is a well-known
restaurant in Chicago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although you can
order whole animals, including alligator, we went for a lot of appetizers and
split two entrees. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We enjoyed so many
unique foods like duck tacos, duck heart skewers, turtle bolognese, rabbit
liver, alligator legs, and I am sure so much more!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Joe and I split the chicken sandwich which I
am pretty sure was the most amazing chicken sandwich I have ever had while Agatha
and Wojciech had some elk brisket.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everything
was amazing and I think it is one of our top restaurants we have eaten at because
it wasn’t super expensive and the food was right up our alley!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After that we headed to Wojciech’s
party!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He rented out a room at The
Bedford which was a really cool bar that had been converted from an old bank. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was such a neat setting and we had a room
in the back with our own bartender and some amazing appetizers that were passed
around.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was fun seeing some old
friends that I had met in my short stint in Chicago and meeting new friends! Joe
and I got tired pretty early since it had been such a long day so we headed to
bed before it got too late.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We took an
Uber back to Agatha’s place and were fast asleep in no time!</div>

We woke up bright and early in the morning since the sun
rises right where the windows are looking over the lake.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We laid around for a while before getting
dressed and meeting one of Joe’s friends for brunch at Elly’s Pancake
House.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had the most amazing crepes
there that were super healthy!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were
filled with Greek yogurt and berries and drizzled with honey on top! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I could eat those every day. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had the best company for brunch, and then
after brunch we met back up with Agatha and Wojciech at their brunch/lunch location.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They finished up eating and then we picked up
the bikes to go on a bike ride!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ag had 4
bikes so we hit the road with the bike squad and drove down to the peer and
then saw some sail boat racing going on a bit past the peer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We made it to Millennium Park where a lot has
changed since I was living there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
explored the park and then made our way back home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We then packed up our stuff and headed down closer
to downtown to have some reach Chicago hotdogs (I got an Italian sausage) from Downtown
Dogs and grabbed desert from Ghirardelli.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Desert was to die for…the salted caramel hot chocolate was quite amazing
and the Sunday we got was just the cherry on top of our mini trip!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sadly, it was time to head to the airport to
catch a late night flight back home and rejoin the real world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are so lucky to have such wonderful
friends that entertained us all weekend and we absolutely adore them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It makes me miss Chicago so much, but for now
weekend getaways there will have to suffice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

I’m going to start of the year by backtracking a bit to 2015…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This trip happened a while back but I have taken quite a
long break from blogging.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our trip to NYC
happened a couple months ago, and we actually flew out October 23.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had a 5:00 flight that Friday so that we
could enjoy a full weekend, then flew home at 6:00 AM Monday morning. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This insured we had two full days to enjoy
NYC.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Both my brother and sister live in
NY and Joe’s grandparents live in South Amboy which isn’t far from the city, so
we knew this trip would be filled with family time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My sister had her second baby, Jasper, right
before our trip to Bali so we were incredibly excited to meet Mr. J for the
first time!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We arrived in NYC around 7
and my brother in law was picking us up since they live in Jersey City and we
flew into Newark.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once we found him, he
let us know he was having some issues with the car!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nothing like adding some excitement to the
trip, especially since he had Jasper in the back seat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After trying to turn the car on, and then
weighing our options, we knew the car needed to be towed and we didn’t need to
risk driving it back to Jersey City. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Joe
called AAA while my sister booked a rental that I went to pick up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The tow truck was supposed to arrive in 45
minutes, but after I got the car and swung back around to pick them up, Joe had
received a call that they are backed up and it will take 2-3 hours before the
tow truck came.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since it had already
been an hour and a half and Jasper was awake and hungry, I took the car and
Jasper and drove to Jersey City to drop him off with mommy!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I headed back to the airport, and shortly
after arriving back the tow truck finally came.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After getting the car hooked up we were off to drop the car off at a
mechanic. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were not aware that in New
Jersey all the lots are closed at night.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>So, we finally agreed to go to Pet Boys which the tow truck driver knew
had an open lot.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After making it to the
location and calling the tow truck to see where he was at he informed us we
were at the wrong location! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, off we
go to another location about 15 minutes away.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>FINALLY we get the tow truck taken care of and make it to the house
about 4 hours after landing!</div>

My sister and brother in law live in a beautiful high-rise
with windows overlooking the city.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
had some dinner and gave Rose some hugs before heading to bed after a long
day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the morning we were woken up by
Rose ready to play!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We enjoyed breakfast
at my sister’s house before heading to the park to play.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Joe loved chasing Rose around the park and
going down the “big slide” with her!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After some time in the park Joe and I hit the road to South Amboy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a quick 40 minute drive and we arrived
at his grandparent’s house.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We enjoyed
some snacks and wine and loved catching up with them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It had been well over 5 years since Joe had
visited (I had been multiple times due to work) so it was nice for him to be
back. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We enjoyed some time with them
before heading back to my sister’s place where they made tacos for dinner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After dinner it was time for Rose to get
showered and go to bed and Joe and I watched GT beat FSU in what was one of the
most exciting games in the history of Tech Football!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After the game we headed to bed.

Early in the morning we got up and got dressed the Joe and I
headed into the city to explore a bit and then meet up with my brother. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We started at the 911 memorial and wondered
around<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>there since Joe had never seen
it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From there we went to the water
front, walked along there, explored Wall Street, and walked under Brooklyn
Bridge!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a lot of walking but the
weather was nice so we loved exploring and just wondering around the city.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After that we walked to Chinatown where we met
up with my brother and went to Red Egg for lunch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>a recommendation by my sister’s brother in law and it was amazing!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We ordered form the ala cart menu and my
favorite was the soup dumplings!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had
spring rolls, dumplings, potstickers, and so much food!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After lunch we wondered around with my
brother.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We walked into some of the
boutiques where Bosco (<a href="http://www.thebosco.com/">http://www.thebosco.com/</a>)
has photo booths set up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We took some
photos, of course, and I drooled over the clothes that I could not afford!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We then wondered the streets west village and
a couple of the other villages around.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Once we reached the High Line we said goodbye to my brother, walked the

Once we got back to Jersey City it was time to take a

enjoyed the sunset as Rose threw rocks into the river.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On the walk back we went to the rooftop where
we finished watching the sunset and saw the Statue of Liberty from afar. Then
Rose showed us her playroom in the building before heading back to the apartment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After dinner it was time to make cookies!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had promised Rose I would make cookies with

Life seems to be incredibly busy and always moving forward. We have traveled to NYC and Chicago to visit friends and family, made it through Thanksgiving, and are gearing up for Christmas! It seems like there is never a break to breath!<br />
<br />
This past weekend we had a beautiful reason to celebrate. Joe's Men's ALTA tennis team won the championship a couple weeks ago! This has been a long time coming since they have gotten so close so many times! After an exciting finish, it was only appropriate to celebrate. We had his team over to our place this past Friday night to celebrate the big victory. No celebration is complete without a cake. So, of course I gave Joe some options for cakes. He managed to pick the most complicated one! I was in a time crunch as well since I had traveled the end of last week, but it was all worth the stress! So, be warned this isn't the quickest cake to make, but it is well worth it! So, here we go!<br />

<u>Instructions</u></div>
<ol class="blog-yumprint-methods" itemprop="recipeInstructions">
<li class="blog-yumprint-method-item">Bake
the cake the day before you want to ice it. Preheat the oven to
180°C/350°F/Gas mark 4. Grease and line two 20cm/8in round tins.</li>
<li class="blog-yumprint-method-item">Sift
the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and bicarb of soda together into
a large bowl, stir in the sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk together the
eggs, buttermilk, oil and vanilla extract, pour into the dry
ingredients and beat well until smooth and combined. Add the hot coffee,
a little at a time, until it is all combined, the mixture will be very
liquid, don't panic! Divide the batter between the tins and place in the
centre of the oven, check after 35 minutes - a skewer inserted into the
centre should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs, but no wet
batter. They could take up to an hour to bake though, mine took 55
minutes, just check every 5-10 minutes after the 35 minute mark.</li>
<li class="blog-yumprint-method-item">Once
baked, remove to a wire rack, still in their tins, and leave to cool
completely. Once cold, wrap the cakes in their tins in clingfilm and
place in the fridge overnight, or for at least an hour. It is far easier
to slice a cold cake in half neatly.</li>
<li class="blog-yumprint-method-item">Make
the salted caramel: Place the sugar and water into a deep,
heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring to the boil and cook, swirling the pan,
NOT stirring, until the sugar dissolves and the colour changes to amber.
Remove from the heat and pour the cream - be careful as the caramel
will bubble ferociously and rise up in the pan. When the bubbling stops,
add the butter and whisk till combined, it may not be completely smooth
at this point.</li>
<li class="blog-yumprint-method-item">Return
the pan to a medium heat and cook at a gentle simmer, whisking the
whole time, for a couple of minutes until the caramel is smooth and free
of lumps. Whisk in the salt, a little at a time, tasting as you go
(CAREFULLY - the caramel is very hot!), until it's at the right level of
saltiness for you. Make sure that the salt is actually fully combined,
and not just sinking to the bottom, before adding more. Leave the
caramel to cool completely, it can be made the day beforehand and stored
in the fridge for up to a week.</li>
<li class="blog-yumprint-method-item">To
make the salted caramel swiss meringue buttercream, put the egg whites
and sugar in an extremely clean heatproof bowl (use the bowl of your
stand mixer if you have one). Place over a pan of simmering (not
boiling) water (do not let the base of the bowl touch the water) and
whisk with a hand whisk (not electric) until the sugar has dissolved
completely and the mixture is warm to the touch, if you rub some of the
mixture between your fingers it should be smooth and you shouldn’t be
able to feel any graininess, this will take about five minutes. If you
want to get technical about it the mix should reach 60°C/140°F on a
thermometer.</li>
<li class="blog-yumprint-method-item">Remove
the bowl from the heat and attach it to your stand mixer with the whisk
attachment or use an electric hand whisk, whisk the egg whites until it
forms a thick, glossy, bright white meringue and is completely cool,
the bottom of the bowl should feel cool to the touch, this will take
about 10 minutes.</li>
<li class="blog-yumprint-method-item">Once
the meringue is cold, switch the mixer to a low speed and begin to add
the butter, a tablespoon at a time, make sure that each addition is
fully incorporated before adding the next; the meringue will deflate a
little and may begin to look curdled, don’t panic! This is normal, just
keep adding the butter gradually and whipping away and it will come back
together. If, once all the butter has been added, your mixture is
runny, the butter may have been too soft or the meringue still warm,
just put the bowl in the fridge for 15 minutes or so then carry on
whipping.</li>
<li class="blog-yumprint-method-item">If,
even after a decent amount of whipping, it still looks curdled, place
about 4 tablespoons worth of the mixture in a small bowl and microwave
for 10-15 seconds, it should become runny, pour this back into the bowl
of buttercream, down the side of the bowl while whisking, continue to
whisk for a few minutes and it should come back together. Once the
buttercream is completely smooth and silky and all the butter has been
incorporated, whisk in the vanilla extract and salted caramel.</li>
<li class="blog-yumprint-method-item">Remove
the cakes from the fridge and carefully, using a long, sharp serrated
knife (like a bread knife) slice each one in half so you have four
layers. Place one layer on a serving plate or cake stand and spread over
just over a quarter of the buttercream, then drizzle over a tablespoon
or two of the salted caramel (you can thin it with a little more cream
or warm it VERY slightly until it becomes pourable if needed - I'm
talking no more than 10 seconds in the microwave, do not let it become
warm or it will melt the buttercream). Top with another layer of cake
and repeat until you have three layers of buttercream; place the final
layer of cake on top - use one of the bottom halves, upside-down, so
that you have a flat top.</li>
<li class="blog-yumprint-method-item">Spread
the remaining scant quarter of buttercream thinly all over the cake, it
does not need to be neat and you will be able to see cake through the
buttercream but try to get it fairly smooth and cover the cake evenly;
this is your crumb coat - it will stop cake crumbs from getting into
your ganache. Place the cake in the fridge for at least fifteen minutes
while you make the ganache.</li>
<li class="blog-yumprint-method-item">To
make the ganache, chop the chocolate and place in a heatproof bowl. Put
the cream in a small pan and heat until just simmering, pour it over
the chocolate, making sure that it is all covered; leave to stand for
5-10 minutes then stir until smooth. Leave the ganache until it has
cooled to room temperature - it should have thickened but still be
spoonable, like pudding (you can pop it in the fridge to speed this up).
Whisk with an electric whisk until it has lightened in color and has
the texture of thick whipped cream, do not over-whip or you will end up
with chocolate butter...which sounds delicious but is not what we want
here! Immediately spread the ganache all over the cake - work fairly
quickly as it doesn't take long for it to start to set.</li>
<li class="blog-yumprint-method-item">To finish, drizzle over the remaining salted caramel.</li>

