Reunion @ Phuket

This vacation trip to Phuket is special in a myriad ways, here’s to mention a few:

1. It’s a long overdue reunion with my only sibling. With our parents long gone she’s the only DNA person closest to me alive, aside from my kids. The last time I saw her was like 7 or 8 years ago. She lives in the US west coast with her family. Her kids and mine have been separated for the same length of time and this would be a great chance for them to do some catching up.

2. The place – Phuket, has long been a “must see” place for me and my wife and this would be the time to step out of our dreams and tour the place. My son and his fiancé also live and work here and reuniting with them in their turf has been one of our yearnings.

3. The break from a 6-day weekly work schedule is really rejuvenating. Engaging in my passions – snorkeling and scuba diving will keep the wrinkles down and yet increase the sun spots on my aging face… I don’t care.

I chose to post only a few compared to the 300+ photos that we took with 2 cameras. The photos will show why this vacation was a blast.

  10. This is the formula bro:
    family reunion + Mismo = endorphin enducing laughter.This game was created by some friends in Bangkok and they are on board this forum... ferdinandnormakieran. You should get your hands on this game.

    Thanks for creating mismo. the photos will tell you how much we enjoyed it. Joy already autographed the spin board. We were looking for you guys last Sunday in church for your autographs. The kids are bringing the mismo home to the US and I'm sure that some orders for the game will be coming soon.

  19. There's something in this particular photo that I just can't put down in black and white. I'm not sure if it's the ambiguous merging of the soft colours or the vintage Phuket street that takes my breath away. Superb picture!
