Ho Chi Minh City

Luckily, Singapore eased us back into city life, because we were thrown into SE Asia city-living head first in Ho Chi Minh City.

The city is growing quickly and is literally buzzing as a result of the millions (yes, millions) of motorbikes on the road.

Singapore

Fully rested and sick of ice cream (nah, who are we kidding?!), we eased into the Asian leg of our trip with three days in Singapore - city shots are back!

Maldives

You'll likely notice that we are officially way out of order now. To prevent ourselves from falling further behind, we decided to skip ahead to the (almost) present in an attempt to update more frequently. But don't worry, we'll be sure to fill-in the rest of the European cities at some point. As the chronology gets more and more jumbled going forward, if you're looking at the desktop version of the site, you should be able to click on a European city on the map and it should take you to that post. So stay tuned for posts on Oktoberfest, Alexis's drunkest night to date (you'll be surprised where it happens!) and the dramatic conclusion to Mike's European root canal saga.

Which brings us to the Maldives! We called this week of our trip our official "honeymoon," in part to justify how expensive and out of the way it is, but it ended up being worth every penny.

Riga, Latvia

After having a great time in Tallinn, we were eager to move onto our second Baltic country, Latvia. The excitement was based not only on seeing a new city, but also on our second guest appearance: Sadia!
