Singapore #1

In the afternoon, we went and visited Sentosa Island. It is a tourist/local trap with a number of amusement park areas and rides as well as some decent man made beaches. It is a nice getaway for those living in the city. We did some luging and also rode a way to high for my liking sky tram/chairlift. At sunset, we walked around downtown singapore. It is amazing the amount of people packed into one city adn subway system. The river walk was a nice place to unwind.

Our first day in Singapore, we signed up for a half day trip to Johor Baru, Malaysia. It was not overy stimulating, but we got some new stamps in our passports. Yeehaw. Dixie did an improptu dance number with the troupe above. She did quite well and I was impressed. Unfortuntaley I do not know how to post video to the blog.

Batangas Dive Trip #3

For those of you who do not know where Batangas is, it is a grueling 4 hour drive from Manila in stop and go traffic the whole way. The Eagle Point Resort was right on the water, so easy dive access. It was good to be away from it all and relax with friends.

We just got back from a great week of diving and visiting singapore. Diving in Batangas was awesome. The typhoon had just past and the weather held for us. Chad and Sho came with us for another adventure together. There were a ton of nudibranchs and great picture ops. We saw a turle and also a hug school of swirling jacks. The rest of the diving was smaller things. It is still amazing to see all of the color that can be underwater. A rough couple of days.

Thanksgiving

Hawkfish

Thanksgiving Dinner-note the ketchup

Happy belated Thanksgiving. This is one of Dixie's and my favorite times of year. We missed being able to celebrate with family, but it was good to be with good friends. After our dinner, we did a dive and saw two turtles, with Gordon and Julie seeing a 5 foot black tip shark. We are very thankful to God for being near to us this past year. We are especially thankful for our family and friends. Cheers.

Hello All. Life the past few weeks has been rolling along. We had a great hike on sabbath with the youth to thousand steps. No turtles this time. Work is very hectic and we are trying to keep our heads above water. Seraya is great and has added alot to our home. Island life is still tough to beat.
