It has been about 9 months since we got back from Colombia. And so here we are again on the travelers trail but this time we are on the other side of the world. The side where everyone is about a foot shorter than me and I don't even have to try to learn their language as they would rather they get to practice their English! I love Asia! Ever since we got back from Bali 6 years ago I planned to return. So finally, with only a few months until we welcome our first baby, we decided to take one last backpacking trip sans child. We have 29 days to see the sights of Thailand and Bali.
We just arrived in Bangkok a few hours ago and its 2am here. We are starving and tired and hot and jet lagged. Thankfully there is a 7-11 on every block and so we loaded up on our travel staples of pringles and oreo cookies and hunkered down in our awesome hotel. Yes we splurged a little and opted for a hotel room with AC and a pool (a whole 23$ a night! OMG!). I was not in the mood to get over my jet lag in a dorm room sharing a gross stinky hairy drained bathroom with a bunch of drunken hippies....well not just yet anyways.
We plan on hitting the beach somewhere in the next few days. Got a lot of planning to do to squeeze in as much as we can before we are off to visit Grandma in Bali for our last 10 days. Chad wants to do some diving so we may be headed to Ko Tao for that. We shall see. But for now I am in desperate need of sleep as our Pre-Born was never so active in its life as it was all the way here. It actually kept me awake with all his/her kung-fu moves on the plane. Glad to know he/she is having a great time already!
