My best friend for 27 years and I went to Greensboro two weeks ago for a surprise visit to her sister, Melissa. We had 3 hours to pack and get out before the snow storm hitting New York (we changed our flight at the last minute to the day earlier). Their family has a home … Continue reading Surprise Visit to Greensboro, NC
Oh Queen Elizabeth (Koh Lana, Thailand)
After a 2 hour flight listening to the planes music, featuring "Oh Queen Elizabeth" and a 1.5 hour drive with Mario Andretti, we made it in one piece to the Crown Lanta Resort & Spa, our last destination on the trip. Our room was gorgeous and we splurged here for a room with private pool … Continue reading Oh Queen Elizabeth (Koh Lana, Thailand)
Siem Reap, Cambodia
Our last city with treacherous activity... we arrived to Siem Reap and it was toasty!

Hanoi
We landed in Hanoi and went straight to the hotel to drop our bags and meet our guide. We had a half day to see the city and as with our other days, we weren't going to let time make us skimp on what we saw. The traffic was INSANE, and I couldn't have been … Continue reading Hanoi
Rock, You Are My Rock (Laos)
Arrival Day to Laos Breathtaking view on landing, it was a quick flight into Luang Prabang from Chiang Mai (1 hr). No sign of our driver, so we exchanged some money thinking we'd need a taxi. As soon as the money was exchanged, in walked the driver with our name on the sign. Arrival at … Continue reading Rock, You Are My Rock (Laos)
