We have returned again to Bucerias, Mexico for a 5 week stay. This will be the 4th year in a row that we will have spent at least a month in Bucerias. Last fall I wrote a post about how we didn’t know how to answer the question- Where is your favorite place? I have…

Koh Lipe Thailand
Out last week in Thailand! We are sad to be leaving but also excited to see a new country. We saved the last island for one of the ones we were most looking forward to – Koh Lipe. It is just a little bit bigger than our Stretch Island in Washington State and that means…
Shoeless in Koh Lanta
People are often amazed when they learn that we are traveling for months with just carry on luggage. We pack only what we need and if we need to replace something, the theory is that you can “buy anything we need, anywhere”. I am beginning to understand that is not always true. We have gotten…
Ao Nang Beach, Krabi, Thailand
We actually weren’t super excited going to Krabi. We put it into our itinerary to break up a long travel day between Thai islands. It sounded like a tourist town on the beach with a lot of hustle and bustle. It was…. but it is also a very beautiful area. Sunsets were amazing and the…
Koh Samui, Thailand
Another week, another Thai Island to discover. Koh Samui is a lot bigger than Koh Tao. Samui compares to the size of Vashon Island in Washington State. Samui is another place where tourism is relatively new. The first roads and tourists didn’t come until the 1970’s. We wanted to find a place near the big…

The only business is tourism, and the island is filled with backpackers and tourists escaping the cold of their countries for some days in the sun. Not…
Prachuap Khiri Khan
Don’t recognize this town?? It isn’t much of a tourist town. We just stayed here for a couple of nights to break up our trek from Bangkok to our first Thai Islands. We found a 3 hour bus here and booked a couple of nights at the biggest hotel in town – the Prachuap Grand…
4 Nights in Bangkok
After a week up North, we needed to check out Bangkok before laying around on the islands for the next few weeks. You can’t go to Thailand without seeing Bangkok and we had heard a lot of mixed info on what it was going to be like. Our son was here a few years ago…
Chiang Mai Thailand
We flew from Singapore to Chiang Mai to get started on the Thailand part of our winter travels. We spent a week in this Northern town which is a bit higher elevation than the other cities in Thailand so the weather is a bit more moderate. We had pleasant 80 degree days and 70 degree…