<div class="MsoNormal">
We woke up bright and early Thursday morning to get ready
for our long trek to Bali.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had packed
the majority of our things the nights leading up to the trip but had some last
minute things to do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Around 9:30, Joe’s
dad arrived to take us to the airport.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He had already picked up Rox the day before so we sat down and relaxed a
bit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Josh and Caroline came a couple
minutes after Jim did.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Before we knew
it, the house was locked up and we were heading out the door to the
airport.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had a 12:15 flight so we hit
the road a little before 10 and didn’t hit too much traffic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After getting all checked in at the
international terminal we took the train to Terminal E for our departure.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had about 30 minutes before boarding so we
caught up on emails before heading off.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We were seated pretty far back in the plane in a row of
4.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All of our flights this trip are via
Korean Air. The leg room is quite a lot bigger than the Delta international
flights so we were excited (especially since there are two tall guys
traveling).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We got settled in and before
we knew it we were off!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After some
drinks we were all settled in and acquainted with our area.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A guy a couple rows in front of us had the
cutest puppies, although when he went to the bathroom they would go crazy!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>About two hours in it was time for our first
meal experience.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wasn’t sure how I
would react to the meals since I have some issues eating on planes, but I was
pleasantly surprised that the food smell was completely different since they
were serving Asian food.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Josh I enjoyed
some beef and noodles, Joe ate the bibimbop (an Asian stir fry type meal), and
Caroline had the chicken and rice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All
of it was fantastic!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After enjoying the
meal it was time to watch some movies!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They had quite the movie selection to entertain us but after two movies
it was time to turn to the magazines.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The time passed quickly and after a couple more drink rounds it and
about 8 hours into the flight it was time for meal number 2!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This time around Joe and Caroline enjoyed a
different kind of chicken and rice, Josh braved the fish and potatoes (he
wouldn’t recommend it!), and I had noodles with cream sauce.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After dinner time it was time to sleep the
remainder of the flight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In not time we
were landing in Seoul, 1 hour early from the original arrival time!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I guess the pilot flew fast!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Once we landed in Korea we waited in line for a bit to get
through a little security line before finding our gate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since we were flying with the same airlines
it was not too far of a walk to our next gate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>As we settled in for about a 2 hour wait we all got caught up on the
world (yes we were all on our phones the second we found out we had wi-fi) and
found out the yellow jackets had won their first home game!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We all cleaned up a bit in the bathroom and
brushed our teeth before starting our next leg of the trip.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This flight was about half as long as the
first so we were excited for the 7 hours.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We failed to hear any of the boarding calls for our flight (we were
sitting 1 gate over to avoid all of the people) and luckily Caroline happened
to look up and see that people were boarding and the gate was almost
empty!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We packed up our stuff really
quick and got to the gate right at final boarding call!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had another row of 4 seats on this flight
so we sat down and got settled in!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
enjoyed a snack and drinks right away and then settled in to some reading and
movies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>About 2 hours in it was time for
a meal again!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This time Caroline and
Josh got yet another variation of chicken and rice which they did not enjoy as
much as the others and Joe and I had beef and noodles which were very
tasty.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They topped it off with a
wonderful ice cream for dessert!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After
wrapping up the meal we all took a couple hours to nap since we have been
sleeping on and off for the past 20 hours.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>With about an hour and a half left in the flight they turned the lights
on and brought pizza and bananas for snack time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Before we knew it was time to land and we had
survived the 14 hour and 7 hour flights!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We walked through customs pretty quickly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were lucky that our bags were literally
the first 4 bags out!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That meant we had
little to no lines walking through customs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The airport looked like a regular airport and fairly large as we walked
through.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once we exited the secured area
there were large lines of people holding signs for pickup!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have never seen that many before!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We found our guy since he was holding a black
sign instead of the standard white one and then we were off to his car and off
for the 15 minute drive to our hotel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>For the first 3 nights we are staying at The Villas, Seminyak, which is
near the beach.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We checked in fairly
quickly then were escorted to our villa.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We had originally booked a two bedroom villa but they upgraded us to a 3
bedroom villa!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We walked through the
door into paradise!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We got the tour of
the three bedrooms, all including a HUGE bathroom, patio, and bed area.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also had an open space that consisted of a
living room, dining room, and kitchen area.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The third room was separate in a pool house type feel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We decided we would keep that one for when we
were rinsing off from the pool.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also
had a fruit basket that had the most amazing fruit, half of which I had never
seen before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We snacked on the fruit and
enjoyed some drinks before calling it a night around 2 AM. Of course, since we
had slept on and off the past 24 hours we weren’t too tired and Joe and I
finally got up and moving around 6AM to watch the sun rise.</div>

<u><b>Day 1</b></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We woke up at 6 and enjoyed some relaxing time by the
pool.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I walked around and took some
pictures of our villa and rooms while Joe answered some emails. Josh and
Caroline got up around 7 and we hung out until breakfast was served.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The chef comes to your villa to cook if you
would like and we opted for that!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We all
ordered different things from the menu.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Joe ordered the Indonesian breakfast of Mie Goreng, Josh got eggs
benedict, I ordered the homemade Bircher Muesli, and Caroline ordered the
traditional breakfast which was eggs and pastries.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The chef and assistant arrived at 7:45 to
cook breakfast at our villa.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After about
30 minutes breakfast was served.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Everything was amazing!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Joe’s
was an Indonesian noodle with some vegetables and with rice chips.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were all so amazed by breakfast that we
all ordered it for tomorrow’s breakfast.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After breakfast we got ready for the day then ventured out to
explore.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We aren’t right on the beach in
Semenyak so we started the walk knowing the general direction of the beach. It
was about 9:30AM and the town was bustling.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There were scooters everywhere and we were amazing by the crazy
drivers!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are glad we weren’t on the
streets and had a driver the whole trip.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We enjoyed walking through the city then spent a little of time at the
beach before turning around and heading back.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Once we got back the boys swam in the pool a bit and enjoyed some local
beer that they bought at the convenient store across the street from us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once they got dried off and dressed it was
time for lunch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We headed to Bo & Bun, a place somewhat close to the
hotel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There we enjoyed bulgogi fries
(fries with ground meat on them) and then Joe ordered 18 hour pho, Josh had pad
tie, and Caroline and I enjoyed the chicken basil wok meal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was all so good, but Caroline and my meal
was perfect!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After lunch we headed back
and got ready for the second half of the day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>At 1 PM Made, our driver for the week arrived for the day. We did
introductions and then hit the road.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
first part of the day was the beach tour.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We started at Nusa Dua which is a new beach.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There was a nice relaxing beach that wasn’t
too crowded, but the main feature is called Water Blow, which is an area where
the waves crash in the rocks and it is a beautiful site to see.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After that we headed to Pandawa Beach which
seemed to be more of a local beach. They had a boardwalk that was very busy and
everyone wanted us to sit under the “brella”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We ventured to the end of the beach and enjoyed walking by the water.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We spent about 40 minutes there before
heading to the last beach, Padang-Padang beach which is the beach where eat
pray love was filmed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The beach was
absolutely stunning with rocks sticking out and huge waves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The walkway to the beach is supper narrow
stairs and we met our first monkey there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Once you get to the bottom of the steep stair pathway the beach opens
up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is where all of the Europeans
come to sit!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The beach isn’t all that
big so it looked crowded with everyone there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The water is beautiful at all of these beaches, but the prettiest at
Pandawa Beach.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After exploring there a
bit we headed to our last stop of the day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The highlight of the trip was the Uluwatu temple.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We arrived before 5 and walked all the
pathway.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This temple sits on top of a
cliff and is stunning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The water has
eroded away huge cliffs for a very scenic view.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The waves were huge below and the water was so blue with super white
waves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After walking around there we sat
down for the last part of the day, the fire dance show.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is a traditional dance that tells a
story with fire.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The view is spectacular
as you sit in the arena that opens up to the view of the Indian Ocean.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The sun set throughout the majority of the
show which lasted about an hour.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was
interesting to see part of it be quite traditional and then the end seemed
entertaining and modern. Once the show wrapped it was dinner time.</div>

We headed to Jimbaran Beach for dinner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is an area on the beach that is lined
with restaurants that set tables on the beach to face the water, lined with
candles, and is known for the fish.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As
we watched the fire dance we saw all of the boats coming in for the day with
all of their catch to be cooked up for dinner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Per a suggestion, we ate at Made Bagus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You walk through a very warehouse type building where they have the fire
going and are cooking and then it opens up to a beautiful beach.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were seated right away and ordered soon
after that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Joe and I ordered a combo
meal for two that had fish (not sure what kind), clams, calamari, prawns that
were all a sort of BBQ flavor but not as sweet, more smoky.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With that we got a side of Indonesian spinach
which was sautéed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everything was very
much my taste and we enjoyed it so much!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Josh ordered a seafood platter to and enjoyed a lobster tail, fish,
prawns who preferred the fish to be deboned but loved the flavor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Caroline ordered chicken sate which she said
was good but plain.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We finished up
dinner and headed back to the hotel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After some showers and a bit of relaxing we were all in bed and asleep
by 10 after a long day!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were ready
for a good long nights sleep before heading out for another day of exploring. </div>

<u><b>Day 2 </b></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We woke up around 7 and relaxed by the pool a bit before the
cooking crew arrived at 7:25.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were
done around 7:40 so we sat down and enjoyed breakfast before getting ready for
the day and meeting Made at 8:30.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
hopped in the car and drove for just under an hour to get to our first even. We
went to a village and watched a Balinese morning dance performance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They do a really good job writing out the
story line so that you can follow what is going on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is normally a story about their gods,
kings, and spirits fighting (good vs. evil).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We enjoyed this performance a lot more than we had the previous fire
dance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The music was all very
traditional music played in the background and this story line was a little
easier to follow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once we wrapped up the
dance we headed to Tenganan ancient village. This is the oldest village in Bali
and still very much runs like one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
villages like this are all owned by the community so nobody owns property, but
they all work together to make the village run.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We learned about different crafts like the drawings on the wood boards
that were done by scratching on palm leaves then staining them with burnt
macadamean nuts, painting on egg shells, and their traditional scarf weaving
techniques where they hand die the threads for a year before they can even
start!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We then got to go inside the
temple and learned about how they are preparing for an offering ceremony in
about a month.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was so neat walking
through the incredibly old villages.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
made a quick stop for lunch at Lotus Restaurant near the ancient village.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We enjoyed a spring roll for an appetizer
then Joe had Be Pasih Sambal Matah which is Mahi Mahi steak marinated and
grilled and served with turmeric rice and vegetables, Josh had green chicken
curry, Caroline enjoyed some noodles with chicken and vegetable, and I had
chicken skewers with fried rice and egg and some vegetables.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After the village we headed to Ujung Garden.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is one of the most stunning gardens I
have ever seen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are flowers
everywhere and as well as pathways around the waters and over the waters to
little buildings and gazebos.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We loved
walking around and exploring the area, looking at the flowers, and were in awe
or the beauty.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once we wrapped up there
we headed to Tirta Gangga.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is a
temple that we had been looking forward to going to.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is over the water and has steps that you
walk across to that are floating in the water to reach the temple.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We made friends with a puppy there that liked
to join us in our pictures and follow us around.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the water we saw some of the biggest coy
fish that looked like they were hundreds of years old!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After that it was time to start the trek back
home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We stopped at the Sidemen rice
terrace on the way home and saw a beautiful view of some rice fields along with
red peppers growing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also stopped at
another rice field that was filled with water where they were harvesting some
of the rice from the small section to spread out along the patty.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It took about 3 hours to make it home (we
didn’t realize we had gone that far!).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>To wrap up the date we went to Merah Putih which was recommended to us
and is a traditional Indonesian restaurant.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We ate this meal tapas style and ordered two large plates and three
small plates.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For the small plates we
enjoyed some octopus, quale, and duck that was prepared in a traditional way,
and for our large plate we had pork ribs and pork belly with some rice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All of it was amazing, although the service
was quite slow for our taste.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We enjoyed
some drinks but after browsing the desert menu it was all too contemporary for
us so we headed back to the hotel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
got back around 8 and relaxed for a bit before hitting the bed pretty early!</div>

<u><b>Day 3</b></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We were all up well before 7 after a long night of
sleep.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After eating Asian food for the
whole day yesterday, we all opted for a pancake breakfast this morning to be
made in our villa.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We got up and relaxed
for a bit before starting to pack up our stuff to head to the next hotel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had a full day ahead of us so it was nice
to have a couple hours to relax, eat breakfast, shower, and get packed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The pancakes were a nice change of pace from
the food we had been eating, and at 8:45 we headed to check out then hit the
road at 9 for a fun filled day!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We started the day at Tanah lot temple.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We came at the perfect time because it was
low tide. When it is high tide in the middle of the day you cannot get to the
actual temple.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since it was low tide we
could walk a lot closer to the temple.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We started by walking around and then we got blessed a monk (we believe)
so that we could walk up the stairs and get a better view of the temple.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You put water on your face then they put a
thumb print on your forehead with rice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We wondered around the cliffs a bit before heading out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our next stop was the monkey forest which was
my favorite.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We went to one of seven
monkey forests in Ubud.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You buy food for
the monkeys (peanuts) and feed them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
monkeys are literally everywhere!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had
a good time feeding the monkeys initials. I wanted to hold a monkey so we
tricked one into jumping on me with food.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Two jumped on at once and had a bit of a fight off my back but then one
of them won.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I fed that monkey then Joe
did the same.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We walked around a bit
more and saw a snake and the bat area before heading back to the monkeys.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There Josh and Caroline got a picture
together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Josh then tried to get another
one on his back and got some action!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
two monkeys that jumped on them had a little too much fun together and had an
accident on his shirt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was VERY entertaining
to say the least and luckily all of our luggage was in the car so he had a
change of clothes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Joe and I held one
more monkey before we headed out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From
there we headed to Jatiluwih Rice Terrace. This is the largest rice terrace in
Bali.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We drove around for a while and
then found food.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We ate at Billy’s
Terrace Café where they had an Asian buffet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Although it was not our favorite food, it feed us and got the job
done.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We then started venturing through
the rice terraces and learning about way rice grows and how they harvest
it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was so fun learning all about the
rice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From there it was time to head to
a view of two of the 4 lakes in Bali.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They call it the twin lake view because it is a look out over the two
lakes that are separated by a thin strip of water.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From there we headed to Munduk which is one
of the largest water falls in Bali.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On
the way there we stopped to look at the local coffee that is the most expensive
coffee in the world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The coffee beans
are eaten by a cat and then pooped out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Seems gross but its super expensive everywhere else besides here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also saw how cloves grow which was really
cool along with some other spices.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
walk there and back was quite beautiful and gave us a good warm up for the Mt.
Batur hike.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From there we headed to our
last stop, Pura Ulundanu Beratan temple.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We were super excited about this temple and were a bit disappointed. It
was obviously beautiful, but because it is dry season there isn’t any water all
surrounding the temple like we believed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After walking around there for a bit it was time to head home.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We headed back and got checked into our hotel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here they did not have two bedroom villas so
we got two one bedroom villas with pools that were adjoined by a wall.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The rooms are a bit smaller than what we had
at the first place, which was huge, but beautiful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have an outdoor shower, bedroom, sitting
area, and a bathroom with a tub.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We got
settled in and then headed on the shuttle to downtown Ubud to fine some
dinner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Josh and Joe really wanted to go
to this restaurant called Luxe Café.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After a not so wonderful experience with the driver (he spoke no
English) we headed on a trek to find the restaurant.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The driver pointed both directions when we
asked him where we were heading so we started off in the wrong direction.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After about a quarter of a mile we realized we
were going in the wrong direction and then found the right street right where
we got dropped off.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We walked down that
street for about a mile and realized we were lost.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At this point in time I was quite grumpy and
tired and not so excited to still be walking around when we had to get up at
2:30 AM for our hike.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We finally made it
back to our starting point with about 30 minutes to spare so I convinced
everyone they could only eat chocolate cake for dinner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After a beer and chocolate cake we headed back
to the hotel on the shuttle and packed up for the next day before heading to
bed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<u><b>Day 4</b></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We got a wake up call at 2:30 AM ready to hit the road.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our hotel packed up some fruit and pastries
for our guide to carry and then Made picked us up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was about an hour drive to get to the
bottom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We met our guide and started the
trek.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The first part was quite easy for
about 30 minutes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After that it was
straight up for an hour.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By straight up
I mean super steep!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Luckily there were
almost built in stairs which I thought made it nice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We made it up in about an hour and half which
our guide said was one of the fastest hikes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We made it to the top and broke into our breakfast while waiting for the
sun to rise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For everyone that wants to
hike, it is cold up there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We thought
cold for Bali was not so cold since its always hot and sweaty here, but it
means really cold and windy!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were
frozen at the top!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The hike started cold
but after we got moving we warmed up and even took off our light jackets.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When we got to the top we quickly bundled
up!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The sun rose a little after 6 and it
was BREATHTAKING.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were very lucky
that there was no fog or clouds in the sky so we had a perfect sunrise with
views for miles!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The sun rose quickly,
and before we knew it it was time to return.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We saw the crater first and then headed down a different path to get
back to the base.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was nice because
there are a couple hundred people that hike the mountain every morning so we
did not have to deal with the crowds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The hike down was a bit intimidating and we were slipping and sliding
everywhere but we survived the hike down and were one of the first people back
even though we took the long route. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After the hike we headed to the natural hot springs to relax
a bit and enjoy what they believe they have healing powers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a bit uncomfortable because there were
all guys and Caroline and I felt a bit weird but it was a good experience.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After that we headed to “breakfast” a
restaurant, Kintamani, that had the most breathtaking view of Mt. Batur.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We sat outside and started with tea and
coffee, then enjoyed some fresh fruit, and wrapped up with fried rice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Made (our driver) joined us and we loved the
conversation with him!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have really
taken a liking to him after spending a couple full days with him!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After breakfast we headed to our last stop,
the Holy Spring Temple which was one of my favorite temples although it was not
on our original list.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was really neat
to see the people bathing and the process of going from one spout to the
other.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Made does such a wonderful job
walking through these places with us and explaining every tradition, ritual,
and answers all of our dumb questions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After walking around the area and seeing the irrigation system, the
blessings, etc. it was time to head back to our hotel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It had been a VERY early morning so we were
ready to relax by the pool for the second half of the day.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We went to the main pool for a couple hours and opted out of
staying at our rooms.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The main pool has
a beautiful infinity edge that looks onto the forest and down onto the
river.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the pool we enjoyed some
drinks and a pizza for a snack.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After a
couple hours at the pool we headed back to the room, cleaned up, then headed to
downtown Ubud.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We walked around a bit
and explored downtown in the daylight before settling down for dinner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We ate dinner at Clear, which was a
restaurant I really wanted to go to because it is their “healthy eating”
restaurant.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although Caroline and Josh
didn’t enjoy what they got, Joe and I loved everything we ordered.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We started the meal with nachos and a hummus
plate that had zucchini hummus, black bean hummus, and red pepper hummus on
it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then I ate a feta quesadilla and
some stuffed mushrooms, Joe ate ahi tuna with wasabi mashed potatoes, Josh
ordered a sushi roll and was surprised that the rice wasn’t rice like in
America but actual sticky rice, and Caroline ordered pesto pasta that had a
certain spice in the sauce that wasn’t very good.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We wrapped up there before heading back
towards the city center.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Before heading
back we had to stop by Gelato Secrets and enjoyed some sorbet and gelato.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I loved my passion fruit and guava gelato
flavors and the others got variations of chocolate and enjoyed them!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Right before the shuttle arrived we watched a
religious processional through the main street of Ubud, then headed back to the
hotel at 7.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were all so worn out from
the day that we headed straight to bed!</div>

