Vacation Dreaming

August 6, 2014Uncategorizedthemightaswellers One comment

One of the biggest reasons we decided to move to the Middle East was because of the travel opportunities. Destinations that are only a dream in our current life look like they are realistic options for us once we move to Kuwait. Since I have been bitten so badly by the travel bug I have spent an endless amount of time online looking at flights and dreaming. We know that with our work schedules at the school we have a week off in Fall and Spring and a couple weeks off for winter break. This time off together is such a luxury that we really want to soak up this amazing vacation time. Here are a few of the destinations that are ranking pretty high on our dream list right now:

1. Kenya/Tanzania: Lions, tigers, and ~~bears~~ giraffes oh my!

2. Sri Lanka: Elephants playing in the water, seriously, I die from the cuteness.

3. Maldives: We got to stay at an over water bungalow while we were in Panama a few years ago and have been dying to stay in one again. The crystal blue water doesn’t hurt either.

4. Abu Dhabi & Dubai: All you need to know is there is a waterside that goes through a shark tank.

Anyone been to any of these destinations or have an idea of a location we should be looking into? We would love to hear your feedback!

Long Minnesota Goodbye: Bemidji Edition

Bemidji has such a special place in my heart. I went to college there, met awesome friends there, met Mitch there, and got engaged there. We have so many awesome memories there and love that we still have friends that are in the area so we can create even more. While we were in Walker with Mitch’s family we knew we had to carve out some time to hang out with these awesome people. Mother Nature and the Work Gods were pulling in our favor as it was a gorgeous day on Friday and our friends were either able to take the day off of work or sneak out after a half day. We dropped the boat in the water early in the afternoon and stayed out till the sun went down.

Saying goodbye has never been so much fun!

Long Minnesota Goodbye

With less than three weeks remaining before we get on the plane and head for Kuwait we are officially in the midst of the Long Minnesota Goodbye. We want to see as many of our friends and family as possible in the next few weeks and we are starting that off by spending a week up in Northern Minnesota with Mitch’s family.
