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 →
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 B thought it looked like a tow truck or something. Oh crap! With our... Continue Reading →
One thing we take for granted is water. Clean, fresh, available, drinking water. Getting water on this island is a bit of a challenge. Thera are no plastic/disposable bottles allowed here. Instead, in the rooms they put two 24ish ounce carafes of water. I am so glad we read about this before we came because... 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 →
This morning we awoke to the pungent aroma of exhaust as we slept with the windows open to make sure the natural gas didn’t kill us in our sleep. And in fact, the gas didn't kill us in our sleep so that was a plus. I can't say we were super sad to pack up.... Continue Reading →
We both felt sick and gross last night and we took our time getting up this morning. It is our last full day in Cuba and we had things we wanted to do but nothing structurally planned to hold us to any time frame. We took our time getting ready and packed my little backpack... Continue Reading →
I failed to mention in my blog last night that when we returned to our apartment the front gate to the building was locked and we had to use our key to get in. As soon as we closed the gate behind us, two men, who we had just walked past sitting on the stoop... Continue Reading →
Yesterday afternoon was so relaxing; I think I was delirious by the time we went to bed last night. We laid around watching the Grapes of Wrath on TV with Spanish subtitles and playing around with our translation app, realizing it can actually speak the translations. My eyes teared as I laughed over the idea... Continue Reading →