<u><b>Day 5</b></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Since we went to bed before 8, both Joe and I were up by
4:30 AM.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was OK for Joe since he
could get caught up on emails for a bit before heading out for the day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This morning we decided to head into the
restaurant for breakfast to see what it was all about.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since Josh and Caroline weren’t up yet Joe
and I headed to breakfast around 7 AM.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Breakfast was fantastic!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
started with juice, which was really a smoothie.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I ordered jack fruit and honey melon and Joe
ordered banana pineapple and both were absolutely fantastic!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For breakfast I enjoyed an omelet with
sausage, spinach, and sun dried tomatoes and Joe got French toast with
caramelized bananas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Both were good but
Joe’s was definitely a winner! They also gave you toast with three different
homemade jellies, one was strawberry, one was a pineapple citrus type jelly,
and one was a guava and something else jelly and all were fantastic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We finished up breakfast and tea right about
when Caroline and Josh arrived.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After we
wrapped up breakfast we all settled in by the pool for a couple hours and read
and relaxed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had a long couple of
days so this was our relaxing day. We planned to head to downtown Ubud at 10:30
but our plans were changed when we realized the shuttle did not leave
then.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After learning the shuttle was not
until 11:30 we went back to our own pools and relaxed while the boys drank a
couple beers that they had purchased at the convenient store a couple days
earlier.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We hit the road just before
11:30 for Ubud.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We arrived at the city center and walked to lunch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lunch was at Bebek Bengil which was
recommended to us by Made the day before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They are known for their crispy duck.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We all ordered the Bebek duck which is half of a fried duck, fruit,
salad, and potatoes or rice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We enjoyed
our meal a lot and the restaurant is absolutely beautiful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After lunch we headed about a half a mile
down the road to our spa!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had booked
a spa package the day before at Shangrila Spa which was also recommended to us
by Made and had great reviews on trip advisor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We booked a 4 ½ hour package and it was phenomenal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We all went in different orders but I started
with a sound table to start which was literally a table that had a musical
instrument below it that was almost like a xylophone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They played that below you and I assume the
vibrations relax the muscles in your body.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After that it was time for the reflexology portion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The foot and leg massage was amazing and it
was relaxing to have a cold lavender towel on your head.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Those two took about forty five minutes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From there it was massage time!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The first 30 minutes were the head, neck, and
shoulder massages and then the next hour was the traditional Balinese
massage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was a total body massage
that literally put me to sleep a portion of the way though it because it was so
relaxing!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After an hour or so they did a
salt scrub for 15 minutes before you showered off and cleaned up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After showering we all met up again and
enjoyed an amazing mint relaxation tea and fruit before wrapping up the last
two hours.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The next forty five minutes
were spent getting a pedicure (you could get a mani or a pedi) and then the
last part was an hour long facial.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
facial was so many steps I am not even sure I know what all they did!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All I know is that at one point it smelled
like chocolate and the lady said it was a mask with cocoa beans.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although parts were a bit painful, we all
came out with skin as soft as a baby’s bottom and glowing skin all over.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After wrapping the massages we headed to dinner at Siam
Sally which is a Thai place.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We found
out they had happy hour until 7 so we ordered some drinks and appetizers to
start.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We ordered some chicken dumplings
and spring rolls that were both amazing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After that it was time for the main course.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The guys ordered cashew chicken and pad Thai
entrees to split, I had seafood “drunken” noodles, and Caroline had some
chicken fried rice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Besides the fly that
Caroline found about halfway through her meal in the fried rice the dinner was
absolutely amazing!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I loved the pad Thai
the most and ate a lot of that since I didn’t absolutely love the sauce on my
noodles ( I ate all the seafood out!).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>From dinner we walked about a mile to desert at Carmel which was
amazing!!!!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We all got different mini
cakes, everyone else ordered some variation of chocolate while I ordered a
guava cake and all of them were amazing and looked super cute!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once we wrapped desert it was already 8 so it
was time to catch the shuttle back to the hotel and head to bed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although it was a relaxing day, we really
felt like we deserved a day where we weren’t quite as busy (plus with the spa’s
being so cheap we had to take advantage of it!).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tomorrow is another day with Made so we
called it a night once we got back to the hotel so we could get up and going
early the next day!</div>

<u><b>Day 6</b></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This morning we still woke up around 5 AM which has become
quite a trend.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After a couple hours in
the room and spending some time getting ready we headed to breakfast around
7:30.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although the hotel we are staying
at is beautiful when it comes to the views and the room, I am not sure that we
would come back.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Breakfast is delicious
but customer service is lacking a lot, and as for amenities, there isn’t an
iron in the room and the hair dryer barely works.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For a high end villa it just doesn’t seem to
live up to the standards when it comes to anything beyond a stunning view and
nicely up kept rooms.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For breakfast
today I got mango juice, Joe got pineapple, Josh got apple carrot, and Caroline
got orange.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For the meals we all enjoyed
toast and jelly while I ate the banana crepes, Joe and Caroline got pancakes,
and Josh ordered eggs benedict.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All of
it was quite tasty and we had no complaints.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After that we headed up to the main area to meet Made.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Today we were exploring the art villages.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We started with the gold and silver smith
village.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The first stop was at the
modern jewelry place where we saw how the silver was made.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After exploring the store we went to the more
traditional place and viewed the jewelry and saw some pieces being made.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After some heavy negotiation I purchased a
simple silver chain so that I can put my pearl from Fiji on it and have fond
memories of our 2015 vacations!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After
those we went down the street to a local compound.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Throughout the villages there are compounds
that are fully walled off areas that house a handful of families.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Made walked us through the compound and
explained the location of all of the places and the significance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All of the compounds are laid out the same,
with the oldest member staying at the front of the compound and the temples and
kitchens always found in the same area.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>From there we headed to the painting village.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was so excited to visit the painting area
and explore the beautiful art work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let
me tell you, they are talented!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the
first place both Joe and I and Josh and Caroline found paintings we loved.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After closer examination we found that they
were a bit dirty and could not be cleaned.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>From there we headed to the next place that was a bit more upscale.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Josh found a painting he thought would be
perfect for his mother but found out it was $3500.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although everything is negotiable here, that
just wasn’t even close.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Beyond that one
painting, we didn’t find anything that peaked our interested so we were off to
the next one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here, they had a lot of
beautiful paintings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each of these
places had about 10-15 rooms that had paintings all over the walls and stacked
on the floors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It takes a while to
wonder through all of them but most of the rooms have specific styles so you
can skip some areas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were looking for
more floral paintings so it made it a bit easier.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After much thought, many paintings looked at,
and A LOT of negotiation by the guys, we both walked away with stunning
paintings made by the same artist!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am
so excited to put our first real painting up in our home!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After the purchases it was past 1 so it was time for
lunch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lunch was at Bu Oka which was the
best suckling big in the area.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Suckling
pig is the local meal here and we were told we must eat it before we
leave.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We all ordered the special which
came with rice and “fresh vegies” (these are long beans sautéed with some other
things), pork roll, fried meat, sausage, and pork skin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although all of it was fantastic, the pork
was so juicy and tender!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were all
very impressed!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From there it was time
for cooking class!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We attended cooking
class in Payuk Bali.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We arrived a bit
early so we sat down and had some tea before the class started.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We started by putting together a traditional
offering basket and making an offering.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We learned that a family makes an average of 25 offerings in a day!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From there we learned to make coconut oil and
coconut milk from fresh coconut!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oil is
made by grating coconut and then mixing in a bit of water.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You bring that water to boil then skim the
oil off the hot water.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You boil the
water again and then the water should all be evaporated and a clear coconut oil
should remain.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It should be completely
colorless.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For milk you put a lot more
water in and when grating the coconut you do not include the shell.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After mixing in the warm water you strain the
coconut mixture with a cheese cloth and you get your coconut milk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fresh coconut milk is only good for a day
before it gets sour.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After that demonstration it was time for cooking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the class we made three sauces, peanut
sauce, Bombu Bali (their basic sauce for everything), and Sambal Ulek (their
spicy sauce).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For the soup we made Soup
Ayam which is a chicken soup.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also
learned to make steamed rice which is how it is traditionally done in
Bali.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You initially team the rice, then
you soak it in water, then you steam it again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It is quite a process!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For the
entrees we made Chicken Sate, Pepes Ikan (steamed fish in banana leaf), and
Ayam Bumbu (Balinesian fried chicken that was spicy).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For a “salad: we made Sayur Urab which was
vegetables in spicy coconut sauce, and for desert we made Kolak Pisang (braised
sweet potato in palm sugar gravy).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
class started with dicing all of the ingredients for the whole meal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From there we steamed rice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After that we had to make the sauces.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All of these were hand ground and took quite
some time and some muscle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We did not
finish the grinding, this was done by the helpers, but we did quite a good
job!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After that we prepared all of the
chicken.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From there we had to make all
of the sauces that had been ground into paste.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After adding ingredients like coconut oil, coconut milk, salt, pepper,
etc. and sautéing them we made all three of the sauces.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After the sauces we made the spicy
chicken.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Following that we made the
skewers that were later grilled.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From there
we finished the entrees by making the chicken and wrapping it up in the banana
leaf.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We finished by making the soup and
the salads which were pretty simple and finally the desert.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After we cooked we sat down to eat!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My favorite was the chicken sate with the
peanut sauce as well as the fish in the banana leaf!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wasn’t a fan of the soup, salad, or desert,
but that was just because of my taste!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We had such a blast doing the cooking class for 4 hours and the staff
was incredibly friendly!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After dinner Made took us back to Carmel where we all got
new deserts that were different from the night before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Joe got a tiramisu mouse, Josh got a
chocolate dome while Caroline got a chocolate cake, and I got an ice cream
bar.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also got a cheesecake to share
since that was the bakers favorite.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All
of it was AMAZING!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are obsessed
with this place!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After that we headed
back and hit the bed before 9 PM!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
were shocked that our time here was coming to an end and we would be packing
everything up tomorrow morning and enjoying our last day!</div>

<u><b>Day 7</b></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Today was our final day in Bali before heading to
Korea.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our plan was to sleep in this
morning, but shocking, I was up again at 5.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>During the night we were all woken up by the only rain storm since we
had been in Bali, and let me tell you it was pouring!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The rain didn’t last long and we were back
asleep in no time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After waking up and
writing and catching up on emails and Facebook for a bit I started packing up
our room.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were shocked at how many
dirty clothes we had collected over the past week!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I finished up packing and then we all headed
to breakfast around 7.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I ordered mia
goring, Joe got the ham and cheese breakfast sandwich, Josh and Caroline got
the French toast, and we all enjoyed some fruit smoothies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After wrapping up breakfast we got in our
swimsuits and headed to the pool for a couple hours.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Around 11 we headed back to the hotel and
spent the last hour showering and getting everything together to leave. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At noon we headed to downtown Ubud with Made.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We started the afternoon with lunch Naughty
Nuri’s which is a their famous BBQ ribs place.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It is a small restaurant and probably the most run down from the ones we
have been at but the food was amazing!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The guys got ribs with potatoes while I got noodles and chicken and
Caroline had a BLT.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We spent the next
four hours walking the Ubud market.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
is the largest market with local crafts for sale and it is huge!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We loved seeing all of the scarves, jewelry,
wood carvings, trinkets, and paintings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We worked our negotiation skills (by we I mean the guys) and ended up
with what we believe are wonderful deals!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We walked away with some gifts for our parents and some more art work
for our home!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are in love with the
art work here!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After finding everything
on our wish list we headed out to the last stop.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bali Pulina is known for making the most
expensive coffee in the world, the coffee that cats eat and poop out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We walked around and saw the cats, learned
about the process of how the coffee is made, saw other fruits and spices
growing, and then had a tasting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They
brought out a flight of about 8 teas and coffees that we got to try!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We loved trying all of these unique flavors
even though Joe and I are not coffee drinkers!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Here they sold it for about 400,000 IDR for 100g, which is much cheaper
than anywhere else in the world, but still super expensive, especially for us
non-coffee drinkers!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From there we
headed back to the market.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Joe had
fallen in love with a painting and after leaving he realized he really wanted
it, only to find out they closed at 5 and we were about 45 minutes late.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I guess we will just have to come back! From
there it was time to start the trek to Seminyak.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our flight was at 1:45 AM so we had a bit of
time to kill.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We went to dinner at Bo
& Bun which we had gone to earlier in the week.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was an easy choice since we didn’t have
reservations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We ordered bulgogi fries
and some Asian tacos for appatizers then Caroline got cashew chicken, I got pad Thai, Josh got chicken and basil, and Joe had lemon grass pho.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everyone was very pleased with their
meals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We wrapped up dinner around 8 so
Made took us to a villa in Seminyak that belonged to his boss as a rental that
was currently vacant to get showered and relax for a couple hours.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The house is beautiful with a pool, outdoor
kitchen, and three bedrooms!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maybe we
will stay here next time around <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After relaxing for a bit we headed to the
airport around 11.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We arrived around
11:30 and got checked in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When we
checked in Joe and I got a pass for the lounge so we headed there for about an
hour.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We snacked on some food and
deserts there and Joe enjoyed a beer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
got to the gate right on time and boarded just as we got there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After boarding we settled in and were ready
for the overnight flight to Korea.</div>

