My Vacation - First Stop Bangkok

I have spend the past two weeks...well ten days really being papered while visiting the most exotic places IN the world...ok one place really but you know me and my dramatizations. My friends from my home town came to visit. The Amer Family. They are what my Thai friends called Hi-So, basically meaning high society. It doesn't take much to appear hi-so to a Thai person, but let's not negate the fact that to me they really are. So I was along for the ride and whatever translation I could offer.

First stop Bangkok. One fast, yet slow day in Bangkok. I think we spent as much time sitting in a taxi as walking the hot...we are talking hot hot streets of the city. It didn't take more than a day for each of us to come to the conclusion that we were done with Bangkok forever (yet I am going again this weekend, I am apparently a glutton for punishment). Our rock hard beds/bed for me and the girls felt feather soft after the long day. I didn't even mind sleeping in the middle so much after all I was surrounded by two of my best friends in the world.

All night long I lay in anticipation, just trying not to stir too much and wake those around me. Truth was as excited as child on Christmas eve. We were heading to my dream beach, that on my own budget would never have the chance to visit. Finally a glimpse of daylight!!! Oh wait my phone just says 4:00 AM, oh wait that's just the street light. How much longer will I have to stare up at the endless black hole of a ceiling?
