January 25, 2015Already Saturday and time to go home. It's amazing how fast time flies when you're having fun. To make the most out of the last few hours in Aruba, I woke up early this morning. I walked along the beach and went to grab one last geocache hidden by a…- January 25, 2015I can hardly believe it's already Friday. The week has gone by so fast. After breakfast I parked my butt by the pool and continued to read my book. At 1:00 we headed to the Jolly Pirate ship. The excursion consisted of going to two different spots for snorkeling and…
- January 23, 2015Today was our excursion to the other side of the island in two-seater all terrain vehicles! We were picked up at 8:30 and drove to Philip's Animal Garden where the excursion began. The tour started with walking through the zoo. We learned that they were an animal rescue and all…
- January 23, 2015Wednesday's adventure started with a search for mountain bikes. Laurie called the place we had walked to the day before, but they said they didn't have any available to rent. We walked to a sales stand at the hotel next door that we had seen the day before when out…
- January 21, 2015Tuesday was another day without any scheduled activities. We started the morning late after having slept in. I wish I could say these beds were as great as ours at home, but unfortunately it's not even close. After breakfast I walked with Pete and Laurie to find out information on…
- January 20, 2015Monday in Aruba and we had no big plans. We slept in after the disappointing Packer game and I did not even think about going for a walk or run. My legs weren't too sore, but I thought I would give them a break. My goal for the day was…
- January 20, 2015ARUBA!!! Our vacation 2015 has finally arrived. After booking this in February 2014 and a long winter last year and an already super cold start to 2015, we are so happy to finally be in Aruba. Flying directly out of Chicago proved to be a good choice with no worries…
October 21, 2013Uganda is amazing!! But before I get to that, I should probably back up and start with how I got there. This deployment allows for an opportunity to take a 96 if you are deployed for more than 179 days. A 96 is a 96 hour pass to do whatever…
September 23, 2013A couple of weeks ago I went on a Saturday night adventure to the Djibouti Karting Club to experience Djiboutian Go-Karting. We had about 15 people with us and after figuring out the best deal, we had our tickets and were ready to ride. The first five were on the…- September 5, 2013It has been awhile since I last made a blog update, and I wish I could say it was because I was too busy having fun to write about it. Unfortunately the truth is that for several weeks there just wasn't much going on. At the end of July and…
July 14, 2013This weekend's adventure took me to the Djibouti Palace Kempinski Hotel (http://www.kempinski.com/en/djibouti/djibouti-palace/welcome/). The trip was arranged through the Morale, Welfare Recreation (MWR) and consisted of an overnight stay inthe hotel.The hotel is rated five stars and is just beautiful. It was nice to have a much larger bathroom then the…- July 8, 2013The first week of July went by extremely fast and was extremely busy with many activities planned during my off hours. On Tuesday, July 2nd, we went on a MWR trip souvenir shopping downtown. I'm having fun buying little trinkets and souvenirs as I go and using them to decorate…