<u><b>Day 8 – Seoul, Korea</b></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We arrived in Seoul right after 9 AM.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We all slept pretty well on the flight so we
were ready to spend the day exploring all that Seoul had to offer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jae, a friend of Joe’s had put together a day
trip for us since he was very familiar with the area!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since we had checked our main luggage all the
way to Atlanta, customs was quite simple and quick to get through.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As we walked out of the door to get to our
hotel shuttle, we saw the shuttle was about to pull away and got on the shuttle
to the Best Western right by the airport just in time!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a short 3 minute ride to the hotel
where we dropped off our luggage, got changed, then hopped right back on the shuttle
to get to the airport for the train to Seoul.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The train ride is about an hour to City Hall which is where the heart of
Seoul starts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We found the train station
at the airport fairly easily and found the train waiting to depart right as we
arrived.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Talk about good timing!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After the train ride we arrived in Seoul just before
11.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We all decided we were absolutely
starving so we started wondering around to find some food.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is the first time that we have traveled
that we felt completely inept when it came to the language.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The language barrier is huge since we have no
idea what the symbols even mean!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After checking
a few restaurants to see if they have an English menu and getting rejected we
finally found a spot.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I couldn’t tell
you what the restaurant was called since it was all in Korean but the waiter
did a great job trying his best to explain to us what we could order and how
much it would cost us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Joe is familiar
with Korean food thanks to Jae so he was able to do most of the translation
after he heard the name of the food.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Josh, Caroline, and I opted for the crispy fried pork while Joe got a
shrimp soup.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everything was absolutely
fantastic and I split the soup with Joe since his was so good!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After we finished eating we were ready to
explore.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Joe had been attempting to find
Myeongong for lunch since that was Jae’s recommendation but he got turned
around a bit when we arrived so we had to figure out where we were.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our first stop was the Gyeongbokgung
Palace.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We arrived just in time for the
changing of the guards ceremony which was really neat to see! After the
ceremony ended we strolled the palace a bit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The place is huge!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We finally
made it to the back corner where the temple is found.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We sat down and relaxed for a bit there
before heading out to the next stop.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Net
we went to Insadong which is a traditional and cultural district.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We wondered around there in awe or all the
amazing street vendor food and crafts area.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After wondering there for a while we made our way to the Cheonggyecheon
Stream which is a river that flows through the heart of Seoul.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We walked down the river a bit and wondered
our way to Myeongong where we found more street vendors and shops to
browse!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We did a bit of gift shopping
there before we decided it was early dinner time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had seen so many good street vendors that
we decided we would want to try those, but first we needed some Korean
BBQ!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had found a street full of
Korean BBQ on our stroll through Seoul and had dropped a pin where we needed to
go so we made our way back to the street.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Along the way we stopped by the Catholic cathedral which was huge! </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
For dinner we enjoyed flank steak and pork belly at the
Korean BBQ place.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The waiter helped us
with the grill and told us when to flip the food.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Joe was experienced in Korean BBQ so he
coached us through all of the little side bowls that they brought out and let
us know what was what.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also had some seaweed
soup and some kimchee soup which Joe ate most of.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The guys enjoyed two beers before we started
wondering around again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This time we
wondered our way back to Insadong where Caroline found her makeshift Christmas ornament
and the guys enjoyed a waffle with ice cream from the street vendors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All of the vendors ranged from 3000 to 4000
won for the most part.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After we wrapped
up in Insadong we headed back to Myeongong since we thought that food was
better.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The next vendor was a place that
served sausage on a stick, some which were stuffed with fish cake (we
believe).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I thought they were fantastic although
I am not sure the others were onboard!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Last, they went to a stand that had wraps to finish up the night.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After about 14 miles of walking, we were all thoroughly
exhausted and ready to head back to the hotel!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After getting lost a bit we finally found the metro stop (thank goodness
there is free wi-fi just about everywhere in Korea!) we finally sat down to do
the jumper train to the main one that took us back to the airport.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
The guys wanted to try and take the “fast” train but after
an unsuccessful trip out of the gates we had to ask the train guards to let us
back in through the gate without purchasing another ticket so we could make it
back!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We finally got to the train and
were all exhausted and ready to sit down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After about an hour we arrived back at the airport where we caught the
shuttle to the hotel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The hotel shuttle
leaves every 30 minutes so we waited a bit but not too long!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were shocked at how cold and windy it was outside
while we waited for the shuttle, we were not prepared for the cold!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once we got to the hotel we got checked in,
enjoyed some complimentary drinks, and were off to bed in no time! </div>

<u><b>Travel Home</b></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The travel home was uneventful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Security was quick and once we got to the
airport we enjoyed some Dunkin Donuts!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Can
you tell we are missing American food?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
got settled in for the almost 13 hour flight!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We all thought we would be sleeping but none of us seemed to be able to
sleep except for Joe. We read some books, watched some movies, and ate similar
foods as the flight to Korea.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Josh would kill me if I didn't add this in here, but he is the champion in tetris. Very last minute he beat Joe's high score so for this trip we have to give him the gold medal. We arrived
around 9:30 AM in Atlanta and after getting through customs we were met by Joe’s
dad to take us home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were greeted
with water and biscuits, what more could we ask for!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now that is a welcome back to America!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were sad to see vacation come to an end
but also ready to get back to reality!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We hope that this is the first of many vacations with the Andrews clan,
and I don’t know about them, but we had the best time!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There really isn’t much we would have changed
about the trip!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The weather was perfect
and sunny the whole time and the company was even better!</div>

<u><b>Summary</b></u></div>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Go see Bali...it is beautiful, cultural, bustling, and fantastic! </li>
<li>In Bali book Made. He without a doubt made our trip what it was...</li>
<ul>
<li>Depending on the day and what you do he ranges from $40-50 a day which for a 12+ hour day is VERY reasonable</li>
<li>He is also your tour guide</li>
<li>He has awesome food suggestions</li>
<li>He knows a million fun facts</li>
<li>He helped us put together our whole entire itinerary</li>
<li>He priced out every activity for us so we knew what to prepare for for the trip</li>
<li>He has great English </li>
<li>Book a tour here: http://www.galihbalitours.com/ </li>
<li>He is awesome...you won't regret it!</li>
</ul>
<li>Get out of your comfort zone! As Americans we are use to certain foods, cleanliness levels, etc. In order to experience the culture you have to get over your fear or a bit of a dirty kitchen, toilets in rural areas not being clean (an normally without toilet paper), restaurants not quite up to the US standards when it comes to looks, but it makes the trip authentic and worth it</li>
<li>Temples</li>
<ul>
<li>Still not sure what a temple is, some are underwhelming, some are overwhelming, but all of them were a cultural experience!</li>
</ul>
<li>Visit the monkeys, they are the best (in my opinion!)</li>
<li>Hotel number 1: The Villas - Bali</li>
<ul>
<li>http://www.thevillas.net/2013/index.html</li>
<li> WORTH EVERY PENNY</li>
<li>We got a sweet upgrade</li>
<li>Maybe not the vest views but the hotel, amenities, etc. were wonderful!</li>
</ul>
<li>Hotel number 2: Villa Semana</li>
<ul>
<li>http://www.villasemana.com/</li>
<li>Wouldn't recommend it</li>
<li>The hotel and the views were breathtaking</li>
<li>The hair dryers are the worst thing I have ever seen and there is no iron in the room</li>
<li>Most of the staff does not speak English and don't seem too happy/nice</li>
<li>Are not accommodating at all with the shuttles, etc. even though we had 4 people and a car full. You must get dropped off in 1 area even if you pass the location you would like to go to in Ubud, which just seems strange to me. </li>
</ul>
<li>Don't miss out on a spa day...they are so cheap it's a must do!</li>
<li>Explore foods from all different cultures!</li>
<ul>
<li>DO THE COOKING CLASS</li>
<li>We had the best experience and it was VERY reasonably priced! </li>
</ul>
<li>So much to see with so little time, we enjoyed hopping from one place to the other and got to see so much of Bali!</li>
<li>If you are in shape enough, hike Mt. Batur, but be warned, it is cold, and it is not the easiest hike you have done!</li>
<li>The 24 hour layover in Korea was well worth breaking up the flight and allowing us to see Korea</li>
<li>Korea has great food :)</li>
<li>If you want to know how much we spent, etc. just let me know!</li>
</ul>

</div>
So if you don't know yet, Oreos now have a peanut butter (Reeses) flavor, and it is amazing! Really anything with peanut butter and chocolate is going to be amazing, but when I came across the below recipe I just had to try it! I was worried the cookies wouldn't be symmetric and make bad sandwiches, but honestly they were super easy and turned out perfect! The cookies turned out perfect and remained super soft even after a couple of days. If you love peanut butter and chocolate as much as I do there are the perfect desert. It makes the prefect batch to share if you have a small dinner party like we did and didn't have too many leftover to share!<br />

Instructions</h3>
<ol class="instructions" id="zlrecipe-instructions-list">
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-0" itemprop="recipeInstructions">Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
</li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-1" itemprop="recipeInstructions">In a medium bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and flour. Set aside.
</li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-2" itemprop="recipeInstructions">In
the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream
butter and both sugars. Mix in egg and vanilla and mix until smooth. Add
dry ingredients and mix until combined.
</li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-3" itemprop="recipeInstructions">Scoop
2 tablespoon sized balls of dough onto the cookie sheets. You will get
about 15-17 cookies. (Alternately, you can use 1 tablespoon sized balls
of dough and get twice as many cookies. Baking time will be less.)
</li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-4" itemprop="recipeInstructions">Bake
for 8-9 minutes until they just lose their glossy sheen. Err on the
side of underdone for these cookies; they taste better that way. Let
cool completely before filling and making sandwiches.
</li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-5" itemprop="recipeInstructions">To
make the filling: beat butter and peanut butter in the bowl of a stand
mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix in salt, then slowly beat
in powdered sugar. Add vanilla, then 2 tablespoons of cream. Add a third
tablespoon of cream as needed for the consistency you want. Note: this
makes a lot of frosting, more than you need. It is enough frosting to
fill the 2 tablespoon sized cookies OR the 1 tablespoon sized, plus
extra. Filling can be frozen in an airtight container for up to one
month.
</li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-6" itemprop="recipeInstructions">Once
cookies are cooled, frost half with the frosting and sandwich with the
other half. The best way to do this is to place your frosting in a
gallon size ziploc bag and cut off one tip. Place a very large squeeze
of frosting in the center of the bottom of a cookie, then press the top
cookie on top, causing the frosting to spread to the edges.</li>

It's officially mixed tennis season which gives me a wonderful excuse to make deserts for tennis. I love making deserts for tennis because I get to bake some goodies then take them out of the door so that we aren't tempted to eat all of them! We have some friends coming into town so I also wanted to have some goodies to share with them while they stay with us. I actually doubled this recipe below to make a bigger batch so that we would definitely have enough. It was super simple and quick to do since you didn't have to bake anything! Enjoy!</div>

<h3>
Instructions</h3>
</div>
<ol>
<li class="instruction" itemprop="recipeInstructions"><strong>Oreo Crust: </strong>
Line an 8x8 pan with foil. Set aside. In a bowl combine the Oreo cookie
crumbs and melted butter. Stir with a fork until well combined and the
mixture resembles damp sand. With your hand or the back of a glass,
firmly press the Oreo mixture into the prepared pan. Place in the
freezer to chill while you prepare the cookie dough layer.</li>
<li class="instruction" itemprop="recipeInstructions"><strong>Cookie Dough Layer: </strong>
In the same bowl you used for the Oreo crust, cream the butter for 1
minute with a hand mixer. Add in the brown sugar and beat for an
additional 2 minutes on medium speed. Beat in the vanilla extract.
Slowly add in the flour, alternating with the sweetened condensed milk.
Stir in the chocolate chips. Reserve ½ cup of the cookie dough. Press
the cookie dough on top of the prepared Oreo crust. Return to the
freezer to chill for 30 minutes. Roll the remaining ½ cup of cookie
dough into mini balls (it is easier and less sticky if you allow the dough to cool down a bit). Place in the freezer to firm up. Remove bars from
the refrigerator and pour the melted cookies and cream bars evenly over
the top of the bars. Top immediately with cookie dough balls and
crushed Oreo cookies. Refrigerate for 1-3 hours. Cut into 12 squares and
serve.</li>

