  • Lessons I Learned from My Motorbike.

    Lessons I Learned from My Motorbike.

    This post is a little different for me. I thought of it, of all places, on my motorbike. I never wanted to buy a motorbike. I don’t really think of them as “cool” or “fun.” (I’m a mom of six, what even is fun, anyway?). In fact, I was adamantly against buying a bike when…

  • Spring Break, 2022!🎉

    Spring Break, 2022!🎉

    Never thought this day would come, but after almost two full years of distance learning, the kids are finally going back to in-person school! We found out over our spring break—which we spent revisiting An Bang beach and the “ancient city” of Hội An. We also pulled off a quick trip to Hạ Long Bay.…

  • Exploring the Mekong Delta.

    Exploring the Mekong Delta.

    For Lunar New Year (Tết) we went to Ho Chi Minh City (“HCMC,” previously, Saigon, before the war) and Cần Tho two cities in the south, along the Mekong Delta. We had been to HCMC previously, but not Cần Tho. Since I am still exhausted by COVID-life and distance learning, here is our trip, once…

    Phú Quốc in Photos.

    I’m lazy. In lieu of blog post, please accept this photo collage. Let’s be honest, that’s what you’re here for anyway…

    It’s Always Sunny in Sa Pa…

    Except it’s not. In December we went to the northwestern mountains of Vietnam to a popular tourist town, Sa Pa. Sa Pa is known for its weather, cooler than Hà Nội, many people travel to Sa Pa for a break from the heat during the summer and mountainous tiered rice paddy views. Sa Pa is…

  • Spring Break at the Beach (Hội An).

    Spring Break at the Beach (Hội An).

    As most of you know, WE LOVE THE BEACH. Our favorite memories have been made at the beach. There is nothing better than a drink in hand listening to the waves, sitting in the warm sun, watching the kids splash (we think they love it, too). For spring break this year we decided to go…

  • Hanoi’s Wet Markets (Chợ Châu Long).

    This week I went on a tour led by my sons’ international school. The tour is designed to orient new families to Hanoi. One of the areas we visited was Chợ Châu Long (chợ, meaning market). Châu Long is a traditional wet market. In 2015-2016, while living in Thailand, we had visited many wet markets…

    …and then there was CHINA (Beijing, Xi’an, Shanghai, Hong Kong). 

    We have just completed our longest and last family trip in Asia:  CHINA.  We spent ten days touring Beijing, Xi’an, Shanghai and Hong Kong.

    Hanoi in Photos (Hanoi, Vietnam). 

    I think our short stop to Hanoi is best presented in photos.  Hanoi is bustling, chaotic, strange and lovely…

  • Coming Home Again (Thank You). 

    Coming Home Again (Thank You). 

    “There is nothing half so pleasant as coming home again…” One month to go.  The whirlwind, year-long tour is almost at an end.  Although we still have a few trips left I wanted to take a moment from our house hunting and wrapping up to say:  Thank you.
