This is Part 2 of our trip to Tanzania in 2018. Part 1 was all about our African safari—truly one of the best experiences of our lives (here’s our post). But we weren’t done with our adventures yet, and this post is all about scuba diving in the Indian Ocean! …

On most of our diving trips I usually end up creating a video of the whole trip. In this case, we stopped off in Hawaii first in order to break up the long flights and travel time that it takes to get to Palau from Los Angeles. Our 2-week vacation …

It took us a long time to get to Koror, Palau, but we are so glad we made the trip! We (and our eight dive buddies) traveled 7,174 miles across 17 time zones, flying from LAX to Honolulu (with our little tangential trip to Kauai—see previous post), where our flight …