<br />
Although we aren't eating strict Whole30 right now, we tend to still do meals that are Whole30 complaint. We will enjoy a glass of wine or desert, but we really loved how healthy our lifestyle was when we were eating Whole30. I had a friend ask me if I would do it again so I will actually be doing another stint of Whole30! It will be nice having the motivation of a friend doing it with me. Joe will most likely join in for the most part so it will be fun to see how long we keep up with it this time around. I made the below recipe a while back and never got around to blogging about it. Since I was cooking for just 2 of us, we had a lot of pasta sauce left over so we put it in a container and froze it for a later date! It will make for a super easy and quick meal when we are in a bind while doing Whole30! This was one of my favorite recipes we have done so I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!<br /><span id="more-2796"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<h2>
<u></u></h2>
<h2>
<u><strong>Balsamic Beef Bolognese with Zucchini Noodles.</strong></u></h2>
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ingredients:</span>
<ul>
<li>3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil</li>
<li>10 cloves garlic, finely minced</li>
<li>1 c chopped yellow onion</li>
<li>Sea salt + cracked black pepper</li>
<li>2 tablespoons dried oregano</li>
<li>1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flake</li>
<li>2 cups finely chopped mushrooms </li>
<li>2 tablespoons tomato paste</li>
<li>1/4 cup + 1/4 cup sulfite-free balsamic vinegar (easy to find at any grocery store)</li>
<li>1 pound lean ground beef</li>
<li>1-15 ounce can of plain 100% tomato sauce</li>
<li>1 pound (about 3 medium) vine tomatoes, diced</li>
<li>Fresh basil</li>
<li>4 zucchinis </li>
</ul>
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Method:</span><br />
In a large sauce pot over medium heat, add the olive
oil. When it warms up, add the garlic, onions, and a
bit of salt and pepper, and cook until the onions are translucent,
about 3 minutes. Add the oregano, red pepper flake, and chopped
mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms are soft and browning, another 5
or 6 minutes. Add the tomato paste and stir for a couple of minutes,
until the mixture is well combined. Pour in the first 1/4 cup of
balsamic vinegar, and use it to help you scrape up any brown bits at the
bottom of the pot. Let is simmer for another few minutes to cook out
the vinegar tang.<br />
<br />
Add the ground beef and use a spatula to crumble it well and to
combine it with the other ingredients. Add a bit more salt and pepper
and continue to cook until the beef is no longer pink. Then add the
sauce, the tomatoes, and the second 1/4 cup of balsamic. Bring the pot
to a boil, then lower it to a simmer and cook covered for 15 minutes
longer. Salt and pepper again as needed, and top with fresh basil.<br />
<br />
For zucchini noodles use a spiralizer to create zucchini noodles. Saute the noodles with a dash of olive oil and salt and pepper to taste for 4 minutes or until desired softness. Enjoy!<br />

Thursday rolled around and we were finally heading to Fiji
after a much anticipated countdown! Joe and I both had a full day of work since
we originally thought our flight was at 7:30.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We still aren’t quite sure how we got to the time, but luckily, Joe
double checked in the morning and saw that we actually depart at 6:30.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not a huge deal at all!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At around 2, I am at a late lunch with a
friend and Joe is in a meeting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He receives
an alert on his phone that the first leg of our flight was canceled!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was too busy talking away to answer his
texts trying to figure out what to do, but luckily our travel agent had time
for him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He immediately packed up at
work and headed home while our travel agent started working on how we would get
to LA.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Joe finally gets in touch with me
as I am walking back from lunch saying we need to leave as soon as he gets home
and head to the airport.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Right as he
pulls in we get a call from our travel agent, Christie, stating she put us on
the 5:00 Delta flight (we were originally booked on American Airlines).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are so lucky I was at lunch that day
because Kayla stuck around and drove us to the airport so that we could make
our flight on time!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We didn’t hit too
much traffic and made it with a few minutes to spare!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With our bags checked to our final
destination, we boarded the plane to LAX.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We didn’t get to sit together since we got the last two seats on the
plane but we were just happy to be making our way to LA!</div>

We got to LA and had about 4 hours to kill.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We started with a late dinner inside the
Delta terminal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had learned from our
last trip not to leave the terminal because there is no food beyond the
terminal and you cannot check into international flights until 2 hours
beforehand!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I enjoyed a sandwich and Joe
enjoyed a burger.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We then relaxed a bit
in the terminal but before we knew it we were check in for our next flight to
Fiji.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were traveling with Tahiti Air
and departed from LA around 11:30.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With
the help of some Nyquil, we were both fast asleep for our 11 hour flight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We both had a good long 6 ½ hours of sleep
and then dozed off for another two hours or so.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Once we were up from our night sleep we had less than 3 hours to go so
we knew we were going to be OK!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We landed in Fiji just as the sun was rising and got to see
a beautiful sunrise while landing on the beautiful island.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our happiness was short lived.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had brought a grapefruit and forgotten to
eat it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Needless to say, I won’t be
making that mistake again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After a VERY
hefty fine and almost missing our connecting flight, we were finally on our
last leg of the trip.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had a 1 hour 20
minute flight from Nadi to Taveuni.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Taveuni is the third largest island in Fiji.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was hands down the smallest plane I have
ever sat in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It had no overhead storage
and about 18 seats.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was the coolest
experience!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We got to sit in the front
row so we saw the pilot take off and land, and the scenery was breathtaking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The color of the water and the islands was
something that words cannot even describe!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

The “airport” was literally a landing strip with a little open gazebo.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There we met up with our driver from Matangi
Island Resort.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He grabbed our luggage and
loaded it up into a truck!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It will be
interesting to see how security (or lack thereof) will go on the way back because
there definitely aren’t any metal detectors, TSA, etc.!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our driver took us on a 25 minute ride to a
doc where we were picked up by a boat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We enjoyed a 20 minute boat ride to Matangi Island.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Upon our arrival, we were greeted with music
and beautiful necklaces, and fresh coconut water.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had made it!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The craziest part of the trip is crossing the
dateline.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although our travel wasn’t
that long, we left on a Thursday evening and arrived on a Saturday morning,
completely skipping Friday!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who needs
Friday anyways?</div>

The arrival was a sight to see.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were welcomed by all of the staff and a
band that sang a welcome song while we pulled in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We then received fresh coconut and shell
necklaces while we met the owner of the resort.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Once we arrived they had a beautiful table set up for Joe and me to
enjoy some breakfast. We wanted to eat light since it was 10 AM and we knew
lunch would be somewhat soon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At
breakfast we put in our lunch and dinner requests and saw the schedule of
events for the day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We decided since we
had a pretty long trip we would lay low today and enjoy the pool and beach and not
participate in the activities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We enjoyed
our breakfast then were escorted to our room.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The room was stunning!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We got
upgraded to the Beach Front Villa which was bigger than the initial room we
booked.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is a traditional beachfront burro
that had an outdoor lounge on the front porch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The view is onto the beautiful water.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Inside, we had a living room, bedroom, mini kitchen area and a beautiful
bathroom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The best part is our huge
outdoor shower!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can get a tan while
showering <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>we got unpacked and then quickly headed to

There is one pool at the place we are at with chairs,
lounges, and swinging daybeds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is a
wonderful relaxing environment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although
there are a lot of workers here, the best part is that they tend to leave you
alone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you need anything you can
always flag someone down, but they leave you be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While at the pool we met the remaining 5
couples that are here right now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is
nice because 3/5 other couples are young, one is a mother/daughter pair, and one
is an older couple.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everyone is very
nice and welcomed us to the island.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After relaxing by the pool for a couple hours we headed to lunch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was blown away by our first meal! We started
with a shot of what I believe was a cleansing smoothie.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The started was a water chestnut, watermelon,
feta salad and then our main course we both had sweet citrus scallop salad with
scallops of different varieties, lettuce, lemon and herb dressing, and some
toppings with a couple homemade crispy potato chips.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We finished with a banana with peanut caramel
sauce for desert.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was such a perfect
and refreshing lunch for me. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After lunch we enjoyed a fresh cookie that they have out all
the time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then we headed back to the
pool to catch some more sun and read our magazines.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At 4:30 we attended a cooking class put on by
the chief.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He made coconut crepes with a
chocolate sauce.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have never been a fan
of coconuts but the coconuts here are orange and have a much milder taste (even
the coconut milk is milder) and I have been enjoying the flavor!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After cooking class we walked down to the
beach with some friends and watched the sun set.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since it is winter time the sun sets around
5:30.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After sunset we showered and got
ready for the evening.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At 6:30 we
enjoyed traditional dancing and even partook in some of the dance!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Joe was definitely a good sport.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then it was dinner time at 7!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> </div>

Dinner started with seafood vol-au-vent which
is seafood in a creamy white wine sauce and a puff pastry shell.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After the starter Joe enjoyed a filet mignon
with blue butter sauce with potatoes, steamed beans, steamed cabbage, and
roasted pumpkin while I enjoyed grilled snapper, coconut curry sauce, French beans,
and steamed cauliflower.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For desert I
enjoyed a mango mousse and caramelized pineapple while Joe enjoyed orange cream
caramel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since we had a couple drinks
before dinner, once we were fed the lack of sleep finally hit us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Joe and I headed to bed right after
completing dinner!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the rooms, there
is no air conditioning, which is very common on islands like Fiji. For the most
part it is not an issue, but when sleeping most people like it pretty
cold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also, since your windows and
shades are open almost all day and night, there are a lot of bugs that can get into
the room.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This resort found the perfect
solution!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They have an AC unit above the
bed that they turn on during turn down service then netting around the bed to
keep the air in and the bugs out!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
slept wonderfully!!!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We need one of
these units just above our beds.</div>

We were woken up bright and early at 6:30 to a rooster
outside our door!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nothing like a
wonderful good morning call! We relaxed for a bit and then Joe got some work
emails taken care of while I wrote about the day before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Around 7:30 it was time to get moving.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was beautiful and sunny outside in the
morning so it was already pretty warm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We walked to the dining hall to enjoy our first full breakfast.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They still had the muffin and fruit juice out
but we also could order from a menu.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
ordered an omelet with mushrooms, onions, peppers, and crushed tomatoes and Joe
ordered two over easy eggs, bacon, beans, and a chipolita.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also enjoyed some fresh guava juice and Joe
had some fresh orange juice, some fresh fruit, and a chocolate chip
muffin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The food was amazing!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After breakfast we decided to do the short hike that they
have.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is about 30 minutes one way to
the top of Beverly Hill.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From Beverly
Hill you look down on Horseshoe Bay.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
got our walking sticks that were used to help hike and to get rid of spider
webs, and were on our way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The hike is
VERY steep from the start!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is pretty
much straight up, so we definitely got a good workout.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Along the way we saw one huge unknown animal,
goats, cows, and chickens.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once we got
to the top we saw the most breathtaking view I have seen in my life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Looking down on Horseshoe Bay is the most
spectacular thing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The blues and greens
of the water cannot be described and pictures simply do not do it justice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We sat at the top and soaked in the amazing
view for a bit, then knew we didn’t have a huge amount of time before our next
adventure so we headed back.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

On our way back we got up close to a cute little goat and
watched 5 puppies (from before we only thought there was one puppy that walked
around the resort but that one had 4 other siblings) play in the water.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then we headed back and sat in the daybed for
a bit before getting ready for our snorkeling trip. At 11 we got picked up by
the boat and headed out to the shipwreck that is right off the island.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although there was a strong current, the snorkeling
trip was magnificent!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There wasn’t the
large amount of fish around like in Tahiti (there were still a lot but they
seemed smaller) but the coral was everywhere and beautiful!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was so cool seeing sections of the ship
wreck from WW2 still intact and the coral and fish making a home all around
it!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We snorkeled there for about an hour
before heading back to the resort.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once
we got back we relaxed by the pool a bit then dried off and headed to lunch!
For lunch we both started with a green salad with homemade papaya seed
dressing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For the main course I ate chili
lamb kebabs with tomato basil rice while Joe enjoyed the snapper, chili and
lime dressing, shaved cucumbers and carrot salad, and tapioca chips.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everything was amazing!</div>

We got back around 4:15 so I relaxed a bit while Joe took a
nap.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I showered and got ready for the
evening since I wanted to get some pictures before the sun set.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Around 5 we took some pictures than watched
the sun set with friends.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At 5 it was
Kava ceremony time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Serili is the concierge
at the resort and he was leading the ceremony.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Kava is a traditional ceremony drink that was initially done for the
chief as visitors wanted to enter their village.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now it is done to welcome guests, for
weddings, birthdays, and special occasions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Kava is made from the root and stem of a Kava plant.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is grown for 4-6 years and gets better as
it ages.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You put the shaved kava in a
brown bag and steep it just like a tea bag.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The liquid turns into a dark dirt color.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We then learned that traditionally this was drank in silence but we didn’t
follow those rules.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You must cup (clap
with your hands cuffed) once before receiving the Kava, then everyone cups 3
times once you finish drinking the cup in one fluid drink.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You then clap three cups once you no longer
have the cup in your hands.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We enjoyed
hearing stories from other ceremonies, and drinking the Kava.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As expected, it taste very earthy, and leaves
your mouth and tongue feeling tingly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

joined in on the cocktail challenge and there were 3 other guests that did the

ingredients they had to use to make a cocktail.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The remainder of the guests were the judges.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They used ingredients like pineapples, orange
juice, ice cream, rum, etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There ended
up being one girly frozen drink, and another much stronger tropical drink.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course I voted for the girly one which

Like clockwork, the rooster crowed at 6:30 and we were up
again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The morning was spent writing and
relaxing a bit before breakfast.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
enjoyed an omelet again while Joe enjoyed poached eggs, smoked salmon, and
bacon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also had some fruit, fresh
juice, and muffins.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After breakfast we
headed back to the room and packed for our day trip.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once packed, we headed to the pool to relax
on the day bed there until we were ready to depart.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At 10 we headed out on the boat to Taveuni,
the island we had landed on to take the boat to this resort.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From there we went with a car to Tavoro
Falls.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is the home of the largest
water fall in the Fiji.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We started the
hike with a guide who told us all about the environment surrounding us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She pointed out all different fruit trees
along the walk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We saw pineapples,
papaya trees, banana trees, lemons, and many other fruits and herbs, some of
which we recognized and others we had only heard of.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The initial walk was about 10 minutes to the
first water fall.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The first one was the
largest and was 24M high.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The view was
spectacular.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The water under the falls
was crystal clear and the surroundings were so green!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After seeing the falls we continued another
35 minutes to the second fall which was 15M.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Along the walk we stopped at the most beautiful lookout point where we
looked down on a couple pineapple and coconut farms and over the ocean.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The second fall was just as beautiful so we
sat at that fall for quite some time taking it all on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We then started the walk back to the first
fall where we jumped in for a refreshing swim.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Although it wasn’t overly hot out, we were all sweating pretty back because
of the high humidity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The water was so
refreshing and it was great cooling off.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We loved trying to get as close to the fall as we could before the
current would push us back!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After some
time in the water we dried off and headed back to the entrance of the park
where we had lunch packed for us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
enjoyed chicken, fruit, potato salad, rolls, and salad.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After lunch it was time to head to the pearl
farm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That was about a 20 minute drive
then a 10 minute3 boat ride to the pearl farm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

The pearl farm was a little hut above the water and it was
run by a Canadian man.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The pearl farm
was called Civa Pearl Farm. This was one of 2 pearl farms in Fiji and their
pearl tend to run 3 times higher in price than Tahiti since they are rarer and
come in different colors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We learned how
pears are farmed and grown.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The process
is quite labor intensive and leaves a lot of things up to chance!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We now have a much better understanding of
how pearls get the color that they do (it’s all based on the water mineral make
up), how they get different sizes of pearls, why they come in different shapes
(it all depends on the strength of the membrane the pearl sits in), how they
are graded, and how they are collected and grown from small shells to larger
ones.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After that, I bought the most
breathtaking and unique pearl before we hit the water for some snorkeling.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The snorkeling right off the pearl farm was
beautiful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The fish were much more plentiful
than the day before!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were all different
varieties that we hadn’t seen in Tahiti.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We also saw a group of bright blue starfish which were so
beautiful!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We finished up the snorkeling
tour by seeing an octopus but he wouldn’t come out to play with us!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After snorkeling we headed back to the
resort.</div>

