Levines Take Asia

I missed my self imposed deadline of Sunday for a post. Blame it on these guys.

 

That's right, it's time for the Levine visit! Planned ten months ago, this trip was a long time coming and a lot of work went into it. Thanks to some business class seats made possible with some crafty credit card mileage deals, they arrived tested and well fed. I cannot envision this trip being possible without those seats. 

There is too much  to recap in a single post so I'll break it up. For this one I'll just include some pictures of our time together. We've done a lot and there is more to do yet!  Including a trip to Beijing this weekend where we send them off on their tour of the middle kingdom. 

Their trip so far has been a ton of sight seeing, searching for American style coffee, fiber bars, and taking selfies. It's been a blast having family stay with us and has been a pleasure during my hiatus from full time employment.

Bali volcano selfie. 

The selfie camera is bad at picking up colors, so here is the actual volcano so you can be more impressed. 

Bali rice-on-head temple.

Singapore fancy view drinks. 

Again, here is the real view:

Singapore Gardens By the Bay selfie. 

And more of the same.

All we have done since they arrived is eat and plan what to eat next. Par for the course with us, but I think they are getting eternally stuffed! 

Of course, we had to have chili crab. I think they liked it! 

So far the trip has been fantastic. The highlight for me is being able to spend more time with Fran and Arnie than I ever have before. I have learned a ton about them and the Levine family. Especially what they all have in common. Sleeping is one of them.

I look forward to the last week of them being here! It will be weird once they leave - I'll miss them and the company. More to come on our adventures later!
