We were in no huge rush to get up this morning. Exhaustion levels are at an all-time high and we really didn’t have much planned for Taipei. Our only priorities were to visit a bird fortune-teller, have a traditional tea, and find a tattoo parlor 😉 I opened the blinds of our darkened room as... Continue Reading →
At this point in our trip, we are both exhausted. The tranquility of Keemala was perfect for a relaxing morning before we competed the Thailand portion of our trip. Or so we thought. At 5:01am we were sharply yanked out of our slumber by a call to prayer from the local mosque. It must be coming... Continue Reading →
I was so excited for our bottle of Chandon Rose last night and for what a bargain it was at 899 baht ($30 USD); that’s almost the same price as buying it from the winery. We chilled the bottle in a bag of ice as we showered and got ready to tuck in and relax... Continue Reading →
The Phu Petra villas may come with an adorable floral welcome on the bed; but the bed sucks. Hard as a rock. Hardest bed either of us have ever slept on. After a crappy night of sleep for both of us we got ourselves together for the day and grabbed a disgusting breakfast from the... Continue Reading →
To err is human. To catch your error late at night before it completely screws you over the next day, now that’s luck.

This morning was the first time I’ve felt any sort of chill since we left California. The sound of the rushing River Kwai was soothing as we slept and the serene water and jungle view greeted us when we opened our eyes. We brewed some tea in our room and sat on the deck to... Continue Reading →
Our little Bangkok home did not provide us a ton of rest last night. Just as we were getting ready for bed we heard a lot of commotion in the alley including people yelling, a truck, thuds. Peeking out the window Brandon thought it looked like a tow truck or something. Oh crap! With our... Continue Reading →
Our cottage would not cool down last night. The air remained warm and stifling. I fell asleep hard and quick but around 3am found myself wide awake. Between the stuffiness of the hot cottage, the wind shaking the windows, and the angry crashing of the waves beneath us, there was no chance of falling back... Continue Reading →
We were both wide awake by 6am today. We were actually both awake by about 5:15 but it wasn’t until then that we acknowledged that no more sleep was to be had. We opened the windows in the loft bedroom of our cottage and found ourselves in awe of the absolute silence of the world around us.... Continue Reading →
I am beat, exhausted, tired, spent, and ready for some real rest. I slept like a rock last night, I took a sleepy pill my doctor gave me for travel and in 5 minutes flat I was out cold. So much so that I fell asleep in the middle of trying to post yesterday’s blog... Continue Reading →
