Love Story
Once upon a time on a small university campus in Kansas, I was there for Senior Weekend – where seniors spend the weekend checking out the campus to decide whether they want to attend that university. One of the events for the weekend was a dance at the Student Union, which I attended with a … Continue reading
Fly In, Fly Out
My jaunt to Bangkok was merely an overnighter. Air Asia only offers one flight daily from Bangkok to Denpasar and it’s around 6:30 a.m. The earliest flight out of Koh Samui is about the same time, so there was no way I’d be able to get to Denpasar via Air Asia on the same day. … Continue reading
It’s Been About a Month Now…
but I’m trying hard to remember what happened that Friday in Bohphut Beach. As I recall, I chilled at the apartment for quite awhile that morning. The microwave was set up higher than my height, so I had to stand on a chair to warm up my mini croissant thing-a-ma-jigs! My plan was to hang … Continue reading
My Sorry Excuse
As you may have noticed, my blogging dropped off soon after my vacation started. Things were going alright to begin with in Koh Samui.

The Journey Begins
San Francisco to Taipei to Bangkok to Koh Samui. Believe me, it was a LOOOONNNNGGG day. The trip started with the carry-on luggage Nazi of China Airlines in San Francisco. I had two carry-ons – my rolling laptop bag, plus my “purse,” which contained my DSLR, my longer lens, my point-and-shoot camera, my jewelry, my cash, … Continue reading
My Budgeting is Failing and I’ve Barely Begun
Every year I supposedly have a budget. Every year it doesn’t quite go as planned. In about 10 days I’m off to New Orleans. My plans are to stuff my face with as much fried, spicy food as possible, as well as downing multiple drinks and seeing some live music. New Orleans has things like … Continue reading
Return to the Land of Smiles and the Island of the Gods
Even though cruising the Greek Isles briefly crossed my mind as my major vacation for later this year, it would still be much more expensive than going to Southeast Asia. Thus, my plans are to return to Thailand (but NOT over-touristy Phuket) and, yes, to Bali. I’m willing to give Thailand another try – in … Continue reading