We got back to the resort around 3 and hung out by the pool
for a bit before heading in to get showered and ready for the evening.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After getting dressed we headed to the beach
to watch the sun set in the water and enjoy a couple drinks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Like every other sunset we have had, the view
was breathtaking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After the sun set, we
headed to the dining area and Joe enjoyed some Fiji beer and we had some tara
root chips and avocado dip for a snack. Before we knew it it was dinner
time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For dinner we both started off
with garlic lobster served with turmeric rice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>For my entrée I had turmeric scallops which were seared scallops, pea
puree, tapioca chips, and steamed cauliflower.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Joe had a half portion of the scallops and a half portion of a Fiji
curry platter which is chicken curry, lamb curry, and vegetable curry served
with rice, roti, papdum, tamarind, tomato chutney, and fresh condiments.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For desert Joe had tropical cheese cake with
kiwi sorbet and I enjoyed sticky date pudding with caramel sauce and salted caramel
ice cream. Everything was amazing as always.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We were both pretty worn out from our trip during the day so we headed
back to the room for a good night sleep. </div>

We woke up to another beautiful sunny day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are always up at 6:30 so we start the morning
with me writing and Joe getting some work done.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We headed out to breakfast around 8 or so.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For breakfast we mixed it up a bit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We still enjoyed the fruit, muffins, and
smoothies at the buffet but we both ordered something new.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I ordered eggs benedict one whole wheat with
smoked salmon while Joe ordered a breakfast burrito with eggs, cheese, mushrooms,
peppers, onions, and tomatoes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were
both very happy with our orders!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After breakfast
we changed into our bathing suits then headed to the pool for the morning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We stayed at the pool since we hadn’t spent
too much time just relaxing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Joe got
some work done while I enjoyed reading for the morning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We ate lunch around 12:30.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For lunch we both had the same thing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We started with a salad with green beans and
feta.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The main course was a seafood
salad that had shrimp, octopus, and other seafood.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We finished with some fruit with kiwi sorbet on top.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After lunch we headed to the room and got all packed for our
afternoon excursion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was the one we
had been looking forward to the most.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
had a private afternoon at horseshoe bay planned.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There they have kayaks, paddle boards, etc.
and you get to spend some hours with the whole entire bay to yourself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We packed our snorkeling gear and headed out at
1:30.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A short boat ride later we
arrived.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We started off the afternoon with
relaxing and soaking up the beautiful view.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It was quite cloudy out but we were lucky to have the sun peak through
from time to time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then we got our snorkeling
gear on and went exploring.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The area is
filled with coral which is what makes the colors of the water so
spectacular.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We snorkeled all over the
bay area.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After a while we headed back
in and got a kayak and paddle board out and explored the bat that way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After a sufficient workout we headed back to
enjoy the cheese platter that had been prepared for us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were three different cheeses, figs,
olives, and nuts along with crackers for us to enjoy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had such a fun picnic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We enjoyed some time on the day bed after a
quick afternoon shower and then headed back out on the kayak and paddle
board.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once we got back to shore we didn’t
have much time so we took a walk along the beach of the bay.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Before we knew it the afternoon had passed
and we had to say goodbye to Horseshoe Bay.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It was such a romantic and memorable trip and really a once in a life
time experience for the two of us.</div>

Once we got back we got showered and dressed for the evening
then sat on the front porch soaking in the view and hearing the waves
crashed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It started raining again right
as we got back so we enjoyed hearing the rain fall and sip on some wine and
gin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After a couple drinks we headed to
dinner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dinner this evening was amazing
as always.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We both started with grilled
scallops with orange salsa.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For the main
course I ordered pan seared snapper fillet on parsley & lemon risotto while
Joe enjoyed sizzling honey, garlic beer with vegetables and steamed rice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For desert Joe got the chocolate nut mouse
cake with sweet summer berry sauce while I enjoyed the Fiji vanilla crème brulee
with caramelized coconut.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since it was quite cloudy out after the rain
we weren’t able to go star gazing so we called it an early night again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We wanted to be well rested for our big plans
the following day!</div>

Joe had to wake up at 4:45 this morning to get on a
conference call.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It wasn’t that big of a
deal since we had been waking up around 6:30 anyways.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He wrapped up his call a little after 6 and
we were ready to start the day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
started with breakfast at 6:30. We enjoyed the usual muffins, fruit, and fresh
juice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For our main course I ordered
toast with crushed banana, fig honey, and ricotta on it while Joe ordered fried
eggs and salmon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once we wrapped up
breakfast we got dressed and headed to the dock at 7 AM.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were off to go diving for the day!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Somosomo strait separated Taveuni and Vanua
Levu and is the prime diving spot in Fiji.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It was about an hour boat ride from our resort so we hit the road
early.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had planned on 3 dives that
day so we knew it would be a long day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The boat ride out was beautiful but cold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was over cast at the resort so we weren’t
too sad about losing a day of sunshine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Of course once we got to the dive spot, it was sunny!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The first dive we did was called the White
Wall.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is a huge wall of white coral
that is accented with other soft coral and sea creatures.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is hard to describe the vastness of the
wall.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can only access this dive
point through a tunnel which was really cool!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You descend through the tunnel and then explore the wall through varying
depths of 70-90 feet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This dive was an
hour and we loved exploring the wall as well as entering and exiting through
the tunnels.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We saw fish that resembled
coral, all different shades of coral, and so much more.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also got to feel some coral and see the

<div class="MsoNormal">
After the first dive we drove to a nearby beach for a break.
They served us tea, fruit, and cookies, and let us relax for a bit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was very grateful for some motion sickness
pills to help settle my stomach as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Although the boat rides were easy, the water was pretty choppy so when
we were sitting on the boat waiting to dive or in the water waiting to get picked
up by the boat I would feel uneasy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After
our break we headed out for our second dive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This was called Rainbow Reef and is home to the most beautiful soft
coral.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because the coral is so healthy
you could literally hear the crackling of the fish eating the coral.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This dive took about 54 minutes and we stayed
about 63 feet deep.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The hard part about
this dive was that you were fighting the current for the most part.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We got friendly with some sharks which was
amazing!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also saw coral that was blue
but when you tapped it it would turn white in an instant.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is the dive site that had the most
fish.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were millions of fish
everywhere.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although they were mostly
smaller than in Tahiti but there were so many of them!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Swimming through the schools of fish while
surrounded by the rainbow coral was a sight to soak in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After the dive we got back on the boat and it
was time for lunch.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lunch was similar to what we had at the waterfalls.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We enjoyed chicken, potato salad, and
salad.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We relaxed on the beach and
soaked up the sun and got warmed up from the dives.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The water was 80 degrees give or take
depending on the depth, but I was still cold!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After about 45 minutes for lunch it was time for our last dive!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The last dive was hands down my
favorite.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was called Cabbage Patch!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was the most breathtaking dive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was called cabbage patch because of the
most brilliant coral that rose up from the white sand.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The cabbage coral literally looks like a head
of cabbage and is simply breathtaking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>On this dive we also saw the grace of a stingray from up close and were
inches away from the most beautiful blue jelly fish.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were a bit larger fish surrounding us
during this dive which was breathtaking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We loved every minute of the dives and were so glad we got to do the
dive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That dive lasted 54 minutes and
was at 45 feet. After that dive we were sufficiently worn out and headed back
to the resort on the hour long boat ride.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We got back a little after 3 and headed to the showers. We cannot wait to see the videos of our dives!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After getting showered we watched the sun set into the
clouds before heading to the dining hall with the other two couples our age to
enjoy their last evening at Matangi.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On
our way to the dining hall we found a bottle of Riesling on our front porch
with a wonderful note from our travel agent!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We are so lucky to get to work with Christi and her agency.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They always treat us so well!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We will definitely be sad to see them go! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Joe enjoyed some Fiji beer and we ate the
chips and tuna dip that they bring out every night.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The chips are amazing and made from a
different root every day!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After a couple
hours it was time for dinner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For diner
we split the starts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had chicken and
corn soup as well as vegetable samosa with tamarind sauce.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For the main course I got the roasted lamb
cutlet, chili mint salsa, sweet potato mash, and wilted watercress.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Joe got half of the lamb and a half serving
of the Matangi prawns, curry sauce, hand pressed coconut cream, rice, roti, and
fresh condiments.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For desert I enjoyed
sorbet that was papaya, fig, and pineapple flavored while Joe ate the ginger
panna cotta.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As always, everything was amazing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After all the diving we were sufficiently
tired so we headed straight to bed!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We had been quite busy the past couple days so this was our
relaxing day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We woke up at 6:30 as
always and I read a bit while Joe got some work done.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At 8 we headed to the dining hall for
breakfast.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Along with the muffins and
fruit Joe enjoyed a breakfast burrito while I enjoyed my omelet which was
chalked full of bacon this time around!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After breakfast we relaxed on the day bed by the pool before heading to
our room around 10 to get our swimsuits on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We decided to relax outside of our bungalow for the morning so that we
could catch some sun and enjoy the beautiful view of the beach and all the
greenery surrounding us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At lunch time we headed to the dining hall to enjoy
lunch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We both started lunch with a goat
cheese salad with celery, parsley, apple & lettuce.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For the main course Joe enjoyed the Mexican beef
& beans in tortilla basket with sour cream and salsa while I enjoyed the
warm salad of tiger prawn with chickpeas, capsicum, mixed lettuce leaves, and
feta cheese. For desert we had Joe’s favorite desert which was peach galette
with homemade vanilla ice cream!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was
so good!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The food was so good!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After lunch we hung out with Summer and Josh
and Joanna and Jessie before they left the island.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After their departure we thought about going
on a hike but since the activity crew was away we decided we would just finish
up the day relaxing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After a shower we got dressed and then laid on the hammock
while watching the sunset.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had booked
a private dinner that overlooked the beach for the evening so we were quite
excited about it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At 7 we headed to the dinner table.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We started with a bottle of Moscato that was
super yummy!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After enjoying some bread
we both started with a prawn tart that was one of the most amazing appetizers
that we had while we were here. For the main course Joe enjoyed a filet mignon topped
with mozzarella and tomato served with eggplant, zucchini, pumpkin, and
scalloped potatoes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I enjoyed a scallop
and pork belly entre served with mashed potatoes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After the main course we enjoyed desert where
I got a poached pear in white wine sauce while Joe had gooey chocolate bread
pudding with homemade chocolate ice-cream.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After desert we were surprised with a beautiful chocolate cake to
celebrate our anniversary and the band serenaded us with a beautiful song. It
was such a special moment to share with Joe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After dinner it was a bit before 9 but we still decided it was time for
bed!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The time at Matangi was coming to
an end so we wanted to make the most of our last full day!</div>

We woke up to our last full day in Fiji.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Where did the time go!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When we woke up there were beautiful blue
skies at 6:30, but around 7 the clouds rolled in and it started raining.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We sat on our front porch watching the rain
fall and catching up on the world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
headed to breakfast around 8 while it was still raining a bit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For breakfast we enjoyed our standard
muffins, fruit, fresh juice, and then Joe ordered a breakfast platter of chipolatas,

stopped and the sun came out!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although
still a bit cloudy, it was perfect for a morning of relaxing by the pool.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We headed to the pool around 9 and enjoyed
the sun.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At 10:30 it was time for us to
go on the island tour.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The tour took us
on a boat around Matangi and the surrounding islands.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We got to see Horseshoe Bay, Turtle Beach,
the Coconut Farm, the Animal Farm and so much more on this island.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also drove around Red Bull Island which is
a super luxurious resort right next to Matangi.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The island was beautiful and the huts were huge!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After exploring, we headed back to Matangi.</div>

and ready for the evening.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had a

the beach to enjoy the sun set one last time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

started with the usual and Joe got a breakfast burrito while I got the omelet. After
wrapping up packing we headed to the pool to soak up the beautiful day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Joe got some work done while I read.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We spent some time talking to the staff and

Joe enjoyed some kava that they had made and we relaxed on
the daybed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think the most annoying
part of the resort was the bats that they have outside.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They come out at night and are quite
noisy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For sound sleepers it isn’t a
problem but man they were loud!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After some
time we tried to call Fiji Airlines to make sure that we were booked on the
flights the following morning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
initial call told us that they had no record of our flight being canceled yet
so they will reach out to us later.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After
a couple hours and all the other members of our flight were around we tried to
call again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This time they had us
rebooked for the flight the following day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They had put in a supplementary flight at 6:45 AM to get us to Nadi, the
main island, but then rebooked us for the 5:30 PM flight so that we wouldn’t
have a long layover.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not trusting the
system and the flights, we decided after much debate to go ahead and take the
6:45 flight to Nadi so that we were definitely going to make the LAX flight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We would just have some time to explore
Nadi.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At 7:30 it was dinner time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I enjoyed some chicken stir-fry while Joe had
chicken curry with tortillas and rice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We also had a vegetable soup for an appetizer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since they had not prepared enough desert for
us in the morning when they took orders we got to enjoy some ice cream which
was fine by me!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had passion fruit and
mango while Joe had chocolate and vanilla.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There is nothing like a yummy homemade fruit ice cream. Since we had a
very early morning ahead of us and a 5:45 AM departure from the resort we
headed to bed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were quite ready to
start making it home the following day.</div>

We woke up bright and early and hopped out of bed to head to
the airport.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The taxi’s arrived at 6:45
and we were on our way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had about 30
minutes at the airport which was cool because we got to see the plane landing
and a beautiful sunrise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After getting
the other passengers off and the luggage unloaded we boarded and were off.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Upon boarding we heard that the LAX flight
was canceled the previous night because while they were trying to load luggage
they broke a part of the plane.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They
were not quite sure what would happen once we arrived in Nadi but if so, they
would provide accommodations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I write
this we are on the plane heading to Nadi to see what will happen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We believe since we received a confirmation for
the LAX flight today before the other flight was canceled that we have
confirmed seats, but you never know!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now
we just enjoy the scenery (whenever there aren’t clouds covering) and see what
happens once we get to Nadi!</div>

We got to Nadi only to hear that not only had our flight to
Nadi been canceled the previous day, but so had the flight to LA.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Apparently everyone had already boarded the
flight to LA when the driver that was driving the truck to load the luggage ran
into the plane.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This dented the side panel
enough to where the plane could not fly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They had to find accommodations for 250 people at 10 PM, which meant
that the majority of them were not in their hotels until 2AM!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We realized that as annoyed as we were for
our flight to be canceled, we were lucky to get to our hotel at 5 PM and enjoy
a nice dinner and a good night sleep.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
After we got to the airport we got work that there was a
flight at 10:05 AM that would be the canceled flight, but after waiting around
for a bit (and some of the other passengers arriving) it was discovered that
someone go the times mixed up and it was actually 5:10 PM.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had confirmed seats for the regular 9:30
PM flight so the group that we had met on our flight to Nadi (David, Vivian, Ming,
and Ken) negotiated a day room at the Raffles which was a hotel that was right
across the street from the hotel (5 minute walk or by shuttle).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were super excited by that and decided to
not even try to get on the earlier flight but enjoy our additional day in
Nadi.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We got to the hotel around 10 and
sat down for breakfast.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The food was not
as wonderful as Matangi but it worked!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
all got omelets, hash browns, and toast which was all great.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After breakfast I got my bathing suit on
while the others got workout clothes on and played a couple hours of tennis!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I enjoyed watching them by the pool.</div>

