Money for Nothin'

Just got some good news today that made me quite happy :D. This will open up some entirely new possibles in the travel plans! In fact, I am going to up the amount I was planning on spending on hotels 100%!!

Forget those $6 / night hostels ... I am going to go in style to the $12 / night hostels!!! WhooHoo! I will be with the highrollers now.

I also did something that I was not planning on doing at all... I booked a guesthouse for my first 2 nights in Bangkok. I must have had a moment of weakness where I gave into my more sensible thought. My flight lands in Bangkok at midnight - so at least I know I have a place to stay the first night and dont have to wonder around the city ringing the bell of every guesthouse I have asking if they have room available. I have already had that pleasure in Rome, and it really did not work out to my benefit. Plus this place is SUPER fancy... it has a website. Too bad 'private bathroom' is not included in the fancy part. Check it out: http://www.shambarabangkok.com/

Dear Monique,

Firstly my condolences regarding your grandfather. This is always a sad moment.

Then congratulations on your scholarship. Now I don't have to buy your Beer Lao $90 cent per bottle anymore, this will safe me a lot of money. I am really looking forward to seeing you!!! You will be my first cousin coming to visit. Let me know when you think about entering Laos to I can start planning for our Gibbon Experience!
Very smart move to book your first two nights in Bangkok. The city is a bit overwelming in the beginning.

See you soon!
