KOH RONG ISLAND....






So my first vacation/ adventure in Camboida was 1 night to a resort called Monkey Island on Koh Rong Island. I went with friends who all had to return to work the next day. Once you visit paradise... well lets just say.. I didnt want to leave... Soooo I didn't. hehehe :o) I waved good-bye to the boat as it left the island with all my friends on it Sunday afternoon. I decided to remain in the bungalow... which I shared with Martinia- a girl a just met- for another night. Then... well I still wasn't ready to leave paradise after 3 days... so I relocated to the pier for another 4 days!!! I did kinda ruff it the rest of my time... to a dorm room with about 15 people, not hte most beautiful bathrooms, and the same lunch every day! thank goodness in this one case I was not the guy living there for 6 months. I decided since I was staying I could be productive and decided to take scuba diving lessons so now... yup Paris is scuba certified! Hahaha! Who would have thought!! Well... me :o) I spent Mon-Fri in paradise scuba diving on different islands off the coast of Cambodia! Sooo much fun and beautiful. I can definitely say I know why scuba starts in a pool because with un-perdictable tides and wave size it is a little difficult to learn scuba skills- like taking off and re-covering your mask- on days you are getting tossed in the waves and trying to stay in one location is a challenge for a newbie. Hehehe!! Soo muhc fun.. but I did actually leave the island on Friday to return back to Sarah's temporary home in Phnom Peng.

Oh.... paradise how I will miss you!!

Packing...

So I am leaving tomorrow morning and I have yet again coming down to packing an over-weight bag! I just wanted to mentioned that my bag is still fairly empty- at least 2/5ths or 1/4 empty. Sooooo I have decided I have become such a great packer thats its actually bad! I did not roll my clothes, air tight seal my items or anything! I would like to know why suitcase companies are allowed to make bags that are soooo big I can easily fill it with 100 pounds of stuff, when the limit is 50 pounds! Hahaha... so I now have a 1/2 empty bags where my belonging will all slosh around in my bag for my 28hr flights... fabulous!

Sum of the story... I think that suitcases should abide by the 'flat-rate' mailing idea... if it fits in my suitcase I should be able to bring it... so make bags the size we are allow to fill to the brim and smart packers get the benefit from it!! hehehe :O)

Headed to Cambodia...

Asia is in my sights!

I am leaving next Friday morning (on a 28hr flight assortment) to visit Phnom Penh, Cambodia for 4 weeks. This has been some really fast decisions to even go sooo I really have no idea what I am in store for. My sister, Sarah, and her boyfriend, Noman, have been living there since aprrox. Oct. so I have not had to worry much about planning as they will be with me and already familiar with the country. Minus a blip of delaying my flight 2 weeks and expediting my passport post- flight purchasing! But with my new passport in-hand.. all worrying is aside and my sights are set for an amazing adventure of a lifetime!!! :O)
