Overdue post: Celebrating our 1st year anniversary January 18, 2011

This is a long overdue post, but I have been wanting to write about my experience in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, with SY.

One word to describe the trip: HECTIC!

It was tiring, rushed and very manic! But one saving grace was our villa – it was really beautiful and private. I loved it and if anything, I would come back just to stay at this villa.

We also of course visited a lot of temples while in Yogyakarta – it was a whirlwind event and I have sworn to myself I will never do this again. It was just too tiring after a 7am flight (and leaving the house at 3.45am)!

The new year also saw TONS of people crowding into the town center (specifically Malioboro street), making it utterly impossible for us to go anywhere for dinner, much less have a quiet dinner.

SY and I have agreed that after this trip, we will not travel during the new year’s, and wait a little while before traveling. I also have written off any crazy temple visitations! I need the “lounge by the pool and having long massage sessions” type of vacations more! I was more tired when I came home when I really had wanted to relax!

All said and done – am very happy to have celebrated my 1 year wedding anniversary. Hard to believe 1 year flew by so quickly. Before we know it, it will be two years! God help us when the children arrive.
