Backpacking

Have a scan at what we've been up to and the friends we've made

We came to Chaing Mai last night - amazing 12 hour bus ride - woah!

Going to stay here for a week then we're thinking of going to do our visa run to Cambodia instead of Vietnam. There is a new school looking for volunteers to help out. Keith would like to do some painting/decorating and I'd like to set their computer up and write out some jotters for the kids to start school. Now that will be contribution if we can get it all organised.

David and Nok travelled with us and we're going to meet up with Ben and Dave from Aus and hang around here for the next few days.

I'm going to try and keep this a wee bit more up to date - keep your fingers crossed!!!!

The lights of Rawai are keeping us here for a few more days, then the rocks of Krabi will beckon closer.

Thought I should post something just incase you think we'd deserted this planet and gone to Mars

Haven't made it to Patong yet, although the 'ping pong' show is still on before we head to Krabi. Giggling even more now coz I know what it is. Perhaps my feedback will only be a few descriptive words - don't want to get anyone in trouble for reading dodgy stuff on our blog!

Keith is teaching me how to play poker - good to get the brain going (at least once on our trip!). It is a major step up from my classic 'SNAP'.

Off now to... I don't know. Sit in, chill, watch the game and have a bud. Hee, hee - a large glass of Spy Classic, I reckon.

The song in my head (well, for now, anyway) is the fab tune above. Don't know who the heck sung it but it's an ace wee ditty. Guess it's somewhat different from my usual "Zipadeedoodah" or "When you're in love with a beautiful woman" by Dr Who! (Marie, Elton, Chris, Lindsey NB for 'dumb blonde' memory giggles).

We spent Hogmanay on Nai Harn beach. Saw some fantastic fireworks and consumed one or two alcoholic beverages. Everyone knows I'm such a cheap night out - two beers and I'll dance on any table! Well, for the record, I had 4 glasses of wine and got home on 1st at about 10am - really proud of this old gal for staying up so, so late.

What did you get up to? C'mon, share those insights.

Keith is having a well deserved lie in today. Bless, the guy is coping marvellously with my early mornings.

Heading to a strangely named 'ping pong' show in Patong on Saturday night. Not too sure what it will involve - everyone is saying that I will giggle even more than I normally do so I am intrigued. Somewhat concerned, however, that the guys are being cagey and it all seems a bit 'hush-hush'. Will report back with the details at a later date... any new experience is an education (I hope!)

Off to sing Zipadeedoodah whilst walking back to the bungalow.

Zipadeedoodah, zipadeeday, my oh my what a wonderful day...plenty of sunshine coming my way, zipadeedoodah, zipadeeYEAH

Go on, go on, sing it too

...Seasons Greetings to everyone.

Hope you all had an amazing Christmas and are looking forward to a fantastic 2007.

I know the SL guys will be amazing at Q4 - hope you all remember to giggle when it gets tough and laugh when it gets good. And trust me, it will get good. Superstars you are

Thanks to Jill and Marie for the great message - fabulous to hear from you all. I smiled and smiled and smiled when I read it. Hope you do too when you read this. Go on, go on, it is truly infectious. Remember, if you see someone lacking a smile, give them one of yours.

We're still in Rawai, venturing to Krabi in a week or so. Krabi is the best rock climbing place in Thailand so we will, for sure, be spending some time there. Going to try and get Keith to scale a rock face. You know, if Keith can handle my face, he can handle any rock that comes along (haa, haa, haa - mega laughs).

Heading off parasailing today so will try and take some photos and get them loaded to the site. Had one or two challenges with photos and PC's so far so we'll let you know - be prepared, you're going to get about 40 photos in a 'one-er' (is that how you type it? Go on Mrs K, please correct my grammar!!)
