Makin cocktail plans with Wollert

THAILAND | Friday, 5 Dec 2008 | Views [305] | Comments [2]

Anyone who knows Wollert knows that he would insist that I have a post all about him.  He has traveled independently (isn't this fabulous term versus "alone", solo, by myself,)and encouraged me to do the same. Not sure if he ever encountered ... Read more >


BOB and I reunited...

THAILAND | Friday, 5 Dec 2008 | Views [294]

Back in Bangkok...but that overnight bus ride. UGH! Totally nicer than the trains though. So as I grab some rays (like I need to be more tan) on the ferry from Phi Phi to Krabi on an over filled boat I may add...I get the very rural bus station and ... Read more >

Love the "MAGIC" button

THAILAND | Monday, 1 Dec 2008 | Views [391] | Comments [1]

Seems so long that I don't where to start while I sit in yet another bus terminal waiting to take a 10 hour overnight bus ride to Krabi...Yes this sucks- the closed airports are putting a few kinks in my travels.  Seems I can't escape buses. But I must ... Read more >
