A Royal Headache 2007-07-28 04:05:53 Man, Thais love their king. I mean, they are almost fanatically devoted to him. There is none of that ordained by god stuff, they just think that he is an incredible guy, who would have attained enlightenment had he been able to follow his career path, and not be forced into his royal duties [...] Read more:Royal

Ephelants 2007-07-22 03:05:14 The mightiest of all land mammals, the elephant is a sight to behold. Seen on TV, or in a zoo, they don’t convey much of a sense of size or power. But as you watch your four year old daughter scrubbing the back of one as it lays down in a river, still twice [...]
Busted 2007-07-18 03:02:31 The horror! The indignity! The Shame! My good name tarnished, all for the crime of not being able to read a sign in Thailand. Granted, the said sign was a picture of an arrow pointing right, covered by a red circle with line through it, but couldn’t I plead the innocence of a tourist, [...] Read more:Busted
I Love the Smell of Incense in the Morning 2007-07-15 02:58:08 Thailand is a land of contradictions. Where else could you see garbage piled in front of temples, or devout Buddhists using electric fly swatters to zap mosquitoes? It’s the kind of place that you will fall in love with, and you won’t know why. As Violet says “It’s nor nice, but I like it.” Read more:Smell

Indigo, Indigoing, Indigone 2007-08-19 02:33:04 Traveling can play tricks with the mind. There is some instinctual drive to make house, to feel that where you are is home, even if you are a nomad. Even wandering tribesmen in Mongolia decorate the inside of their tents to a certain comfort level. And so we have noticed the habit in ourselves [...] Read more:Indigo
Goa! 2007-08-30 02:58:17 Ah, Goa! If ever you encounter any intrepid traveler who has been to the mystical land of India, just mention Goa and they will no doubt tell you how nice it is, how it is so unlike the rest of India. Some will even go so far as to say how they avoided Goa [...]
Welcome to India 2007-08-26 02:54:59 Taking 2 flights in one day is never a pleasant ordeal. And after what we had been through, nothing sounded better than being safely on the ground, in the comfort of our hotel. Our flight left late, and our cheerful captain announced that he was going to try and make up the lost time [...] Read more:Welcome

Less Turbulence, Please! 2007-08-24 02:40:09 Riding in our final Song Thaew to the Chiang Mai airport, all of our bags in tow, there was a moment when we all seemed to feel the same wave of sadness was washing over us, and we all realized how much we were already missing Thailand. Of all the places we had been, [...] Read more:Turbulence

Making Waves 2007-09-15 08:13:15 The nice thing about living close to the beach is, well, the beach. We have been blessed in our lives to have lived in several homes that were close to the beach or just a short walk away. We were thankful that we had achieved this yet again here in India. Until we took [...] Read more:Waves
The Present Goa-ing Past 2007-09-13 08:11:58 Upon reading of the history of Goa, I was struck with a strange romantic notion that the past might hold some clues as to our future, and that we were soon to be embarking to a place that held innumerable secrets. I’m sure the secrets are there, but I think that the present has [...] Read more:Present
Ayur-Whata? 2007-09-10 08:09:50 It was only natural that with Theresa taking a course in Ayurvedic medicine that we should experience it for ourselves. We were the perfect subjects, with a few minor ailments and a willingness to try natural therapies. Violet had a minor rash on her bum that had been plaguing her since Australia, I had [...]
Home Makers 2007-09-08 08:07:24 One topic I realized that I haven’t yet explored here is how we actually deal with our survival issues on the road. As we quickly learned, no amount of planning can help you deal with what situations may arise, and we have had a knack of making up our plans as we go. The [...] Read more:Makers
Monsooner than later 2007-09-04 08:05:25 Living in a monsoon belt is one sure fire way of understanding the concept of moisture. For several months of every year, the heavens open up, and let loose their blessing and curse. The Indians might be used to it, but to us foreigners, it seems like an impossible burden, an excuse to hide [...] Read more:later
