Half-way around the world and back!






Recently Joel and I had an oppurtunity to go on a trip of a lifetime. We wen't to the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. It took us 20 hours of flying to get there! His company that he works for has a internation convention every three years and we were invited to go this time. On our way there we had an chance to see London. That was fun! We spent five days on the island enjoying the oceanview, the clear salt water, and the fun grownup time with people around the world.
The amazing thing is what a small world we truely live in. My first photo is of a man who grew up in Poland and the only time he ever left was to attend the University of Kansas in 1971-72! Now, what are the odds of flying halfway around the world and be seated next to him at dinner in Mauritius! He was as floored when I told him that that was were Joel attented college so the rest of the night was filled with " I don't belive it!"

Enjoy the pics!

The name of the resort was Paradis (without an e) and I see why they would call it that, but it is nice to know our true paradise is in heaven.

Love to you all, Jenn
