Summer 2012: Phuket, Thailand – Kamala Beach and Surviving…
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…

Summer 2012: Phuket, Thailand – Karon and Kata beaches
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…

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 – 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…

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…

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…
