After a quiet morning, writing in my journal and doing some dream for what I am birthing in the next year, I headed up to Rocky Mountain National Park.   While enjoying the sights, sounds, smells and foods of SE Asia, I reminded myself how fortunate I am to be living here in Colorado.  Not […]

I’m writing this post under very unusual conditions compared to recent trip post.  I have a great WiFi connection, am sitting in the comfort of my own living room, am sipping a homemade Chai and experiencing much cooler weather.  Home! Where is that?  Home?  The answer depends on whether or not you are present.  Really

It was a late night for me last night wandering the street, listening to music and people watching. Add in a full day of travel and I was exhausted when I crawled into bed before midnight. Still a little annoyed I was not able to get a king bed, even after it was confirmed, I

I’m writing this while riding on a bus, from Koh Samet to Bangkok, reaching Bangkok during rush hour traffic on a Friday evening. If my request fora minibus had been fulfilled, I’d be in my hotel, maybe an hour ago. It’s 5:40 pm. My “minibus” left at 1:30 for the three hour journey to Bangkok.

I’m staying in the village away from the beach. It’s a five minute walk or so. When the bakery has fresh rolls, it takes longer. Or when I fancy a mango shake, or coconut shake, or stop for water or other such beach support necessities. Like beaches around the world, everything on the beach is

I moved rooms this morning after my early morning jaunt to the beach. Now, I’m practically sitting on the WiFi antenna! Let’s see if I can post photo’s now! Contrary to a great deal of commentary describing Koh Samet in a negative light, I’m really enjoying it here! Had dinner last night with two people

Contemplating a visit to Koh Chang Island, I had anticipated finding a quiet tropical place to stay near the beach with a hammock. I’d read, write in my journal, listen to some of the Abraham and Theo materials on my iPod and savor some reflection time before heading to Bangkok and my flight back to

By now, you know I don’t travel like most people do. I was tempted to stay in Lapsing, play with the coffee guys for a week, have a brief stay at the islands and then fly home. However, that didn’t feel right. Sunday, they dropped me at the resort where I spent the night. Around
