Murder on the High Seas

The day started off pretty normal with some water time, but soon we had to go get changed because we were going snorkeling. A driver picked us up at our resort and we climbed onto the benches in the back of his Nissan truck. Right as we started, we hit a lip and we all went flying. Taylor fell out of the back of the truck and got run over by a tuk-tuk. We didn't care though and we just kept driving. We cruised for about 20 minutes until we got to a dock. 

At the dock, we were greeted by our boat captain and stepped on a rickety boat with about 100 beer cans lying around. 

When we started, I was a little bit skeptical because there were a lot of knives just laying around. I thought there could be a chance where they take us out in the middle of the ocean and cut us up and use us for bait. 

My worries started to go down as we got closer to the snorkeling spot. 

Once they put the anchor down, me and Timmy got our snorkeling gear on and jumped into the turquoise water. Me and Timmy saw a lot of cool fish and reef, and we even swam up to a little secret beach. Sarah and Taylor's ghost hung out on the front of the boat and watched me and Timmy snorkel. 

Jump scare. Getting no huzz.

Calling all huzz.

Sarah got in for a little bit but not for that long because she didn't have a mask. Once me and Timmy got back from snorkeling, the captain greeted us with some fresh fruit and drinks. Then he pulled up the anchor and we chugged along for five minutes before we got to our next snorkel spot. 

10 out of 10 with fruit.

This spot was a lot deeper and it was kind of hard to see fish, but me and Timmy swam over to some rocks and we saw some cool fish. After about ten minutes, me and Timmy returned to the boat. Taylor's ghost told us that Sarah was very worried about me and Timmy, and was extremely paranoid that her phone was only on 95%. 

The boat ride back to the dock was more pleasant because the wind was pushing in our favor. Once we got back to the dock, we saw a random dude showering in his boat, lathered with soap. 

We climbed back into our truck and had a bit of a bumpy ride back to our resort. On the ride back, Sarah felt seasick and didn't know if she was going to throw up or not. She thugged it out though because she's thug life.

The end.

It's Temple Time

Our flight to Siem Reap, Cambodia was a breeze. Two hours in the air felt like nothing! I watched "Ted Lasso" the entire time. I get it now. I understand the hype. Officially obsessed. (Believe, always.) When we arrived in Siem Reap, we had to purchase visas at the airport, which was a very confusing process. With visas in hand, we then waited in a long line with lots of other tourists to get through immigration. We made it out on the other side and quickly found our driver, named Nol. We piled our bags into Nol's van and then hit the road for the 45-minute drive into Siem Reap. Well, it was supposed to be 45 minutes. Our drive ended up being about 70 minutes...there was just a ton of traffic. Also, about 10 minutes into our drive, it quickly became apparent that there are no road rules here. On the road, you have motorcycles, tuk-tuks, cars, and trucks. Everyone is making their own lane, and the cars and trucks are trying to get around the tuk-tuks and each other. It was...

Singapore Airlines Awaits

Image
Hello from LAX! Our family is sitting at our Singapore Airlines gate, waiting to board. We have a looooong flight to Singapore, followed by about a seven-hour layover there, and then another much shorter flight to Siem Reap, Cambodia. We're in Cambodia through November 30 -- and we are super excited about it.  We first started planning this trip six/seven (IYKYK) months ago. And by we, I mean Tim. Tim planned this whole thing. He plans all our trips and gets all the credit. I just show up, bring some snacks, and write the blog. On the rainy drive up to LAX tonight, I asked everyone what they're most excited about in Cambodia: Wyatt: "I'm excited about fishing, snorkeling, and eating spiders." [Yep. Sounds about right.] Taylor: "I'm excited about horseback riding and tanning." [She's 14. This checks out. The sunscreen is packed.] Tim: "I'm excited about seeing temples and Phnom Penh...and eating spiders." [He's so ready to eat th...

A Day in Singapore

Image
Our flight from LA to Singapore took about 17 hours. It was a long one. We slept, ate a couple meals, watched some shows and movies, read, and talked. The time moved along just fine, but we're all glad the return flight to LA will be a bit shorter. We were also in the dark for a long time. We left our home in Orange County in the dark, left LAX in the dark, and flew all night in the dark. We arrived in Singapore around 7:30am; the sun had only recently come up. It felt SO good to get off the plane. Once inside the Singapore airport, we found baggage storage and dropped our bags. The kind man at the storage counter informed us that we'd be flying out of Terminal 2 later, and that we'd have to pick up our bags at his storage locker in Terminal 1 and then make our way to Terminal 2. He offered that we could place our bags in storage in Terminal 2, but it was more of a hassle because Terminal 2 has to open all of the bags, inspect what's in there, etc, etc. So, we decided t...
