Taking a holiday...

As I write this, I'm packing for a much needed holiday abroad. I have each of the kids' favorite stuffed animals thrown into the suitcase and have a mental list of airplane essentials. After the months of living with political turmoil, getting my daughter happily to the end of her first school year in Thailand and experiencing the joys of the first half of my third pregnancy, I am more than ready for a break from daily life. We'll be visiting family, kicking back and enjoying each and every moment. We'll most likely return to Bangkok with far too much luggage, jet lagged beyond belief, and a few pounds heavier from holiday (over)eating. But, above all, I hope we return to Bangkok refueled from a wonderful summer spent enjoying family and time kicking our feet up. So, until our return (when I am certain you will hear much about the perils of Bangkok's monsoon season!) I will be most likely taking a bit of a computer holiday as well. See you soon.....
