July 10th Last snorkle trip




Another visit to Perinsian Island. See previous blog for location details. It was a bitter sweet trip. Sorry to say good bye to opportunites like this, and yet so glad to move on and return home.

Beautiful weather. Lot's of family connection. AND an attempt to decompress from the daily stress of Penang.



Really enjoyed the boat ride out to the island. Learning to 'let go' is almost as difficult as learning to 'accept'. Cirmumstances will come and go, but family is eternal. A good time (& place) for closure and reflection.

"The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death" - Thomas Paine

Thanks Kore for sharing all these pictures. It looks like you all have been on a long vacation! You've gone places and done things I will never do, but I have enjoyed reading and looking at your blog. See you soon! God bless your trip home.
