We’re still on our Annapurna trek in Nepal, which is a little too off the beaten track to access the internet. While we’re busy trekking and are off-line, we’ve put together some of our past favorite posts/locations to keep you busy. Enjoy! Malaysia: We’ve been in and out of Malaysia three times on this trip [...]
These were served to us with dinner on our flight from Delhi to Leh. I figured they were small breath mints but, to my surprise, something all together different fell out of the packet. Check out the contents by

Is it a watch? Yes. Is it a calculator? Yes. Is it super a super sweet blast-from-the-past gadget I bought today for $5? Absolutely. That’s enough for this post. I have some numbers to crunch…
You know the saying, “to fly by the seat of your pants?” Well, that's been our philosophy for most of our adult lives – before and after meeting, falling in love and marrying.
