The archaeological complex of Angkor Wat is actually much larger than you would anticipate, and would take at least 2 days to explore the internal loops and a 3rd day to explore the temples that are several miles outside of the city.  One of my favorite places I’ve been.</p>http://livingthedreamrtw.tumblr.com/post/16488258756http://livingthedreamrtw.tumblr.com/post/16488258756Wed, 25 Jan 2012

fantastic. </p>http://livingthedreamrtw.tumblr.com/post/16371468041http://livingthedreamrtw.tumblr.com/post/16371468041Mon, 23 Jan 2012 17:56:55 -0500MacaoMacauChinaAsiaCasinoGrand

as you are all well aware by now.  I got my certification in 2009 in Florida during a college spring break trip.  One of the stops we went to was Devil’s Den which is a water filled cave that is incredibly beautiful above the water, and pretty desolate below.  All-in-all, a lot of fun!  Do you want to go
