The Ease of Travel

In honor of it being Spring Break time back in the States, we are going to do some catching up on our getaway from last October.  The "fall" slipped away from us, so even though this is dated we will still fill you in.

One of the many things we love about living in Cambodia is that places like Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia are in our back yard.  Vietnam is 6 hours and a $9 bus ride away, and Thailand is a place you choose to go to on a whim with your friends.

And that is exactly what we did last October.  We went to Koh Chang, Thailand for a 5 day holiday with our friends the Blaines.  On a Wednesday we decided that we all needed a break and hopped in their car and drove 5 hours to the Thai island of Koh Chang.  I baked some cookies and sliced some veggies for car ride snacks and we were off.

We kayaked in the ocean and...

We kayaked on the river

We golfed a par 3 course (which I was terrible)

Visited the island's waterfall

And enjoyed this view from our hotel.

We love that this is easier than getting to Albuquerque from Denver, and costs a fraction (to say the least) of the price of a getaway in America.  We are thankful for friends like the Blaines who join us in our crazy ideas, and thankful for the things we have seen.