<li>Matangi is the perfect mix of culture and

got wonderful accommodations but also experienced stuff like an outdoor shower,
kava ceremonies, traditional dance, and so much more.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We felt like we truly saw what Fiji was
about.</li>
<li>Matangi is the perfect size.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The resort was not full but with some younger
couples our age, and some older couples, we got to know every couple that
checked in during our stay there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was
nice to have company around when you wanted, but the privacy of a small island
when you want to be alone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maybe we got
lucky but the guests also made our experience fantastic<span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">.</span></span></span></li>

lucky to get to spend an extra day in Fiji and see something besides

No matter what, I always have trouble saying no to ice cream. With the weather warming up outside, it is the perfect time to start experimenting with new flavors. Since I am trying to eat healthy for our upcoming trip to Fiji, I wanted to make an ice cream that wasn't too tempting. My husband loved the thin mint ice cream last year and we intentionally bought a couple boxes of Girl Scout Cookies to make ice cream with them. Since I am not a huge fan of chocolate (unless paired with peanut butter) I decided to try a chocolate based thin mint ice cream. We have had several people over since we made the batch, and it has been a huge hit! So, here you go...<br />
<br />
<h3>
Chocolate Thin Mint Ice Cream</h3>
<div class="col-xs-9">

Ingredients</h3>
<ul class="ingredients">
<li itemprop="ingredients">3 cups heavy cream</li>
<li itemprop="ingredients">3/4 cup granulated sugar</li>
<li itemprop="ingredients">1 cup dutch processed cocoa</li>
<li itemprop="ingredients">pinch of kosher salt</li>
<li itemprop="ingredients">2 teaspoons peppermint extract</li>

It gives us a perfect excuse to cook and bake. We had not had Joe's best friend and girlfriend over for dinner in a while so we were excited to fire up the green egg and make beer chicken and brats. We have now had the green egg for a couple months and are obsessed. I will have to get better at keeping track of the recipes we have done but we use it at least a couple times a week! For the party, I wanted to make a desert. Since there was a handful of people, I thought a cake would be perfect! It is quick and easy to make and we absolutely loved eating it! Enjoy!<br />

<h2>
<u><b>Chocolate Peanut Butter Torte</b></u></h2>
</div>
</div>
<div class="card-body">
<h3 class="post-title-small upper dk-grey">
Ingredients</h3>
<div class="ing-content">
<i>For the crust:</i><br />
32 Oreo cookies, finely processed into crumbs<br />
5 1/3 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted and cooled<br />
Small pinch of salt<br />
<i>For the crunch:</i><br />
½ cup salted peanuts, finely chopped<br />
½ cup mini chocolate chips<br />
2 tsp. sugar<br />
½ tsp. espresso powder<br />
¼ tsp. ground cinnamon<br />
Dash of ground nutmeg<br />
<i>For the filling:</i><br />
2 cups heavy cream<br />
1¼ cups confectioners’ sugar, sifted<br />
12 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature<br />
1½ cups creamy peanut butter (not natural)<br />
2 tbsp. whole milk<br />
¼ cup salted peanuts, finely chopped<br />
<i>For the topping:</i><br />
½ cup heavy cream<br />
4 oz. bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped<br />
1 cup salted peanuts, finely chopped<br />
1 cup chocolate chips, chopped <br />
<br />
<div class="post-steps text">
<h3 class="post-title-small upper dk-grey">
Directions</h3>
<ul class="directions-list clean">
<li>To
make the crust, preheat the oven to 350° F. Butter a 9-inch springform
pan and place it on a baking sheet. Combine the Oreo crumbs, melted
butter and salt in a small bowl. Toss with a fork to moisten all of the
crumbs. Press into a thin layer covering the bottom and sides of the
springform pan. Freeze the crust for 10 minutes. Bake in the preheated
oven for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool
completely before filling.</li>
<li>To make the crunch, in another
small bowl combine ½ cup of the chopped peanuts, mini chocolate chips,
sugar, espresso powder, cinnamon and nutmeg. Toss with a fork to mix and
set aside.</li>
<li>To prepare the filling, in the bowl of a
stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip 2 cups of the cream
until it holds medium peaks. Beat in ¼ cup of confectioners’ sugar and
whip until the cream holds medium-firm peaks. Scrape the cream into a
separate bowl and refrigerate until needed.</li>
<li>Wipe out (do
not wash) the mixer bowl, replace the whisk with the paddle attachment,
and beat the cream cheese with the remaining 1 cup of confectioners’
sugar on medium speed until the cream cheese is satiny smooth. Beat in
the peanut butter, whole milk, and ¼ cup of the chopped peanuts until
well combined.</li>
<li>Using a large rubber spatula, gently stir
in about 1/4 of the whipped cream just to lighten the mousse. Still
working with the spatula, stir in the crunchy peanut mixture, then
gingerly fold in the remaining whipped cream. Scrape the mousse into the
crust, mounding and smoothing the top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours
or overnight; cover with plastic wrap as soon as the mousse firms.</li>
<li>To
finish the torte, put the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl set
over a saucepan of simmering water. Leave the bowl over the water just
until the chocolate softens and starts to melt, about 3 minutes; remove
the bowl from the saucepan. Bring the ½ cup of cream to a full boil.
Pour the cream over the chocolate and, working with a rubber spatula,
very gently stir together until the ganache is completely blended and
smooth.</li>
<li>Pour the ganache over the torte, smoothing with a
metal icing spatula. Scatter the peanuts and chocolate chips over the top and chill to set
the topping, at least 20 minutes. When the ganache is firm, remove the
sides of the springform pan. Refrigerate until ready to serve.</li>

A couple weeks back my mother in law celebrated her 60th birthday! Since 3 out of the 4 DiDias have birthdays at the end of March, we normally celebrate them together. Since this was a big birthday for my mother in law, my father in law planned a weekend getaway. We made the trip up to Brasstown Valley, GA the first weekend of April. We left on Saturday after Joe finished tennis and started the day with a vineyard tour at Crane Creek Vinyards. Although we have done plenty of tastings, we had never done a full tour! It was absolutely amazing to see all the work that goes into making wine! After that, we headed to the lodge where we were staying for the night. We enjoyed some appetizers and drinks at the bar before doing dinner at the lodge. Since it was Easter Weekend, there was a prime rib buffet for dinner that everyone else did, and I enjoyed an appetizer since I was still full. After that, we watched some basketball by the first then headed to bed. Sunday we woke up and enjoyed some donuts before heading out to church. After church it was time for brunch! The lodge had such an amazing Easter brunch! We started with the fish, there was oysters, smoked salmon, ravioli, and mahi mahi. Then we had some cheeses and meats. We followed that with some lamb, waffles, and sausages. There was so much good food, and then topped that with desert! Needless to say we were stuffed! After brunch we slowly headed back to Atlanta. </div>

<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-1" itemprop="recipeInstructions">Preheat
oven to 200°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set
aside. Wipe the bowl of an electric mixer and the whisk attachment with
paper towel and lemon juice, to remove any trace of grease.
</li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-2" itemprop="recipeInstructions">Add
egg whites and sugar to the mixer bowl and fit onto the top of a medium
saucepan filled with about 1-inch of simmering (not boiling) water. (Be
sure the bottom of your bowl is not touching the water.) Whisk
constantly but gently, until temperature reaches 140°F, or if you don’t
have a candy thermometer, until the sugar has completely dissolved and
the egg whites are hot.
</li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-3" itemprop="recipeInstructions">Dry
the underside of the mixer bowl and transfer to your stand mixer. Whip
using the whisk attachment until the meringue is thick and glossy and
has reached the stiff peak stage.
</li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-4" itemprop="recipeInstructions">While
the meringue is whipping in the mixer, fit your decorating bag with a
plain round pastry tip. Fold over a cuff at the top of the pastry bag
and paint 3, equally-spaced, thin lines of yellow gel colour using your
fine paint brush (you can use any paint brush, but it should only be one
you designate for food) from the pastry tip up toward the cuff.
</li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-5" itemprop="recipeInstructions">Fill
the bag with your meringue (no more than 2/3 full) and pipe 1-1/2-inch
swirls onto one of the lined baking sheets, spacing them about 1-inch
apart. (These will be used to decorate top of cake). On the second
baking sheet, pipe the remaining meringue into flat discs, about
2-inches in diameter, spacing them about 1" apart. (These will be used
on top of the filling inside the assembled cake.)
</li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-6" itemprop="recipeInstructions">Bake
for 60 minutes, rotating the trays after 30 minutes. Lower the oven to
175°F and bake until dry, about 40 minutes more. Keep in an airtight
container until needed.

<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-8" itemprop="recipeInstructions">Wash
lemons really well (with a bristled brush under cold water) and using a
zester, remove all of the coloured portion of the peel from the fruit
(not the white pith–it’s bitter!) into a bowl or onto a piece of wax
paper. Rotate fruit as necessary to get as much of the zest off. Repeat
until you have 2 teaspoons (30 ml) of the zest, and set aside.

the lemons in half crosswise (I find room temperature citrus is best
for juicing) using a sharp knife, and extract as much of the juice as
you can using a citrus reamer, or I use a small, manual citrus juicer.
(Just be sure to catch all of the juice in a bowl and to completely
strain the seeds before using.) Repeat the juicing until you have 2/3
cup (160 ml) of the strained juice.
</li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-10" itemprop="recipeInstructions">Get
your double boiler ready by filling a saucepan with 1″ of water, then
placing a metal bowl on top of the saucepan. You will need to ensure the
bowl fits snugly into the top of the saucepan and that the bottom of
the bowl doesn’t touch the water (important, or your eggs will cook).
You can now remove the bowl and continue with making the curd.
</li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-11" itemprop="recipeInstructions">Whisk the juice, whole eggs, egg yolks and sugar in the bowl until smooth. Add the butter cubes to the bowl, but don’t stir.
</li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-12" itemprop="recipeInstructions">Heat
the water in the saucepan over low heat until it simmers (not boils)
and place the bowl atop the rim. Stirring gently, but constantly, using
heatproof spatula or wooden spoon, cook until the curd has thickened and
all of the butter has melted and is incorporated, about 10 minutes
(this can vary). To test if the curd is thick enough, remove the spatula
or spoon from the curd and check that it’s coated.
</li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-13" itemprop="recipeInstructions">Strain
the curd over a bowl using a fine-mesh sieve and then stir in the zest.
Cover with plastic wrap pressed directly against the curd (to prevent a
skin from forming) and chill for at least 3 hours (I like to chill it
overnight). It also thickens up a bit more while chilling. Keep
refrigerated.
</li>
<div class="instruction-label" id="zlrecipe-instruction-14">
<u>For the Lemon Swiss Meringue Buttercream:
</u></div>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-15" itemprop="recipeInstructions">Wipe
the bowl of an electric mixer with paper towel and lemon juice, to
remove any trace of grease. Add egg whites, sugar and salt, and simmer
over a pot of water (not boiling), whisking constantly but gently, until
temperature reaches 160°F, or if you don't have a candy thermometer,
until the sugar has completely dissolved and the egg whites are hot.
</li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-16" itemprop="recipeInstructions">With
whisk attachment of mixer, begin to whip until the meringue is thick,
glossy, and the bottom of the bowl feels neutral to the touch (this can
take up to 10 minutes or so). *Don't begin adding butter until the
bottom of the bowl feels neutral, and not warm.
</li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-17" itemprop="recipeInstructions">Switch
over to paddle attachment and, with mixer on low speed, add butter
cubes, one at a time, until incorporated. Increase mixer speed to medium
and whip until it has reached a silky smooth texture (if curdles, keep
mixing and it will come back to smooth). *If mixture is too runny,
refrigerate for about 15 minutes and continue mixing with paddle
attachment until it comes together. Add lemon curd and vanilla,
continuing to beat on medium speed until well combined. Add yellow soft
gel paste colour until desired shade of yellow is achieved.
</li>
<div class="instruction-label" id="zlrecipe-instruction-18">
<u>For the Lemon Cake:
</u></div>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-19" itemprop="recipeInstructions">Preheat
oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease, line with parchment and flour three
round 8-inch pans. I use Parchment Paper Circles for ease. In the bowl
of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and 1 cup
(200 g) of the sugar on medium high speed until very pale and fluffy,
about 5 minutes. In a medium bowl, sift flour, baking soda and salt. Set
aside.
</li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-20" itemprop="recipeInstructions">Lower
mixer speed to medium low and add the egg yolks, one at a time,
scraping the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula after each
addition. Add lemon juice, vanilla, lemon extract and lemon zest and
beat until incorporated, about 30 seconds. With mixer running, add dry
ingredients. Add yogurt, scraping down the sides of the bowl to make
sure everything is well incorporated. Coat blueberries with flour then add blueberries to cake mix. Mix until they are Incorporated.</li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-21" itemprop="recipeInstructions">In
another grease-free bowl, (or if you're lucky enough to have another
mixer bowl) whip egg whites and remaining cup of sugar until they reach
stiff peak stage. Fold meringue into batter until just combined, and
divide batter evenly among the three prepared pans. Use a digital
kitchen scale to weigh pans to ensure even layers, if possible (425 g of
batter for each layer).
</li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-22" itemprop="recipeInstructions">Bake
first two layers 2" apart in center of oven on top of a baking sheet
until a cake tester comes clean when inserted into the center, about 25
minutes. Be careful to not over-bake -- check cake at 20 minutes, but
not before, and once you feel it’s almost ready, set the timer for 2
minute intervals. Repeat with final cake layer. Let cool on racks for 10
minutes before loosening the sides with a small metal spatula, and
invert onto greased wire racks. Gently turn cakes back up, so the tops
are up and cool completely.
</li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-23" itemprop="recipeInstructions">Wrap
tightly and store at room temperature for up to 2 days, refrigerator
for up to 5 days, or frozen for up to 2 months. Best enjoyed day 1 or 2.
</li>
<div class="instruction-label" id="zlrecipe-instruction-24">
<u>Assembly of the Lemon Delight Layer Cake:
</u></div>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-25" itemprop="recipeInstructions">Trim
any doming or top crust and side crust from cake layers using a very
sharp serrated knife (I use the Mac Bread Knife for all of my cake
trimming, splitting, etc.).
</li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-26" itemprop="recipeInstructions">Use
a cake turntable for filling, frosting and decorating, if a possible.
Place a small dollop of frosting in the center of a cake plate or 8″
round thin foil-covered cake board, and place the bottom cake layer on
top, trimmed side up (face up).
</li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-27" itemprop="recipeInstructions">Pipe
a dam (a rim around the top perimeter of the cake layer) of lemon curd
buttercream around the cake layer using a large round Pastry Tip fitted
inside a Decorating Bag. Then pipe another smaller circle of buttercream
a few inches toward the center. Spoon lemon curd into the open spaces
and spread evenly with a small offset palette knife, taking care to keep
the curd within the dam (otherwise it will ooze out of the sides of the
cake). Gently place cover the filling with a layer of the flat baked
meringue discs, breaking them into smaller pieces if necessary to cover
most of the layer.
</li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-28" itemprop="recipeInstructions">Repeat
with second cake layer and more buttercream, lemon curd and meringue
discs. Place final cake layer, trimmed side down. Look straight down
from above cake and be sure the layers are all lined up, shifting gently
if necessary. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 30
minutes.
</li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-29" itemprop="recipeInstructions">Remove
from fridge and put a generous scoop of buttercream on top, spreading
evenly with a small offset palette knife and working your way down the
sides until you have a thin layer of frosting over the entire cake
(crumb-coat). Chill until set, another 30 minutes.
</li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-30" itemprop="recipeInstructions">Remove
from refrigerator and covering the cake in another layer of
buttercream, but this time using a thicker layer of buttercream and
creating a smooth finish.
</li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-31" itemprop="recipeInstructions">For
the top of the cake, using your decorating bag fitted with the large
round tip , 2/3 full with buttercream, pipe 8 small swirls, evenly
spaced. Top each swirl with a baked meringue swirls, and fill the spaces
in between with lemon drop candy. Gently spoon a layer of lemon curd on
top of the cake, using a toothpick to pull the curd to the inside edges
of the candy and swirls.
</li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-32" itemprop="recipeInstructions">Store
finished cake covered in refrigerator (due to the lemon curd filling),
but serve at room temperature (you can remove from refrigerator several
hours ahead of serving).</li>

