We have been taking it easy, exploring the many parks, wats, and downtown sights. The weather has not cut us any slack, but we are getting used to it. Today we decided to treat ourselves and spend our last night at a swanky hotel by the airport, enjoy the pool and relax before our 30 hour trek home.
As we are winding down here I cannot wait to come back. It has really changed both Deirdre and I in a positive way and I definitely suggest for anyone who hasn't been here to give it a try. The people are so amazing, the food has been wonderful and the weather is glorious. Now this may sound cheesy, but the hardest part about a vacation like this is simply committing to go. So do it people!
We have had no issues with getting around, booking rooms, safety or keeping ourselves occupied. I don't want to ramble on all day and I promise I am not getting paid by the Asian Tourism Board.
It's hard to express emotion and tone in text sometimes, but I hope that the joy and happiness that this trip has brought both Deirdre and I has really come through.
It's been cool to know that the people Deirdre and I care about have been having so much fun reading our blog and enjoying the pictures. I was intimidated at first with posting my writing and photos, but your positive comments really made it fun for me.
Well, I better get back to sipping my drink by the pool and enjoying one last afternoon of sunshine.

I think your writing is really great man! I've been impressed by the immaculate punctuation and overall absence of typos. One question though.
