Temporary Downtime

With graduation complete and final exams taken at the end of this week (if that sounds backwards, that's because it is) Keeks and Mac find themselves perched on the cusp of three glorious weeks of holiday. At present, Keeks is quite enraptured by Aron Ralston's book, "Between a Rock and a Hard Place" and Mac is overjoyed that her contacts came in the mail this morning. She can see! As of Friday, they have exhausted Bangkok Post's crossword puzzles, target word puzzles, and scrabblegrams, and the dazzling duo (with the addition of Mac's amie française, Marion) will board a plane bound for the beaches of Phuket. Four glorious days of sun, sand, and volleyball (the alliteration doesn't work, but one cannot omit volleyball!) and then the trio heads to Bangkok for some sightseeing and shopping. Why stop there? Keeks will fly to Singapore on the 9th, with Mac joining her on the 10th after bidding au revoir to Marion, who must return to France and its drabby weather--insert sympathy here. Ten days in Singapore followed by a week in Ko Samet is sure to leave Keeks and Mac ready to take on their biggest adventure yet--English Camp with thirty Prathom 2 (ages 6-7) students.
The point of this drivel? If you've read "Between a Rock and a Hard Place" (or have had Keeks quote from it several times a day) you'd know the importance of informing your loved ones of upcoming travel plans. As an added bonus, you can set the wheels in your head a-turning as you try to imagine the stories these girls will post upon their return. Until then!
