Fantastic analogy
This is a suburb blog! Loved every well written word. Enjoy your affair in South Korea.

Good analogy...
I think you understand the phases of marriage very well as they apply to travel. The only difference is that being unfaithful to a city or country has fewer consequences, albeit that both lead to some regret.

You should've married her!
I actually laughed out loud at this blog - thank you!.

Shoulda Woulda Coulda
Maybe I'll journey back to her and propose to her with a green card. Thanks for reading!

I agree that cruising has its place...
and that includes the Caribbean. We've gone to the Alaska Inside Passage and South Pacific Islands, both of which are really hard to do otherwise. We also plan at least one Caribbean cruise...and easy way to see five countries in 10 days for a thousand dollars! Like you, we would try to get away from the port area.

Alaska, YES!
I love the idea of doing an Alaskan cruise, that may have to be my next!

Cleverly written. I really enjoy your writing style.

Hey!
Next I think I'll try doing something I've never done; a travel entry on a location in my home country (the good ol' USA) :-)

Re: A city of superlatives...
For sure a great post enjoyed reading the information what you had to share regarding the city of superlatives.... Vacation Rentals

Will do.
We're heading to China for a couple of weeks after we finish with the sub continent. Any recommendations on any of those towns away from sh you alluded to?

China
If you're looking for something near SH, I would recommend Suzhou or Hangzhou. Suzhou is only 25 minutes by train from SH. It's a canal city and has an array of gardens to explore. Strolling down the sections of old town with its maze of canals and arched bridges is a memory I hold dearly. Hangzhou is a city built around a lake, renting bikes and cycling around the lake offers sublime views and mysteries to unfold. If you have more time and want to venture far from SH, my favorite place in China is Yangshuo which is just outside of Guilin. Overnight trains depart from SH and go to these southern Chinese cities. Have a lovely trip!

Oh man you have been traveling too long, friend.
This post made me a little sad for you, Matt. It didn't sound like you. There is a law of diminishing returns that applies to long-term travel and it sounds like you reached it, friend. We were in Koh Chang in 2009 (in the off-season, mind you) and loved it! We stayed somewhat off the beaten path though...pretty far south on the island near Hat Tha Nam (sp?). It looks like you went to Ban Kwan Elephant Camp? We did, too and I was torn about the whole experience (my feelings about those poor elephants). Although I know that they are supported by the Asian Elephant Foundation for their treatment of the elephants, so... But like I was saying, we had a relaxing time there. Now way did we want to go to Phuket or Phi Phi!

So you enjoyed it...I think? Maybe?
Hey! Finally catching up on a few of your blogs. Can't tell if you enjoyed Bangkok or not. What can I say...Bangkok is Bangkok! I agree on one thing for sure - AMAZING street food, huh? It sounds like you had a good time, maybe? Drop me a note when you can and let me know where you are going to end up when this is all over. Miss you! Alicia

*blushes*
Thanks for the encouragement, Nanci! It's so wonderful for me to log in and see a comment like this. :-) I LOVE what you're doing in Central America and Mexico. What a liberation! Also (between you and me) Central America is still my favorite place I've ever been to, especially CR, Panama, and Guatemala (shhhh, don't tell anyone). ^_^
