Homeward Bound

It seems like just yesterday we were on our flight to Singapore together for the big move and that our home leave trip in July was so far away. Apparently time flies and the next thing you know we were ordering a GoPro and necessities from Amazon.com to bring back from the U.S. (See this post and this one about shopping and prices in Singapore.) 

A trip back to the states brought us back to a familiar world. We were able to visit all the places we call home for business and/or to visit family and friends. It felt good and a little odd to be in our home in Phoenix which is really no longer our everyday house, but yet a familiar spot to lay our heads. We used our time wisely by stocking up on items for one of our next adventures in Mt. Fuji, made sure to get haircuts, eat Mexican food, drink Napa Valley wine and spend lots of time with friends.

Since friends and family being the most important part of our trip, we headed to Las Vegas to celebrate Papa B’s 60th birthday. I had family coming in from Ohio, Florida and California and of course Mama and Papa S were there.

Since we had out of town guests we spent a few days playing tourist in Vegas. Nothing like a visit to the Neon Museum, Peppermill and the Mob Museum to showcase ‘Old Vegas.” If you haven’t been to any of these places, I highly suggest you add them to your itinerary for your next Vegas visit.

Neon Museum



There were multiple dinners with the biggest party happening on Saturday night at Aureole in Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino. We had an amazing meal with 25 people who have and continue to have an impact on Papa B’s life.

 
We couldn't have asked for a better trip (maybe with a little more sleep.) Regardless we were very blessed to be in the country to celebrate birthdays, engagements, new homes and more. See you all in December when it’s nice and cold in the states (although it’ll still be hot and humid in Singapore!)

Happy Trails,
Amy & Raegen
