Saying our goodbyes

THAILAND | Monday, 1 Jun 2009 | Views [428] | Comments [1]

Is it our last day already?  Unfortunately it is.  The last few days on Bo Phut have been quite lovely.  Actually, they've been really really hot and sunny.  We've enjoyed hanging out on the beach and swimming in our guesthouse pool (it's a bit too shallow ... Read more >

My Sunglasses Are Collecting Dust

THAILAND | Wednesday, 27 May 2009 | Views [467]

Koh Samui

THAILAND | Tuesday, 26 May 2009 | Views [410]

We almost stayed on Koh Phangan, but at the last minute, we decided to catch a ferry over to Koh Samui and see more Thailand islands. We arrived a couple of hours ago and took a taxi out to Lamai Beach, Koh Samui's second largest island.  We really wanted ... Read more >


Beachtown

THAILAND | Sunday, 24 May 2009 | Views [371]

   Hello all. I hope all is well. Meg and I arrived to the island of Ko Pha-Ngan, Thailand, a couple of days ago. It took much longer to get here than we expected, mostly because our first bus from Chiang Mai to Bangkok was late, causing us to miss our ... Read more >


Finally! Thailand Beaches! (well, almost)

THAILAND | Thursday, 21 May 2009 | Views [424] | Comments [2]

We are now in Bangkok after riding a night bus from Chiang Mai last night.  We were supposed to arrive in Bangkok at 5:30 this morning and then catch another bus heading down the southern gulf coast, and then catch a ferry out to Ko Pha Ngan island.  ... Read more >

     It is about 3 pm on Monday in Chiang Mai, and about midnight going into Monday back home. Last night we walked through Chiang Mai's notorious Sunday Market. This is a night market that happens every Sunday and it is a big deal for both tourists ... Read more >


Over the mountains to Chiang Mai

THAILAND | Sunday, 17 May 2009 | Views [457] | Comments [1]

We are now in Chiang Mai, Thailand and have been for a few days.  Let me fill you in on our time in Luang Prabang, Laos... Luang Prabang is a very charming French colonial town nestled between mountains and two rivers.  It sits on a peninsula where ... Read more >

The Cam

CAMBODIA | Sunday, 10 May 2009 | Views [774] | Comments [3]

Friends, Family -    We are in our last night in Cambodia. Well, we hope it's our last night but it all depends on whether we can buy plane tickets in person tomorrow for a flight to Laos. But Cambodia, oh Cambodia. I have been very pleased with this ... Read more >


Don't worry Mom, we're alive.

CAMBODIA | Wednesday, 6 May 2009 | Views [495] | Comments [5]

11 hour flight to Tokyo, 4 hour layover, 6 hour flight to Bangkok, 8 hour layover (night spent in airport), 1 hour flight to Siem Reap, Cambodia.  That's 30 hour of traveling and doesn't include more than 3 hours of sleep at a time. So... we're a little ... Read more >


Packing. Worrying. Errands. Stress. Oh wait, we get to go to Thailand!

USA | Sunday, 3 May 2009 | Views [426] | Comments [2]

We leave tomorrow morning and both of us are still frantically packing all of the necessities (and I'm sure some extras that will soon feel like deadweight).  So much planning has gone into this trip, and I'm very excited that it's all coming to fruition.... Read more >
