The day had arrived!!! My birthday was here and our night out in Bangkok was upon us! After a long day of waiting in Immigration for our visas and some compulsory shopping at Central World for books, Chad and I got ready for our night out in the city. Before we left Z sweetly had everyone sing “Happy Birthday” over some… Read more →
I had not been out in Bangkok at night in over ten years with Chad. It had been too long. Lucky for us, a needed trip to the Thai immigration and the appointment falling on my birthday, gave Chad and I the chance. Since it was my birthday, we decided to make it an event. So what that we had to… Read more →

In the 20 some odd years that I lived in Sonoma County, California it NEVER snowed. NEVER EVER. On occasion, my parents would bundle us 4 kids up and drive to… Read more →
There are not many playgrounds that I am willing to play on with Z. I admit it. I am not one of those parents that fancies playing with my preschooler. I love cooking with her, making crafts together, and chatting with her. But playing on a playground? No thanks. I would much rather let Z run around with other kids or her… Read more →
There is no thought of Bangkok without the lyrics of “One Night in Bangkok” which was sung by Murray Head rattling through my brain a few million times. I found the singers name from Wikipedia. In all honesty, I have never known who actually sung this life-changing catchy song. Okay, I am exaggerating a little and already getting way off… Read more →
I know that I had determined to make Monday Montages about positive things, but something happened last week in Bangkok, Thailand that I cannot be silent about. Last week, two bombs went off in Bangkok, the first near the Erawan Shrine which killed more than 20 people and injured over 100.

I remember now why I stopped trying to plan what we would do while we were traveling and just went with a spontaneous and flexible attitude, hoping that we would have fun along the way. It is because our plans often go awry and then I am left feeling like I missed out (just a little). My luck with planning was… Read more →
