Zoom, Zoom (whisper it)

Usually I like to walk on the safer side of life, (I realize traveling alone in Asia and swinging on trapeze above rocks doesn't fall into that category), but for the most part I keep it Kosher.  But there is something about zooming around on a scooter that makes life just a little sweeter.  Putting Papa and Mama Sunday's best wishes aside, I jumped on an ATV with Christin and checked out the rest of Santorini.  Phenom!



We ended the day in the classic Greek way, a dinner of chocolate crepes and white wine.  And yes, another sunset for dessert.



After 3 glooorious days on Santorini we decided to jump on a ferry and check out another one of my dream islands: Mykanos!
One of my favorite moments happened in the first few minutes of being on the island.  After getting the run-around by a hotel rep (taking us to a different site than promised) we ended up in the smoky office of a travel agent.  We sat there for a few minutes watching her fumble with a search engine until my sassy travel partner got up and politely said, "umm...can I do that for you?"  What I love about Christin: teaching the Greek travel agent how to search for hotels on Google.

Thankfully, Christin and the newly educated travel agent, found us this place!  Yes...home for a few days while discovering Mykanos!

We jumped on another motorbike and hit the beach to soak up the last of the sunlight.  A nap was in high demand because we were going to do as the Greek do that night and head out starting at
2am.  We SO crazy!

My Fair LadyBoy

Yes, finally. We found it. The combination of Thai Drag Queens (Lady Boys) and American show tunes. That, paired with Thai Mexican food, and I had quite a night in Chiang Rai! While mom devoured a whole fish and I tried to keep my food down from looking at the fried cockroaches, we enjoyed a delicious LadyBoy show, which you should as well, below: They were fab and we loved them. The best was when they would yell at each other to bow and to step right instead of left. No matter what country, a diva is a diva. Yesterday, mom had the genius idea instead of taking a 4 hour bus ride straight from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai, we would instead do a tour and just have them drop us at the end. Note to anyone: this is WAY better than being stuck on a bus for a few hours. We got to see some great stuff, my fav being the White Palace. It was this weird combo of super tacky beauty and a mesh of American humor. I couldn't take pics on the inside, but the temple was covered with images of Superm

Yesss...12 hour flight down, another 4 hour flight to go until Bangkok! I am in probably the cleanest airport I have ever placed foot in; im nervous to be here cause I feel like they are going to bust me for not showering in the last 15 minutes. My mom and I keep looking at eachother saying, "what are we doing here?? Are we really doing this trip?". I love that I get to share this with her, this is for sure the ballsy-est trip we have ever done. So far I want to eat everything in sight and put as many spicy sauces on it to burn my tongue until I return to the states in 2 months. I also feel like there was a time I thought I was semi-trendy with my fashion; now I am being put to shame and we aren't even out of the airport yet. More to come soon, see you in Bangkok!

Just to the Right of Burning Man

 And we venture!  After making a few necessary pit stops, Target for a car seat so Noah could face forward, In n’ Out because, um, Noah needed it, we pointed to the East and said, sure, why not.   Our first few hours were great indications for how a lot of this road trip will go.  Breaking out the good snacks already and yelling to each other “we’re doing it!!!!”.   Then immediately burning through all the toys I brought for this little boy and learning that as much as I plan and researched all the top ten lists of best road trip toys, there is nothing like the reality of sitting in the back of an RV while your kid screams at you to bring you right back down to offline life.    Peaceful snooze for a few hours, thank goodness  Our RV, while comfy and immediately homey, sounds like a maraca inside a wind tunnel.  So, all toys with any portion of audible enjoyment are out.  Great.  And all my magnetic tiles and letters that I pictured Noah playing with endlessly to create the words he lov
