One of the things we are most excited to experienc One of the things we are most excited to experience in Vietnam is the FOOD! Our goal is to try as many local dishes as possible, plus other tasty restaurants, and our time in Ho Chi Minh City was a delicious start! 

⬇️ Here are some of our favorite spots we checked out, both Vietnamese and other cuisines ⬇️

🍜 Southern style Pho from Phở Hòa Pasteur

☕️ Vietnamese iced coffee (Cà Phê Sữa đá) from Cheo Leo Cafe, the oldest cafe in HCMC!

🍲 Bún thịt nướng from Nguyễn Trung Trực, a delicious street food spot. This was one of our favorite things we have eaten so far!

🥖 Bánh Mì from Bánh Mì Hồng Hoa

🧀 Sandwiches from @kashewcheese, which is cashew based cheese and SO good! Perfect for a picnic at Vinhomes Central Park!

🌮 Tacos from our friend's favorite spot @bandidosaigon. Yes, we had to find tacos while in Vietnam and these were solid!

🥥 Coconut coffee from @congcaphe

🐖 BBQ at @quanutut (yes we had to try BBQ too!)...make sure to get the pork belly!

Here's some of what we got up to during our time in Saigon, but to see even more and learn some of the area's history, check out today's video!

🇻🇳 Rode a water taxi from District 2 to District 1, which is a great way to see the city and a cheap way to get between the two!
🇻🇳 Ate LOTS of food! More on what all we tried and loved in tomorrow's post!
🇻🇳 Explored District 1, including the beautiful Tao Dan Park, Post Office, Book Street, People's Committee Building, and Opera House.

🇻🇳 Saw the city from above at the Saigon Skydeck
🇻🇳 Walked around Nguyễn Huệ Street at night, which is hoppin!

We are heading to ASIA for the FIRST TIME EVER! 🙌🏼🥳

Visiting Southeast Asia has been high on our travel bucket list for years and for the next 6 weeks we will be primarily exploring Vietnam (with two other quick stops) and cannot wait!

But first, we had a long travel journey to get there, including a 17 hour nonstop flight from Seattle to Singapore, plus an overnight layover in the Singapore Changi Airport, which is said to be the BEST in the world! While we have yet to visit every airport in the world, we don't think any other one can top this one. 

With gardens, a waterfall, slides, tons of shops and restaurants, fun activities, and so much more, the Changi Airport is one that you actually WANT to be stuck at for hours.

And in today's video we bring you along as we conquer our longest flight ever, explore the Changi Airport, stay in a very small hotel, and make it to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam!
The Florida Keys are a coral reef archipelago off The Florida Keys are a coral reef archipelago off the southern coast of Florida, stretching over 180 miles, and are home to the only living coral reef formations found in the continental United States, which took 5,000 years to form. 

And one of the best days of boat life in the Keys, as well as one of the best days of our entire travels, was getting to snorkel at a reef!

Not only was the water insanely blue and crystal clear, with reefs full of colorful fish, but we got to swim with TWO sea turtles for at least 5 minutes. It was absolutely magical! 😍🐢

A huge thank you to @schoandjo for cruising us out into the Atlantic Ocean to have this unforgettable experience and a big shoutout to Mother Nature for giving us perfect conditions to cruise, snorkel, and swim!
4 people + 1 dog + 1 boat = an epic week of boat l 4 people + 1 dog + 1 boat = an epic week of boat life in the Florida Keys! 🛥️☀️🌴🌊

From gorgeous anchorages, falling off paddle boards, swimming with turtles, getting poured on in a dinghy, running low on toilet paper, delicious homecooked meals, fun game nights, cruises full of dancing, and surviving the southern Florida heat with limited showers and AC, we had an absolute blast living aboard @schoandjo’s boat!

Here’s just a glimpse of our time together, but to see it all, check out our latest YouTube video! It’s one of our favorite videos we have made! 🙌🏼
