  • Hua Hin, We’re Here!

    Hua Hin, We’re Here!

    Hi Gram,Yesterday was rainy so I just stayed inside and did very little, but oh, what a day we had today! It was hard waking up, but I finally got out of the warm comfy bed and did my morning stretches. David and I headed to the roof for breakfast and decided to sit outside…

  • Bangkok Chinatown

    Bangkok Chinatown

    Hi Gram,I’m still not feeling great this morning. I don’t feel bad, per se, just tired and like I’m getting over a cold. I don’t have a cough or fever or stuffed nose or any of the usual symptoms. I’m just feel crusty and tired. I’m hoping it’ll pass with some good walking today. I…

  • Off to Bangkok

    Off to Bangkok

    Hi Gram,I woke up early with my alarm this morning, excited for the day ahead of me. After almost 6 weeks in Bali, I’d be headed to Thailand! I hurried up and finished my packing, then headed downstairs for my last breakfast at the Satya house. David and I chatted a little about our plans…

  • Electrifying

    Electrifying

    Hi Gram,After getting up early yesterday and hiking up and down the mountain, I was wiped out and slept in today! I finally got up around 8 and headed down to breakfast with Dash. Ashley headed up after breakfast, but David and I hung out and talked for a while. Around 10, I headed up…

  • Volcano Hike

    Volcano Hike

    Hi Gram,My alarm clock jolted me awake at 2am, reminding me that I had signed up for a sunrise hike to the top of a volcano. I hit snooze once or twice, then reluctantly got out of bed for my morning routine. I met David and Samantha downstairs where we sat on the curb waiting…

  • The Next Few Days

    The Next Few Days

    Hi Gram,It’s been a few days, and I’ll be honest – they were kind of a blur. I was exhausted from all the travel and I had a bad case of vertigo for a couple of days that started on Friday at breakfast. Luckily, I had friends around me who understood and explained to the…

  • Ubud Bound

    Ubud Bound

    Hi Gram,Today is the day! We decided to get back to Ubud today after having spent the past week on the islands. I woke just before my alarm went off and dealt with some emails and paperwork to make use of the time zone overlap. After getting some business done, I met Dash near the…

  • Better in Lembongan

    Better in Lembongan

    Hi Gram,I’m feeling much better today. Luckily it seems to have just been food poisoning or something. My stomach has a strict policy of “if you don’t pass the test, you leave the way you came in” and kept the bad food from going any further. It sucks because it ejects all the nutrients I’d…

  • Sick in Lembongan

    Sick in Lembongan

    Hi Gram,I woke this morning feeling a little off. The display on the AC unit was shining very brightly, which kept waking me up all night. Just before my alarm went off, I was aware that my body was rejecting my lunch and/or dinner from last night. Despite trying to will myself to keep it…

  • Back to Lembongan

    Back to Lembongan

    Hi Gram,The roosters woke me again this morning, but it was just a few minutes before my alarm would have gotten me up anyway. I packed up and headed to chat with my FI friends before they took off. We all had breakfast while recounting our stories from our scooter adventures and their car tour…
