I have to start off with the crazy travel day I had getting from Bali to Vietnam. Distance wise….it’s not that far, (Only 1,560 miles), but there were no non-stop flights and really no easy flights. Instead I took three flights that were only 81 miles more, but countless hours more. (My flights were in […]
Jeff and Sophia’s wedding was so much fun, I stayed till the last bus left at midnight and Malu and Scotti stayed as well. So the three of us took the bus back to town and then a taxi back to the villa and I think I was in bed around 1:30am. First Trip to Ubud […]
I’m finally on my way to Bali. I knew I was coming to Bali for Jeff and Sophia’s wedding in July and when I decided to extend my trip for three months this summer, SE Asia was a perfect spot. It has now been 6 weeks of traveling, and I’m finally in route to the […]
After leaving Thailand, I had to find a way to get to Bali for Jeff and Sophia’s wedding and only had a couple days in between. I wanted to go someone new that was on the way and wasn’t going to be too much trouble to get to. So after a lot of thinking and […]

Finally made it to our wonderful beach for happy hour. Good news…Vanessa and I finally made it to our beach resort in Ko Phangnan. We thought it would a simple travel day, but the day turned into a long one with multiple attempted airport landings, a return trip to Phuket and finally a successful landing […]
In all my years of flying today was an airport landing first! Vanessa and I left Phuket, Thailand for a quick 45 minute flight over to the island of Ko Samui. It’s a decent sized international airport and the airport takes in many flights a day. As we were going in to land, I could […]
Vanessa and I decided to take a quick trip over to the island on Ko Phangnan, which is on the eastern side of the country. I first visited Ko Phangnan for a few days for New Years Eve in 2002-2003 and really enjoyed it and was happy to go back and try another part of […]
As my friends know, I always think very think very financially. One the most asked questions is how much did this all cost…or how much was this country or that experience and I would never know if I didn’t track it so here goes. I do my best to track the money spent in each country […]
