Not really but I feel as if I've been focusing on the Youtube channel so much and not doing "the work" over here. I'm working on it but wouldn't mind a little input from you, our reader. Well that's if you are reading what I'm putting out! What do you want to read about regarding travel, life in Da Nang and heck our personal business..lol In the meantime I wanted to talk about things I'm doing to stay busy during this Covid-19 Quarantine in Da Nang, Vietnam. I'm a night owl w

And I'm a lil bit mad about it. Mainly because we were living a life, a good one meaning things were "normal". No masks, no real mentions of Covid-19, at least not daily, acting like tourists, checking out restaurants. In essence living, walking and moving similar to how we did in 2019. A year that will now go down as one of the good ones after the failure that is 2020. And I have to admit now before I go down the negative rabbit hole that I've enjoyed the forced solitude and

Quite a skip from Days 17-18 but honestly outside of describing my living room to you and counting the steps from the couch to the bathroom, there isn't much to talk about. We are settling into a routine of sorts, mixed in with bouts of naps. Really good naps. Like naps to write home about but...in the end who wants to read about naps. Speaking of sleeping we had set our alarms to wake up at 5am to catch the IG Battle between Teddy Riley and Babyface on Sunday (our Monday) an

It's been two gloriously quiet and peaceful days here in Hanoi. Although there is some rumblings on the interwebs that we will be going into a full blown quarantine due to the hospital releasing 5000 folks, in the early days of March, who may have possibly come in contact with infected medical personnel. Yea. We are prepared either way, groceries are stocked up though the snack supply mysteriously stays low. I'm not pointing fingers, especially the ones that are still slightl

Two days and we are officially on limited shut down status in Vietnam. All non-essential shops are closed and that includes restaurants, cafes, bars, massage parlors, karaoke clubs, cinemas. Also places of worship can not organize events with large numbers of people, and there is a limit on public gatherings. Essentially work and home only for everyone who can. We did our last deep dive grocery shopping on Friday and today, Saturday, was the first official day of no can do.

We have been in Hanoi, Vietnam since March 13th and to say it's been interesting is an understatement. So interesting that we did an entire video about our initial few days along with why we decided to move here and as such I'm not going to go into to much detail about the first few days. We are now on day 13, almost two whole weeks and it's been a weird hybrid of not stressing to totally stressing in a matter of hours daily. In part because of the pressure being put on us by

Let me start out by saying I feel your pain AND more importantly I feel your kids' pain. It's a crappy situation to be in and one I can certainly empathize with if from a different angle as we chose to homeschool vs being forced to by the Coronavirus. I would like to preface this by saying that I've taught classes of some sort most of my adult life and feel that I'm good at it, but to put it mildly this experience has been humbling. When we started this journey in June, we ho