At this point I have decided this is where the whole30 comes to an end, for now...Like I said before, we eat very healthy in general so it wasn't a HUGE change in our diet. It helped me be a lot more aware of the wide spread use of sugars, sulfates, etc. in foods that don't seem to be "processed". I really did enjoy the whole process, especially holding myself accountable. I will be taking a break for a couple weeks simply because we have a couple exciting things coming up. Joe's birthday is this week so we definitely want to enjoy that, I am heading home for a couple days so who wants to give up some amazing home cooked meals, and we are doing a weekend getaway in Chattanooga. Some things in life just have to be enjoyed and celebrated! That being said, we have been breaking the rules and weighing ourselves, and we both lost a very significant amount of weight considering we lead a fit and healthy lifestyle. You are definitely less bloated when eating whole30, and I could see a noticeable difference in my core. The plan is to do two more weeks leading up to Fiji so that we are looking and feeling our best going into our vacation! <br />
<br />
I wanted to make sure to post our last week of meals. The high point was our seared tuna steaks! We found some at the international market and they were absolutely amazing! Other than that, we did a lot of chicken and lamb like we did previously. Chicken can be done so many ways you really cannot get tired of it! So, here we go...7 more days of meals and workouts!<br />

As you may know, I am a HUGE fan of seafood and I am pretty sure I
could eat it every day. That being said, sometimes you gotta mix it
up. We tend to go with what we know, salmon, tilapia, etc. but this
time Joe brought home some tuna steaks from the international market. I
hope that they have it there regularly because it truly was one of my
favorite meals we have made. It was so fresh and light and full of
flavor! So, here we go with the recipe!<br />
<br />
<div class="ERSIngredientsHeader ERSHeading">
Ingredients</div>
<ul>
<li class="ingredient" itemprop="ingredients">1½ lbs. very fresh albacore tuna steak</li>
<li class="ingredient" itemprop="ingredients">4 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for searing</li>
<li class="ingredient" itemprop="ingredients">1 tsp. salt, plus extra for sprinkling</li>
<li class="ingredient" itemprop="ingredients">2 limes, zest grated</li>
<li class="ingredient" itemprop="ingredients">3 limes, juiced</li>
<li class="ingredient" itemprop="ingredients">2 ripe avocados, diced</li>
<li class="ingredient" itemprop="ingredients">¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced</li>
<li class="ingredient" itemprop="ingredients">3 tbsp. fresh dill</li>
<li class="ingredient" itemprop="ingredients">Freshly ground black pepper</li>
</ul>
Instructions <ol>
<li class="instruction" itemprop="recipeInstructions">Drizzle
the tuna steaks with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. In a
medium skillet over high heat, sear the tuna steaks for 1-2 minutes on
each side, depending on the thickness. Cool slightly. I had 2-inch thick
steaks so I seared on each side for 2 minutes. Outside of the tuna
should be white and slightly golden and inside still visible pink.</li>
<li class="instruction" itemprop="recipeInstructions">In
a small bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, lime zest, and lime
juice. Season with freshly ground black pepper. (original recipe
called for 1 tsp. wasabi powder, 2 tsp. soy sauce, and a dash of hot
sauce but we left that out to keep it whole30)</li>
<li class="instruction" itemprop="recipeInstructions">Cut
the tuna in 1-inch chunks and place in a large bowl. Add the avocados,
scallions, red onion and dill. Pour the vinaigrette over the mixture
and mix well.</li>
<li class="instruction" itemprop="recipeInstructions">Enjoy!</li>

So we have reached the halfway mark of Whole30. I don't think I see too many changes in how I feel, but hey I guess that's not a terrible thing! Like I said before, we ate pretty healthy leading up to this so it wasn't a huge lifestyle change. I have become a lot more aware of exactly what goes into packaged foods, weather it is mustard or bacon. It is shocking how many products add sugar to them. The other thing that came up a lot was 100% all natural not really being all natural! It has been fun educating myself on what really is "non processed". For more information on Whole30, follow the link <a href="http://whole30.com/">here</a>. In the previous blog (<a href="http://thelifeofvida.blogspot.com/2015/03/whole30-challenge.html">here</a>) I documented why we decided to do the challenge.<br />
<br />
There aren't too many things that I miss. The first couple days you obviously think about what you cannot eat. Once you get past that step, it simply becomes a habit to grab a carrot when you want a snack, enjoy a cup of tea at night instead of desert, and simply stay away from the fridge. Two weeks into it, I would obviously still love an ice cream Sunday, but that only comes when I see someone else eating one! So, I haven't decided how long I will do it, since I haven't seen many changes in the way I look, feel, etc, but it sure has been fun! For now, here is the first two weeks of meal plans that we did, along with a quick explanation of what I did to workout! Enjoy!<br />

We had to find something to replace the 10AM snack, so we started looking around. Egg muffins seemed like the most simple, Whole30 approved meals that sounded amazing! They really are quick to make, and you can prepare them on Sunday for a whole week! We made sure to make 15 so that he could have 3 each day. He has enjoyed them, and they are easy to customize to your taste. You can anything to them, from peppers, tomatoes, other meats, and make them your own! We have made them the same the past two times so here is the recipe we have used.<br />
<br />
<u><b>Egg Muffins</b></u><br />
<u>Ingredints</u><br />
1 cup diced
mushrooms<br />
½ cup diced onion<br />
2 cloves diced garlic<br />
½ lbs ground pork seasoned<br />
red pepper flakes<br />
cayenne pepper<br />
garlic powder<br />
kosher salt<br />
pepper<br />
12 eggs<br />
<br />
<u>Directions</u><br />
Preheat oven to 350F. Dice mushrooms, onions, garlic (and anything else you would like in your muffins). Saute until they are browned. Season ground pork with red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder. Saute until cooked through. Whisk eggs until beaten well. Add salt and pepper to taste, then add the remaining ingredients and mix well. <br />
<br />
Distribute mix into desired muffin tins, lined with silicone muffin cups for easy removal. Fill approximately 3/4 full so they do not overflow. Cook for 30 minutes or until center is firm. Remove and cool. Enjoy!<br />

It is a lot harder to go out to eat and find something that is Whole30 eligible, and salads can get boring (especially for Joe) and don't necessarily fill him up. Because of that we had to come up with some creative lunch options. It is always nice to be able to make a couple meals on Sunday for the week, so Joe found this Chicken Salad that called for ingredients that we already had at home. He enjoyed it for two lunches throughout the week to make it more exciting. It is quite flavorful so I hope you enjoy!<br />
<br />
<u><b>Avocado Chicken Salad</b></u><br />
<br />
<u>Ingredients</u><br />
1 Pkg boneless, skinless chicken breasts (2 or 3)<br />
1 avocado<br />
1/4 of an onion, chopped<br />
juice of 1/2 a lime<br />2 Tbsp dill (that was all we had at the house and it actually tasted good, the original recipe calls for cilantro)<br />
some salt and pepper, to taste<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<u>Directions</u><br />
Cook chicken breast until done, let cool, and then shred. Add all of the other ingredients and mix.<br />
<br />
It's quick, simple, and yummy! <br />

Healthy LifeStyle - something often overlooked in today's society<br />
<br />
I want to start by saying for my husband and I, being on a diet is not the focus of us participating in the Whole30 challenge (our goal is mentioned later). Any person would be lying if they said they never wanted to change something about their looks. No matter how fit you are or how healthy you are, there are day's that you simply do not feel the best. Maybe you feel fat, your abs aren't big enough, or your muscles are too big as a female for a shirt to fit properly. In the society that we live in today, everyone is conditioned to search for perfection. The idea of perfection comes in different forms for everyone, and every day we should strive take a step closer to make us a better person. <br />
<br />
For Joe and I, we tend to live a healthy lifestyle. We are active and work out regularly, whether it is a quick trip to the gym, a yoga class, or a tennis match. We also eat fairly healthy and don't eat out very often, simply because I love cooking. That being said, I also love baking, ice cream, and Girl Scout cookie season. I don't have a huge sweet tooth and we may lead a healthy lifestyle, but sometimes I simply have no self control. It's easy for me to eat something unhealthy early in the day, then continue the trend simply because I already messed up a "healthy" day. I also travel a lot, and sometimes it is simple to grab something quick on the go, not necessarily thinking about the nutritional value. I think it is easy to get in a cycle to have a desert after dinner every day, and slowly but surely you crave more and more sweets. Plus, I am 26 and don't want to live my life not allowing myself to eat
foods I enjoy for really long amounts of time! I don't think I will be
80 one day and think back no how lucky I was to not eat my ice cream
because I was on a diet!<br />
<br />
Knowing all of this, I had seen/hear/read about a lot of diets/cleanses/etc. Although I had entertained many in the past, none of them seemed to speak to me, since my focus really isn't to lose weight. A lot of them I questioned, and for that reason I never decided to do them. I do want to say that I am not judging others that have done any of the mentioned challenges or diets below, they simply are not for me (just like Whole30 may not be for you). A lot of my friends have done one or many of the below, and experienced great results! Everyone's body's are different and everyone's lifestyles are different, so I really don't believe diets or healthy lifestyles can be "one size fits all". <br />
<br />
<b>Juice Cleanse </b>- This is something that I don't this is a "healthy" approach to life. Overindulging for a couple days/weeks/months, and think you can reverse it in a couple days by only drinking a "cleansing juice". It may work for some people, but it simply doesn't seem appealing to me. I cannot force myself to drink something that doesn't taste good to me for days without any solid foods. I had also heard some horror stories (including one from my mom when she did it years and years ago) that gave the cleanses a bad taste in my mind.<br />
<br />
<b>Gluten Free </b>- This is simply a fad diet that somehow caught on like wild fire.There are people out there in the world that are forced to have a gluten free diet for medical reasons. Without getting into too many details, I have family members that are Celiac, and they will be the first to tell you that it is something that you simply could not life through without knowing you had the intolerance at a young age. Joe and I have always prepared whole wheat pastas, made whole wheat breads, and enjoyed whole grain granola, and there so many great nutritional aspects of whole grains that people seem to forget. Looking at ingredient lists of gluten free pastas and breads show that there were even more processed chemicals thrown into these foods in order to make them taste good. For this reason, gluten free never even crossed my mind.<br />
<br />
<b>Paleo</b> - I have a lot of friends that do CrossFit and have gone through the Paleo journey. Although the concept makes sense, some of it never made sense in my mind. The main obstacle I had in my head was all of the Paleo recipes that simply mimic regular food. I don't think our ancestors were trying to make bread out of almond flour and dates, and brownies that taste like brownies with the use of some crazy ingredients.<br />
<br />
There were several others that have come up, but none seemed to work. After having a friend do Whole30 (a variation of it) I started reading about it. A lot of what I struggled with in the Paleo diet was mentioned in the introduction to the challenge. It was kept simple and straight forward. No grains, sugar (natural or man made), legumes, dairy, processed foods, or preservatives. Although they emphasize to not edit what they write is approved and unapproved, it didn't match what I wanted to do perfectly, so we made some changes. We decided that we wouldn't eat potatoes during the duration of the challenge, although they have recently been approved in Whole30. I am not a huge potato eater anyways so this was a simple decision on my end! Something I couldn't buy into was smoothies. Although they aren't labeled off limits in Whole30, they advise against them. Their reasoning simply did not make sense to me, so we will continue with our smoothies in the morning. I think they keep me full longer than eating the fruit whole, which is what their argument was for not having smoothies, and in the end, they are just something I was not willing to give up.<br />
<br />
So, with these minor changes, and Joe's buy it, we were set to go! Here are my thoughts so far...<br />
<ul>
<li>First, I will say, it makes it much easier to do it with a friend, roommate, or significant other. We are only in day 2, but seeing Joe's enthusiasm about the journey makes it that much easier for me!</li>
<li>Prepare Meals - Joe's biggest concern is what will replace his daily yogurt and granola for breakfast. At times he also goes out to eat for lunch, and he wanted to know what he could eat for lunch! We took about an hour on Sunday to prepare some breakfast and lunch for the week, as well as really plan out dinners! Quite frankely this was so fun for me but makes the work week much easier!</li>
<li>Don't think about what you can't eat, focus on what you can eat!</li>
<li>READ all labels! I tend to read a lot of labels but I have never notices just how many things have sugar in them!</li>
</ul>
As we go, I will post what we eat, new recipes, and my thoughts! The last thing to do is set a goal! So here we go.<br />
<br />
<b>GOAL: </b>Become more aware of what goes into my body, even when I think it is "healthy". Take 25 days (we are only doing 25 days since Joe's birthday is the 26th of the month) to truly enjoy simple foods and let my body take a rest a bit and not have to process any preservatives or processed food! Enjoy 25 days of clean eating to help refocus on the healthy lifestyle we try to lead.<br />
<br />
So with that, here we go! Link below for the program!<br />
