Puerto Princesa, Palawan


So waaaaaay back in March I took a little adventure to South East Asia. My teaching contract was up at the end of February so I had planned a month of fun in the sun island hopping before coming back home to California. It was a nice little reward I had saved up for after completing my year abroad.

I kicked off my journey with Diane and we went to the Philippines, to the island of Palawan. We stayed in Puerto Princesa in the Subli Guest Cabins. The people at Subli were super helpful and awesome. The breakfasts were cooked up fresh in the morning, you could lay beneath their giant mango tree, and somebody was always there to call you a motorbike for a fair price. The cabins themselves were surrounded by lush vegetation and little fearless geckos.

July Mini Vacation to Monterey Bay


Last month John and I took a trip up to Monterey for John's birthday. We met up with his family and did the aquarium, Carmel, and drove back home down Highway 1. It was a great reminder of how beautiful California's coast  is and how happy I am to be back :)
