VacationS and Christmas

These last 3 weeks have been a whirlwind of activities.

I went to Hawaii first with Dave and we had an amazing time. We were on the island of Kauai and we stayed in a resort the entire time. This allowed us to just drive around in our rental car to different areas of the island. On the first day, we went to Costco and got food (cause we are cheap like that). Then we just explored the area around our hotel. On the second day, we ended up exploring the East Shore. We went on a hike, hung out at the beach, and retired early for an early start the next day. In the subsequent week, we explored the island by boat (catamaran into the ocean), my river kayak, and by foot (lots of hiking). It was amazing and Dave as always made the trip super fun.

I didn’t really want to leave Hawaii but I had a two hour layover in SLC before meeting up with Varsha. We spent one week all over Morocco starting out in Fes, then Chefchauouen, Merazouga, and finally Marrakech. I had lots of fun exploring the Medinas, eating authentic Morroccan food (which lead to a purchase of some Tagines), and going camel riding in the desert.'

Then, coming back has been a whirlwind of parties. Dave’s family had a lot of parties…a lot of gift exchanges and game nights. My family had hot pot. It isn’t even over yet. We have parties scheduled till Monday and then New Years will be here but Dave and I agreed to go out on our own New Years Eve so I am excited. But hence the sort post. Till next week folks!
