Not alone. Family. Comprimise. Planning with 7 people. We all have needs and travel ideas. We all want to save money. We don’t all want to go shopping. We don’t all want to walk there. We don’t all want to eat outside in the heat, so we can smoke. We don’t all want to go swimming. But we all want to be together, and have a good time.

Fancy marriot phuket. Mai Khao beach. Pina colada happy hour in the pool watching the sun set into the ocean. Thai dance classes. Thai language classes.

Late nights talking and laughing and joking with Numidas and Todd. Laughing so hard we cry. Singing. Jamming. Joking. Karaoke.
