With today now free I ended up cancelling my Disneyland Paris ticket originally booked for Saturday, figuring a weekday would be less crowded. The Disneyland Paris website clearly says that tickets have to be printed and I don’t exactly have access to a printer here so I considered just buying one on-site today, as their...

My alarm went off way earlier than I would have liked this morning based on how crappy I slept last night but I had to heed the call because I had an 8:25am train to Reims booked to go taste some champagne in the Champagne Region! Yes, I had planned a vacation from my vacation... Continue Reading →
I miss air conditioning. Like I really really miss air conditioning. Like i miss it as much as I miss my family (Brandon and our assorted four-legged fur children) who are back at home. I woke up drenched in sweat in the middle of the night. The days here have been about 85 with not... Continue Reading →

We originally had planned to come in on a later flight so we were lucky that Hertz actually got our message that we would be there over four hours earlier than planned and we only had to...

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 →
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. Before falling asleep last night I remembered to check us in for today’s flight from Bangkok to Krabi. The AirAsia website is not very sophisticated and I had to refresh the online...

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 →
