The search has begun!

After years of clicking through thousands of photos of sailboats on various websites, Shannon and I were finally able to step from the virtual world into reality. Last Friday, we rolled out of bed at 4:15, gathered Pete and some clothes, and took off to catch the 5:30 Ferry to Galveston. We had scheduled visits with two yacht brokers near Corpus […]

Sailing in Thailand Pt 2

We were more than happy to check out of our hotel and check onto our Beneteau 343 for 3 nights and 4 days of sailing in Phang Nga Bay. Since we had already completed our course plotting the previous day, we jumped on the boat and left the marina ASAP. And we were off….   We started our trip heading […]

Sailing in Thailand Pt 1

Just as I promised, I now get to tell you about our adventures in sailing! As part of my search for the perfect ending to our trip to Korea, I scoured the internet and found YachtPro, a sailing school in the cool (as in “interesting”, definitely not cool as in “weather”) location of Phuket, Thailand. The first 3 days were sailing ‘school’. This is […]

Phuket, Thailand

After saying our goodbyes to Korea, it took a whole day of traveling to get to Phuket, Thailand. I had the grand pleasure of learning to drive on the wrong side of the car/road, on a dark and rainy Wednesday night. (Sorry, but we don’t have any footage of this.) For the first 4 nights, we stayed at the Andaman Seaside Resort which […]

The Mountain Fortress City of Namhansanseong

Shannon and I had a free day as the rest of the family was rather tired of walking everywhere and Heather *gasp* had to work. We decided to take advantage and explore something not on our normal list. We had discovered the fortress during our research of things to do while in Korea two years ago, but we never made it. […]

More 360° Videos!

These 360° videos seem to lend themselves to shorter, more focused videos so I made 3 of them. All three are from the same area of Seoul that our last longer video was filmed. Jogyesa Temple: Insadong: Tapgol Park:

Seoul Exploration

Part 1 of our Korea & Thailand series of videos is complete. This episode features our first few days exploring Seoul with the family. Read what Shannon had to say about it. There are at least 4 more episodes planned as well as lots of 360° videos to come.

Gangnam 360° Style

Lots of what we did in Korea involved just wandering around and seeing where things would take us. Our afternoon wandering around Gangnam was a perfect example of that. Our mission of the morning was to go to the Samsung Building and buy this 360° camera (cant seem to get them in the US yet, and it was a LOT […]

Prologue

I have been slowly organizing the many hours of footage we captured over our 3 week adventure to Korea and Thailand. I think we have enough footage to put out 5-6 decent length videos, and probably about 6-8 shorter 360 videos. I hope to create a video a week, but I cant promise anything at this point. So, with that […]
