Summer 2012: Phuket, Thailand – 24 more days….
I’ve been a bit busy with data analysis work rather than pleasure writing the past couple of days. We have been getting out to the beach for a swim in the waves. Aside from today, the weather has been beautiful; therefore, so has the water! The good news is that the bandages I have are…

Summer 2012: Phuket, Thailand – one more day to Hong Kong!
Seriously, cabin fever is setting in. I’m sick of the hotel bed. I want to jump in the swimming pool, go for a walk without pain or limping…. It has only been five days since the accident, but I would like for the healing process to be a little faster, please! Here’s the story of…

On Writing – Travel Writing
Okay, so yesterday I posted about my little annoyance towards ‘self-help’ writing that seems to be the more popular way of getting published quickly. I expressed that I wanted my writing to be about the art of storytelling. This is STILL true; however, I must admit that it is a little bit hypocritical of me…

On Writing – Generally Speaking…
So, lately I’ve been going between reading, writing for my dissertation, wishing I were doing more travel writing, wondering if I should be writing my life stories, and giving up on all of it by taking a long nap after playing some games on my iPad! 😛 I’d like to say I’m joking about the…

Summer 2012: Phuket, Thailand – 41 days to go and 8 until Hong Kong
I’m long overdue to post some pics. Sorry… The really good news is that the rain seems to have broken for a bit and we’re back in sunny weather. The past couple of days we’ve been out on the scooter for most of the day exploring the island of Phuket. I’ll post more on that…

Who Cares?
Okay, so I’m having a bit of a pity party on my behalf. So, if you’re not in the mood to read my whinging or just don’t feel like reading anything down, this is not the post for you! First, there really is nothing in my life that is so bad. I have a great…

Just a few pics to show what we’ve been up to. It’s not all, but just a few tasters: [shashin type=”photo” id=”5752,5753,5754,5755,5756,5772,5773,5778,5751,5750,5749,5784″ size=”small” columns=”max” order=”user” position=”center”] -T 😀

Summer 2012: Phuket, Thailand – 50 days to go!
Just realized that I missed writing yesterday as I spent it at the pool. I had meant to do some writing and work, but instead just enjoyed spacing out, watching people and relaxing. It was a good alternative. 🙂 Today is rainy, so I have no excuse not to get some things done. Unfortunately, I…

Summer 2012: Phuket, Thailand – Quiet days
Nothing new to report. Just having some quiet days – reading, swimming, sleeping and relaxing. That’s what my two-week relaxing hiatus is for, right? Gonna start making lists/notes of things to do, though when I get back into the swing of things. Did go for a short run and walk today, which was good…. More…
