For Irene

Once upon a time we were laying by a pool in the hot sun...

And we were having fish pedicures whenever the mood struck us. (Oh, but they are not just fish...they are Doctor Fish with magical powers that can transform a persons entire life!)
Vince made friends with more monkeys. They are much less aggressive than the Balinese monkeys.
Can you count how many monkeys are in this shot?
Vince got out of bed at 6 am and stood in line for three hours so that I could have tickets to visit the sky bridge at the twin towers. He waited without coffee or pastry, he was really my hero.
While we waited for our turn on the elevator I caught the kids in this candid moment. This moment really made the sky bridge experience perfect.
Me and the King. Side by side at last... Vince relaxing by our room at Uncle Chang's, waiting for the boat which promised to take us back to shore.
Marina pulled her first tooth by herself and is officially front toothless. We hollered and cheered for her while munching on a strange Malaysian Triple stack sand which at KFC (bread, chicken, lettus, hash brown, cheese bread)...as if we weren't drawing enough attention to ourselves just by being ourselves. Singaporean tooth fairies found her in her hotel and left her candy for the airplane ride. She was delighted
This is a notice routinely posted at all customs check areas. It is a sentiment I know many Americans wish our country would embrace. I know that if I were possessing drugs and saw this sign I would make a fast trip to the bathroom for some flushing action after reading this! They also took our temperature via thermal scanner as we came into the customs area...checking everyone for H1N1.
Dragon fruit: Looks so much more interesting than it tastes. The fruit itself looks like the sweet inside of a fresh poppy seed muffin; grey/tan with black seeds. The taste however is bland! Marina felt it reminded her of a kiwi. "Except without flavor"

Sometimes I wish they didn't know how to read yet...
