Finally completed blogging all about my 2-month trip and it's time for a quick post-trip quarterly update.

July 23 (Sat): Another family birthday meet up, more pool time!

June 11 (Sat): Top Gun movie at Dennis and Lisa's awesome movie room. Dennis was in the Navy and used to work at Top Gun so it was cool to hear some of his stories. =)

Time for annual and bi-annual 'maintenance'. Traveled to Birmingham for my annual health exam, and went to the dentist for my bi-annual cleaning and check-up. Had to get a filling and a crown...whoopsie. =P

After returning from our Bora Bora trip, I got the updated booster for Covid 19 on Sept 9 and multiple vaccinations in preparation for my upcoming trip. Hubby also had a minor surgery on Sept 20.

This is totally random but my Maldives vlog hit 30K views after one year...still don't make any money though...haha!

Received a new luggage from United to replace my damaged luggage. I now have a full 'collection' of free luggages from airports / airlines. =P

Got this new sunglasses for free with my eye insurance. =)
