I am so blessed and lucky to have found such a great group of friends and to be do this amazing adventure! Today was fabulous, because of the quality time I got to spend with these individuals. We had no rain and some rare sunshine! Wave swells slowed our journey and some of our snorkeling energies,  but I think everyone was happy at days end! Psalms Tours was again super flexible and provided outstanding services!

Above (L to R ) Bosco, Me, Bob, Sarah, Delia, Terri, Ron, Lori, Holly and Sherrie, at the boat docks, before we set out, on our all day tour. Because our ride to the islands was so lengthy, I suggested we play one of my favorite games to pass the time. Everyone thinks of one thing interesting thing about themselves, that hopefully no one else on the boat knows. Since we didn't have paper and pen to write them down, we improvised with my phones note section, passing it around. Then, I randomly read them out loud, and we guess whose belongs to each. This group really dug deep and had some amazing shares!! I loved the insight we got into each others past. I won't forget these stories either, because once we revealed who did it, we got all the juicy details that went with the stories! We had tales of murder, kidnapping, tv & modeling careers, sporting greats and of course total mortification!

The first island we stopped at is Ditaytayan Sandbar, unfortunately it was nearing high tide when we arrived so alot of the sandbar was covering with water. But the water was crystal clear and the sand golden, a very pretty spot. The best snorkeling was on the windward side of the sandbar, so only a few of us snorkeled the reef here, the rest of us enjoyed a dip in the calmer side of the waters.

Next, we went a short distance to Malcapuya Island Resort, another beautiful spot and my favorite of the day.  We had time to relax, have a super tasty and filling lunch provided by Psalms, swing a little and chill and chat in the water together.

At 2;30 we left the beach and boarded the boat for our last stop of the day. This ride took about an hour and lunch and the sun seemed to lul some of our gang into gentle slumbers!

Our last spot was Atwayan Coral Garden which was a nice fairly shallow reef and wall section that traveled deeper hosting some nice coral knooks and crannies.

Singapore - Little India

Little India is a neighborhood in Singapore that I wanted to explore becase I love Indian food and their Temple's have such unique gods and Architecture, super colorful and detailed. Below is the Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple, Singapore's first temple dedicated to Veeramakaliammam or the Kali , a fierce incarnation of Shiva's wife and the "Destroyer of Evil" .

KOH CHANG, THAILAND

By Pat Patrick • July 26, 2026
We just relaxed on the Island of Koh Chang, Thailand. It's one of the largest Thai Islands in the Gulf of Thailand and it has a dense, steep jungle & National Park covering the interior of the Island, which extends off shore, to coral reefs. The coast line is dotted with beaches and villages. This was a tender port, so we decided to stay on the Island for 3 nights, to be able to experience the nightlife. Turns out, it is low season, so nightlife was pretty sleepy. However, we did find a new favorite night time activity! Any Guesses?!?
