Hurry up and Wait!

Getting up early this morning was a significant chanllenge and the alarm was snoozed a couple times before we pulled ourselves from bed.  Our driver was scheduled for 8:00 and living care free, and without hard deadlines to meet it felt like a bit ... Read more >

We woke up fairly late this morning after Christmas festivities. Neither of us felt like doing much but we wanted to secure our plans for Friday. We puttered around the hotel room until about 11:30, then we wander around town to find out prices for the ... Read more >

It was time to get off mainland and head to an island where Koh Phi Phi was the first stop. Throughout Ao Nang we'd heard mixed opinions about Phi Phi as a place to spend your time, but in Thailand (and in life, I suppose) its better to find out for ... Read more >

Home for Christmas...even if only through Technology!

Merry Christmas!!!  It's an unusual feeling waking up in a foreign country on a holiday morning, especially when it is 12 hours ahead of our normal time.  It was only Christmas Eve back home, so calling to give season's greetings would have ... Read more >

Chiang Mai is a large city with a lot of attractions for both tourist and locals. There is far too much to do in one day, but if you plan it right, you can hit a bunch of sites in small areas of the city. We got up today with our goal to go to the west ... Read more >

How I Almost Got Deported

Wed, 25 Dec 2013 | By jericafromamerica | Views [516]

     We thought we were in the clear. We acted fast in the Kathamandu airport and paid for a flight to make our connection from Dhaka to Burma. We were then advised not to leave the airport, spent 22 hours in a box of malaria-waiting-... Read more >

We had no delusion that the tiki hut would be sound proof, but we could never have predicted the cacophony of sounds we would here throughout the night.  Curiously, some guy asked us the day before if we were able to sleep the night in a hut, and ... Read more >

Adventure is Out There... Look Up!

It was so nice to sleep in a good large bed with extremely comfortable blankets that actually had some weight to them. We got up at a normal time, made our way down to the common breakfast area and enjoyed some sweet, very small, bananas, toast and coffee.... Read more >

Sun, 22 Dec 2013 | By mitann | Views [743]

We woke up not feeling well rested after a long night of noise. The internet was very frustrating and after about an hour and a half trying to get the blog up we decided it would have to wait until we left the island. We lounged around a bit more before ... Read more >
