Chiang Mai Oh My

I am quickly falling in love with this city. I know I’m running the risk of saying this every time I hit a new place in Thailand, but Chiangmai is really quite amazing. I love the layout of the city WAY better than Bangkok. Bangkok is sort of just a sprawl, where as Chiangmai’s main …

Mai Pen Rai

Smiles On The Horizon!

It is hard for me not to love anyone that has a beautiful authentic Tuscan meal and wine for me, never mind a …

Sacralicious

It’s been a busy week since I left Belfast, and leaving Belfast proved no small challenge. Last Monday Carol left for Prague for the New Year celebration. I too was supposed to depart, but because I had stayed up the entire night before scouring the Internet for flight deals to Bangkok and various other travel …

Beyond Belfast

Alright… so I think I’m about to rush the computer with such force that my noggin and the monitor will disprove all known physics regarding two objects occupying the same time and space. I was up all night (no not half the night) trying to sort out aspects of my trip. Things got pretty complicated …
