Phuket Aquarium
The Phuket Aquarium is located in the mid-western part of Phuket Thailand in Cape Panwa. It offers a variety of aquatic life from around Thailand and Phuket. Outside there are some mangrove trees and other vegetation as well as a sea turtle habitat. The aquarium boasts that it is educational, although I didn't find myself learning anything while I was there. It is however an inexpensive way to spend some time out of the sun and is a good value for the price. For a couple hundred baht you can easily spend an hour or 2 walking the interior and exterior of the aquarium viewing aquatic life in tanks.

Discovering Japan
When finding out I would be going to Japan I knew there were so many things we needed to explore. Japan is such a fascinating country I want to explore everything. With Nick being here for 2 years I already know he will be able to find lots for us to do. Before leaving, however, I had to do some research of my own. I wanted to find the best destinations for us to explore. Not only that, but Japan is very different from America, so I wanted to make sure I didn't make a fool of myself, or worse, show anyone any disrespect.

Daytona Beach
Daytona Beach, Florida, known throughout the world for its history in racing, has blossomed over the years to feature many more options, especially for the less auto-minded among us, such as myself. Located in Volusia County, it is a beautiful area and boasts diversity in its activities. First, I would like to gush about the oaks. Tall and majestic, these trees are in every yard, blocking the residents from the harsh rays of the southern sun. I find them to be truly beautiful though. Wonderfully green with thick trunks and branches, Spanish Moss hangs from them like beige clouds. I find the combination breathtaking.
