Modere Escape - PV

We were treated and spoiled to go on another Modere Escape and this time we went to Puerto Vallarta. Cody was probably filming social marketers about 80% of the time but I still got to relax by the pool and enjoy being free of chaos... I mean kids. The resort was all-inclusive and ridiculously nice - the nicest place I've ever been.

The view from my hammock.

Welcome reception

Modere Gives Back - One of the coolest things we did while there was the whole group went to a local small village and we cleaned up the school. We cleared jungle for a play area and painted the school. Modere also donated school supplies to the kids. It was awesome and felt great to serve.

Cody did get a few breaks and was able to come swim with me. 

The social marketer's last night there was a formal night called white night. 

We were able to enjoy a day to ourselves when the social marketers went home. 

We love getting spoiled by Modere. 

Samoa - Turtles, Crater, and Apia

We went to a place where we could swim with some turtles. Cody was the only one brave enough to get in. I hate things touching me in the water. Freaks me out. Cody literally got swarmed by the turtles and freaked out. It was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. 

And that's a baby turtle. Heavy suckers. 

 When we headed on the ferry back to Apia the weather really started to change. It rained a lot but the scenery was still beautiful.

 The view from our bungalo at another resort we stayed at on Upolo. This is where I had an encounter with a black lizard under my pillow in the middle of the night. I flipped out!! Thankfully Cody was able to get it out of our  room. This resort was so pretty. Our bathroom and shower was outside. I also got to enjoy a beach front massage. So relaxing. 

The next morning we went to a crater by the ocean. The water was so warm. I was just so excited the sun started to come out. 

 Vavau beach. It was one of the prettiest beaches I've ever seen. It probably is. Cody decided to climb a coconut treat.

Our last stop was at the Samoa temple and out for dinner. We were sad our trip was already over. Thankfully it would only be 6 more months until my parents returned home. 

 We will never forget this trip. It was amazing. Thank you Mom & Dad B!

And now what you've been waiting for. The video.

Samoa - Blow Holes and Le Lagoto

 At the blow holes you can pay a local to throw a coconut into the blow hole and it launches it into the air. So fun to watch. The power of the water was crazy. 

 He's insane. He could have been taken out to sea.

 After the blow holes on the way to Le Lagoto we stopped at a village where they made a canopy walk. Their disclaimer sign was pretty funny. I was a little scared going on it.

 Next was Le Lagoto. It's a small resort (1 of 2 resorts on the island) with 8 bungalows right on the beach. It was beautiful! One of the most beautiful most relaxing places. We were 1 3 parties there. It was so quiet and nice. Samoa beats Hawaii any day.
