Island Revisited

This past weekend, we were able to cash in on a mental health day at work and head back to one of our new favorite places in Vietnam -- possibly the world -- the island of Phu Quoc.  Yes, for $70 per person we hopped a plane and one hour later, landed in our own little slice of paradise.  We wish we had lavish stories to share and funny anecdotes to make our family and friends laugh.  Rather, we had a very quite, relaxing, refreshing weekend loaded with sun-filled days, good books, cheap beers, fresh seafood dinners, intriguing conversations, and most importantly -- the knowledge that our winter break (and time away from the constant work upheaval) is only another 9 days away!!
Sun ... check!  Book ... check!  Beer ... check!
One of the magnificent sunsets on the island.

One scallop, one squid, one prawn, one red snapper, plate of eggplant and okra and potato all grilled on the beach for only $7 USD for two people.  Yes, please.

This little nugget almost got smuggled home in Heidi's bag.  Adam even named her Mable.
