My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • After our fun in Macau, we realized that the weather probably wasn’t going to get much better for us and my leg wasn’t going to miraculously be great for wandering the city on our own. So, we decided to book the Big Bus Tour – Premium – since they were offering discounted prices and it gave us two days as we had until late-ish on Thursday to spend before needing to be at…

  • Leg update:  It’s healing and I’m walking almost normally, but it will still be a bit longer before it’s totally back to normal…. After spending the majority of two days in the hotel room, and realizing that we are going to have to get out despite Typhoon Vicente plowing through and my leg being what it is. So, we organized to go on an afternoon tour of Macau. The plan was to catch…

  • _Born To Run:  A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen_ by Christopher McDougall Apparently, the author of this book was on The Daily Show a while back, but I didn’t remember that until R mentioned it. In any case, I came across this title when someone on Facebook had mentioned that he had just read it and become inspired. Since I have been reading books as if my…

  • Well… I’d like to post some pics, but I literally haven’t left the hotel room since we arrived – over 24 hours now, I think. I’m beyond cabin fever stage and into the acceptance that I could probably survive in a jail cell if I had to and didn’t have to worry about surviving the craziness of other jailers. Happy thoughts, right? 😉 Mostly, I’ve been convalescing my leg. It was pretty sore…

  • We’ve arrived safely in Hong Kong. Phuket Airport is nice and small, so it’s very easy to get through immigration and all that fun stuff. Our flight on Thai Air Asia was smooth and easy. We usually pay for the seats with more legroom since R is a big man and needs the space. Luckily, no one sat in-between us, so we had three seats for the two of us, which made it…

  • 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 the accident, by the way. Each morning I wake up thinking I will be able to walk normally…

  • Okay, so…most people who know me know that I’m not the most adept on two-wheels. I have balance problems and control issues (literally and figuratively), so these alone are bad characteristics when behind the controls of a motorized two-wheeled machine. We had just had a lovely dinner a little north of Patong and decided to check out the Kamala beach area to see what kind of place it was. It was almost dead…

  • The days blur together and I rarely know what day or date it is, which is how vacation should be, right? 😉 So, sometime last week, when the weather broke (thankfully!), we went exploring the island a bit. A Thai lady recommended that we see Karon beach and others had mentioned it before. Also, one of R’s former colleagues had raved about it all the time, so we wanted to see what the…

  • 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!

  • 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 distance. It was about 5km away and took just about 20 minutes to get there by scooter. We…
