Asia Vacation Instagram Roundup

Yesterday we returned from a two week vacation exploring Australia, Bali (Indonesia), Singapore, and the Philippines with my husband's family.  I had previously never been to this side of the world, so it was thrilling to finally see parts of Asia, simply put.  We were supposed to return Sunday morning, but unfortunately we were grounded in the Philippines by typhoon Sarika, which postponed our travel back to the U.S. for a couple of days.  I suppose you could say we had a couple of extra days in paradise (albeit with rain and the stress of re-booking flights ;) )!  Though I still have my California honeymoon to finish recapping, here's an Instagram roundup of our vacation.

Twelve Apostles off the Great Ocean Road in Australia.

Our resort, Warwick Ibah, in Ubud, Bali.

The Campuhan Ridge Walk next to our resort in Ubud, Bali.

A rice terrace in Bali.

Enjoying a Singapore Sling at Raffles, where it was invented in Singapore.

The Helix bridge in Singapore, which mimics the double helix of our DNA.

Gardens by the Bay, Singapore.

Legato Island Resort, Philippines.

Lovely water view with Snake Island (the sand bar) to the left, Philippines.


On Entalula Island for lunch.  This is my favorite shot.

Some cloud remnants from Typhoon Sarika, Philippines.

Welcome to "Corking Around"

When I started my blog I’d originally intended to primarily write about winery tours, cooking adventures, and travelling. I created it for myself in order to have an artistic outlet outside of my technical full time job. I told myself to avoid falling into several “newbie” blogging traps of A) creating content for content’s sake and B) promoting it in hopes of somehow magically attracting sponsors. In short, I didn’t want to compromise my blogging goals by word vomiting (to borrow a phrase from Mean Girls) all over the place. However, anyone who’s ever tried to maintain a blog knows how time consuming it is to create content for each new post, whether it’s just for yourself and a few friends or for hundreds of loyal readers. Whatever you choose to blog about, it takes time, and often money, to visit places, document a recipe, and/or keep up with the fashion and beauty products. This, combined with the addition of a part-time job, quite a bit of traveling for my full time job,...

Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge

Another fantastic Northern Ireland site is the rope bridge at Carrick-a-Rede .  Located near Ballintoy in County Antrim, this bridge was first erected by fishermen about 350 years ago.  It spans over a 23-meter deep and 20-meter wide chasm and was traditionally used by the fishermen so that they could check their salmon nets.  Today fishermen no longer work in the area due to a diminished availability of salmon.  In the 1960's fishermen caught approximately 300 salmon per day, but by 2002 only 300 salmon were caught in a single season. The original rope bridge consisted of a single rope hand rail that was replaced with a two hand railed bridge by the National Trust .  So suffice it to say it's much safer now than I'm sure it was 350+ years ago!  For those afraid of heights, crossing is definitely a thrill since the rope bridge undulates as everyone walks across it.  However, the staff has safety in mind as only a maximum amount of individual...
