I just got in from my business trip to Brussels and now we're packed and heading out the door for a short break to Thailand. About 10 years ago, Russell and I had a trip to Thailand nearly booked. We were on our way to make the reservations and then something came up at work - I can't even remember now what it was. But so, Thailand has been in the back of our minds for a while.
Ramadan should be finished on Sunday. And we'll have a 2-day break. Lyra is off all week. And with our time here coming to an end, we feel like we have to take every opportunity to head out and do something. Amazingly, Thailand is a 6 hour flight away (closer than Brussels!) and only 3 hours time difference. So, with some recent price incentives to get tourists back there it felt like the right thing to do.
We're only there for 4 days, so we've decided to spend all our time on Phuket - an island on the southern end of Thailand. Russell will go scuba diving. Lyra is really excited to try and snorkle. So, hopefully she and I can tag along with the scuba boat and see some exciting fish and coral. Other than a few boat trips, I'll be hitting the sun beds and lounging by the pool/beach. I can't wait.

If you're looking for me, I'll be here.

So awesome. I would love to go to Thailand.
I was in Thailand back in the early 90s; I would love to go back. Have a great time! So when are you leaving Dubai and where are you returning to?!
The snorkel made Lina a much better swimmer. All of the sudden she could float and breath and just hang out. It was as if concentrating on her breathing, made her realize that she doesn't have to dog-paddle to swim! Have an excellent time! You lucky girl!
have a wonderful trip--Thailand looks like paradise.
