...though a part of me certainly wishes I didn't know when I'll be back again! But, 2 weeks is much more than many people could ask, so when I head out tomorrow for my airplane Thanksgiving, I will be thanking my lucky stars for the short time I'm getting.
This time tomorrow I will be on my way, and it is still strange to think that it will be Saturday morning when I get there despite only 24 hours having actually passed in my time. After a few weeks of winter starting to set in, saying I am ready would be the understatement of the year!
Despite Bryan's "we don't need plans" proclamation, there is a bit more by way of planning for the time that I am going to be there, if for no reason other than to help fit the most stuff into the least amount of time. Don't get wrong, I'm all for throwing caution to the wind if the right opportunity presents itself, but having the bones in place should help to at least a degree.
We are starting in Phuket (fingers crossed the guys will have made it back from Malaysia!) for a little beach time after the crazy flights, a cooking class, some sea kayaking through the limestone karst islands and caves of Phang Nga bay and exploring historic Phuket Town. Then it's on to Koh Phi Phi for a few days of smaller and hopefully more laid back exploring. After KPP, it's back to the other side of the mainland to explore Railay Beach, argued to be one of the most beautiful and can't be missed beaches in all of Thailand. In the same area is Krabi Town, where I will get to celebrate my birthday before wandering back to the islands to check out Ko Lanta just a bit south of Krabi. We'll round it out with a few days in Bangkok, which I'm hoping will involve more exploring than hanging out at the hotel - keep your fingers crossed that the protests stay calm and don't get to crazy. But no need to worry Mom...I have all of the info for the US Embassy and will happily go hide there for a couple of days if they do :)
Wish me luck....25 hours of coach seats here I come!
