USA

For those of you who have kindly avoided me over the past two months, and others who have suffered along side me in quiet agony, we can now all rejoice! The summer break has officially arrived. Better late than never. . . and better enjoy it since we'll never have one again. =\

I'm taking Friday to wrap up some loose ends here in the Bay and to spend some time with my sister. Depart SFO at 1:30 am Saturday. The plan is to catch up with some family in Hua Hin, Thailand where my lovely cousin Michelle just got hitched. Yikes! Can't wait to hit some beaches and learn me some golf. Getting there is gonna be a bit tricky and its not great news to hear that the Thai Baht is something like 30 to 1USD. How crappy is that! This traveler just lost 25% purchasing power in two years.

On the bright side, I expect the food to be cheap & spicy, the ice tea to be a soothingly orange, and the UVs to be battling my sun block in full force!
