Happy Birthday to ME




And here I am in Thailand for my birthday, just what I wanted... It is 14 min past 12 - and being in different time zones, nobody has said happy birthday to me! At least I wrote myself a birthday message on soft white sand today. Looking at this picture, somebody out there must have wanted me to have a good birthday, otherwise my feet wouldn't have been on the soft white sand with beautiful blue waters today!

So here it goes.... Happy Birthday to Me!



Neither Paris NOR Rome, but Thailand

And so, from all of the choices in the world of where I want to go to for my last birthday in my 20's - I selected Thailand. There was so many options when I decided to go. The Paris part fell out of the picture the moment I decided Rome. From Rome, I had this whole road trip 3 week holiday planned. I take a flight to Rome, hire a little smart car, and make no reservations and just go. That was the plan and it seemed like a brilliant plan - however... 3 weeks leave was not something that happened! So, my plans had to be altered. Then, it suddenly became Dubai! I was going to go visit my friend in Dubai for a week. However, the only thing still tying me to being 'married' is my passport. With all of my documentation under my current surname and my passport being THE only thing still in my married name, I didn't want to go into a country with a surname and struggle to explain why it is the way it is. I then just thought, but I have always wanted to go to Thailand, so why not Thailand. And there and then, in a week, it became Thailand. I found out that I didn't need a VISA and then just booked a flight 4 days in advance and that is all that I did. When I landed here, I found a friendly taxi driver that took me to the Royal Balm Resort and it is lovely. So many adventures since I landed here. More about that in my follow up bloggs.
