Week 13

Week 13

Where We Went: Ko Tao + Kuala Lumpur

Funniest Thing We Did: An asian toddler seated in his highchair is all of the sudden taking selfies with a hijab adorned stranger while his mom goes to the breakfast buffet.  Later, the adorned stranger returns to the table to show mom the selfie she took (this time with the snapchat filter giving them both flower crowns) and asks her if it’s okay to post.  

Craziest Thing We Did: Chelsea got to dive with whale sharks two days in a row.  AMAZING!

Best Thing We Did: SCUBA dive together. Adam got certified and we went on his final two certification dives together.  Amazing!  Also, a really beautiful sunset.​

Tastiest Thing We Did: Seafood platter at Barracuda on Koh Tao…with passionfruit mojito!
Coolest thing we Learned: Buddy Check: BCD, Weights, Releases, Air, Final Okay!  =D
Biggest Surprise: Christmas trees all over a muslim country (Malaysia).  
Other Updates:

• We spent Thanksgiving doing nothing special at all (meaning no turkey) but being more thankful than ever for this amazing life we get to live together.
• Got to skype with family on their Thanksgiving (day after for us!)
• Chelsea got 6 dives in at Champon (3) , White Rock and Twins (2).  Whale sharks were the highlight for sure - saw them four times.
• Things like blow drying my hair are so far in the past that it barely occurs to me that I’m not doing it.
• We met so many nice people diving at Ban’s.  We made friends with all the people we dove with, dive masters and those Adam got certified with.
• KL is the most humid place we’ve been.
