It is my 6th year returning there and I feel the excitement already kicking in (and yes, I am already thinking of how little I am going to be bringing on this trip and am excited to live out of one bag again for awhile!

So after 7 weeks of living a near perfect lifestyle here, I am packing my bags for Bali and saying good bye to Ko Lanta… for now. The local gas station- a most welcome spot when you are low on gas- one learns to spot these plastic orange bottles from a great distance! A full tank costs about 2 US $!

It is rare that I find myself so inspired to write and share .I am up at 6 in the morning right now, my head spinning with thoughts, ideas, and memories already conjured from my 2 days of visiting Cambodia thus far…I have another week to go here before I begin my journey to Vietnam. My most basic (and very vivid) thoughts and memories of Cambodia had to do mostly with my sitting in front of the television...
