Back home, Spanish Fort, Alabama for the holidays

 We took almost a month on the cruise ship to return to California, then we flew to Alabama.  We had so much fun on the ship. Being home for two months was wonderful! We had Thanksgiving dinner, Christmas meals and hugged family.  Making Christmas cookies was fun and making smores over the camp fire.

We left home in January with a 10-month plan broken into three parts: Hawaii to the Great wall, Southeast Asia, and Europe ending with a cruise home in November.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

Singapore, getting ready to board the ship for a month cruise back to the US.

 There's a lot to see in this city, it's so clean and modern; we visited "Garden of the Bay", "Mariner Bay Sands Hotel".  We didn't realize it but there a larger Mall underground that has AC at the hotel.  The place looks much different at night.  We also enjoyed Chinatown; it was much cleaner than any Chinatown that we have been to.  Everything was more expensive than a large city in the US, way too much!

                                                           

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Part two of Thailand, this time we are in Southern Thailand (Phuket)

We are stayed a month in a beach town, Kamala Beach, a wonderful place to for a 30 day stay. A storm came in week two, so we were locked in room for three days. Here's some of what we did in 30 days:

Took a ferry to Phi Phi Island, they have great beaches too.
Rode the scooter all over the main island of Phuket.
Watched the sunset evening, after evening (no it didn't get old).
Went to the night markets, many of them.
Went to the mall, go place to get our steps in when it's HOT!
Went to Old Town Phuket.
