Happy Holidays to all family and friends! I’m sure everyone’s Christmas plans are in full swing by now; shopping for last minute gifts, cooking dinners and sipping eggnog with family and friends while watching A Christmas Story. Well it’s nowhere near cold enough to get your tongue stuck on a pole in Thailand, but in contrast to the sweltering humidity here feeling chilly sounds amazing. We wish the Abrego, Handley and Robinson clans safe travels, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year (Josiah and Emmett’s first!). 2010 feels like it’s going to be swell… [View Full Entry]

I’m sitting (this is beash, sorry I haven't written much) on our porch right now in the middle of what feels like a tropical village in Tonsai beach right outside of Krabi. We have our own little bungalow with an outdoor bathroom, fan, and a bed with a mosquito net (much needed in a tropical jungle). You can only reach it by boat (funny because its not an island) but there are massive limestone rock formations coming out of the earth left and right and I’m guessing clearing out any sort of road would be a bit too difficult.

Thursday December 9th Hello from Thailand! It’s been a while since our last post, our apologies but we’ve been constantly on the move. We’ve left beautiful Indonesia behind, had an overnight stay in Singapore, spent a couple days in Kuala Lumpur and have now touched down in Hat Yai, Thailand. Phew…. We both were looking forward to Thailand as being one of the highlights of our trip so needless to say it feels great to be here. The only bummer is when we went through Immigration, we were given a 15 day tourist visa instead of a 30 day pass as [View Full Entry]

Thursday Dec. 3rd - (I wrote this almost a week ago, just couldn't get to the web...) Goodbye Bali! You’ve been great to us, but it’s time to continue exploring. Last night we went up to Uluwatu, which is a small community up in the in the hills with a temple built in the 16th century perched right on the edge of a 100 ft. Cliffside overlooking the Indian ocean. Aggressive monkeys patrol the area, stealing tourists glasses and keeping everyone slightly on edge. Beash and I fed a few before going in to see the Kecek performance at sunset. Kecek [View Full Entry]

So Beash and I got back from our overnight trip to Nusa Lebangan a few days ago. It’s one of 3 tiny islands about an hour off the coast of Bali. We went with 12 friends from Max’s school. They are an easygoing, friendly bunch of people from England. It was pouring on the boat ride out and I got stung by a bee in the neck. As soon as we pulled up to shore the rains subsided and we all got situated, negotiating for hotels along the coast. The water along the shore was out of a dream. Crystal [View Full Entry]

So Alicia and I have been in Bali for a week now, but it has felt like a month. We’ve officially fallen in love with the cuisine, the Balinese people, the beaches and the coral reefs. We are still adjusting to the blistering heat and humidity and the bugs. Alicia is sitting next to me scratching 8 bug bites on her feet and legs and dealing with a fried nose. I have some serious heat rash and what known as a Bali kiss on my leg (exhaust pipe burn from our moped.) Aside from those few annoyances, this island is amazing. [View Full Entry]
