Summer 2012: Phuket, Thailand – 36 days to go!
I think I’ve sort of forgotten what pics I have posted and which ones I haven’t. So, there may be some repeats. For now, I’ll just put up the pics that aren’t related to anything in particular (mostly food and driving scenes!) to catch up. I’ll cover the ‘themes’ next!

Summer 2012: Phuket, Thailand – 37 more days!
I’m a little behind in sharing what we’ve been up to other than our daily studying, swimming and overall enjoying of vacation. So, I’ll try to catch up a bit. Last week, we caught a break in the rainy weather and decided to head over to Phuket Town, which is quite close in terms of…

Summer 2012: Phuket, Thailand – The Wine Connection
One of our discoveries in the JungCeylong mall in Patong is The Wine Connection. When we discovered it, we thought it looked like a chain, but thought the menu looked good especially with their deal of being able to pick a bottle of wine from the shelf and drink it with your meal. When I…

Summer 2012: Phuket, Thailand – 46 days to go!
I gotta say I’ve had enough of the down pouring rain. This Oregon-girl left it behind because of the rain…. For the first couple of days I was staying positive about the change of pace and climate, but four days straight of this nonsense is starting to give me a little cabin fever and grey…

Summer 2012: Phuket, Thailand – Weissbier & Wine Restaurant
R is always on the lookout for good food and good beer. So, we had passed a sign for Weissbier (Wheat beer) a few times on our nightly rides. The other day, R decided to check out the menu and see if it was any good. Well, Weissbier and Wine Restaurant is a cute little…

Summer 2012: Phuket, Thailand – Days 2 & 3
I think I’m going to have to stop counting the days that I am here because I can’t really keep track of them anymore. It’s great when the days finally start to blend together as it means that ‘vacation-mode’ is finally setting in. Mostly, I do the days in the title to differentiate the posts…

Summer 2012: Phuket, Thailand – Day 1
There’s nothing quite like waking up and realizing that you’re on vacation with absolutely nothing to do. If you’re like me, then on a normal day your mind might start racing with making a mental list of what needs to be done. So, when you remember that, in fact, you have nothing that ‘has’ to…

Summer 2012: Abu Dhabi to Phuket, Thailand – The Flight
Let me just start with – It’s fantastic to be on vacation at last! 😀 We embarked in the early morning from Abu Dhabi on Etihad’s partner airline – AirBerlin. First, a few comments about this flight. This was the first time I’d been on an AirBerlin flight as I’ve hardly been to Europe and…

Spring Break 2012 – Myrtle Beach: Day 3
Since I was a little bit red from all the sun the day before, I was less inclined to spend the day at the beach again. Though, I have been enjoying being back in warmer temps! Instead, I went down for my cup o’ jo at Starbucks and did some writing. After that, I went…

Spring Break 2012 – Myrtle Beach: Day 2
My parents are in Myrtle Beach for a two-day seminar/conference on retirement planning. It’s more for my mom’s company retirement than anything else, but that means that they have sessions during the day. So, I went out exploring in the morning, but there’s not much to see. Then, I headed to the beach for the…
