Don and Jens Excellent Adventure - out of town

out of town Hi,
We are a couple of earth people living on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe. With a bit of effort we ended up with a block of time, together, that we could use for leisure or work, we picked leisure. It's time for a road trip.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -Mark Twain

Alrighty then. Home, here we come! It is about 5:15pm now (Korean Time), we board in about 10 minutes, so I'll keep this short and sweet. The time difference now is 14 hours from here to San Francisco. According to that, we should have been home a couple of hours ago (if the time had no hour difference). We will be following the sun, so it should be great. We have had a 10 hour delay in the Business Class lounge, very cushy and comfy. Our flight is just over 10 hours long, we will be home before we know it. [View Full Entry]

So much to report...hard to get it all in one sitting. The night after I wrote last, we got robbed! Therefore, making us less interested in writing to share our crummy news. It really has been quite a let down! While we were out on the town that night, sometime between 9:30pm and 2:30am, someone had the brass to break into our locked bungalow and steal all of our electronics and many other valuables. Here is the summary: camera, with both memory chips (all 800+ picturs we have taken over the last 6 weeks) and computer cable, binoculars, my iPod nano [View Full Entry]

Another beautiful day in paradise. I am not really sure what day of the week it is or the date, but I know we are still in May. It seems like the only way that we find out anything resembling the date is during the day and late at night in Thailand they have fights. Fighting seems to be a huge part of their culture, tons of promotions for the fights and trying to get peope to attend. They have fights Sundays, Tuesdays, and Fridays. It helps a lot to know that because when the pick-up trucks drive by blairing on [View Full Entry]

Sairee Beach
The Sky is on Fire
Boat of Luxury!

Alright, this weather has taken a second day to force us to relax and read a bit more. I have come to town on my own (Don suggested that I drive by myself every once in a while) to exchange my reading book and jot a few things to you guys. We have been just relaxing and enjoying the changes in weather. Don claims that there was a hurricain that hit us last night, as the winds were atrotious and gusts shaking our little bungalow. The wet clothes that had dried from the previous day's snorkeling had been thrown to the [View Full Entry]

Koh Tao South
Our Bungalow area
Koh Tao

Today, May 18th, the weather is not very good. Very windy out and the clouds are grey. Today, we had planned to take a drive out to Shark Bay and check out the snorkeling there. We were told that Manna Rays, Reef Sharks, Great Barracuda, and Clown Fish were within view. Yesterday, we drove out to two different points of the island (South and East) and snorkeled there. Many beautiful coral and colorful fishies. It has been so much fun. Our daily regiment has been: up early, snorkel, back for breakfast (lots of fruit) and shower, go for a drive to [View Full Entry]

In Town Lodging
Rustic Beachfront Lodging
On The Water Lodging

Well hello there, Jen hardly lets me use the computer because I write soooooo slow. So today I sent her on a mission to get us a berth on a slow boat to China or Ko Tao. Everything has been going good, can't think of many problems. We have been spending time lately mostly in or around the water. Snorkling has just been medium and I am looking forward to getting over to Ka Tao where it is fantastic. Ko Phan-gan has been very nice. For anyone considering coming to this island I can recommend Haad Yao. I have been traing [View Full Entry]

Nepal Eagle
Dhaulagiri
Roadblock

We made it throught the Full Moon Party... not without some hitches. We had our first encounter with the Federalies (Local Police). During out fun times and beach going, someone took it upon themselves to steal some of our stuff. Granted it was our fault for leaving it, but we left it among what we thought was a safe and well populated area, next to some local vendors and local family with kids. We were with out stuff (Don's Teva Sandals, My sunglasses, His sunglasses, His Favorite Heavenly hat, and my baseball cap, not to mention the duffel bag that I [View Full Entry]

Morning After

I just don't know where to start, so I will let you all know that I have been infamous for throwing out random thoughts on our trip, I just blirt them out as if I am having a full converstions in my head. Don looks at me and says, "ok", I respond with "Jenny's random thought # 164". So, if I write anything like the way that I have been thinking over the last couple of weeks, I am appoligizing now for the lack of fluididty that this blog may contain due to the fact that we haven't written in quite [View Full Entry]

Dubai sure was a great trip!!! Amazing the archetecture there and the amount of money that comes and goes through that country. On our second to last day, we took a very long walk along the beach park to watch the sunset and during our walk back we were just following the main roads. We had no idea where the bus stops where because of the road construction that is going on there and all of the bus stop signs had been removed (builing an underground tunnel system that should open in 2009)... Anway, we came across one of the nicest [View Full Entry]

ABC on our way.
Himalaya
ABC - Annapurna Base Camp

Arrived into Dubai last night about 1am. They had a little trouble with our (Jen's bag), we waited over an hour for it to arrive. It was the last article of luggage off of the plane. Oh well, the flight over was amazing. It lasted a little over 6 hours. We got to drink whatever and whenever we wanted. He had a four course meal. We chose what movies that we wanted to watch from our own personal TV sets (or Sports events, or World News, or TV, or Video games) imbedded in the seats infront of us. We each watched [View Full Entry]
