Did i mention...planning for Thailand

Its confirmed.
These relatively cheap chaps will fly us to the famously chaotic, often seemingly predictable and nonetheless promising city that is the capital of the old Siam. This is now mere weeks away. Weeks, you hear?!
13 days and nights await us in Thailand, and three destinations within. There’s this desire to cram everything in and yet have an easy going trip. I have a feeling its not going to happen quite like that, but I cant wait anyway.

The Excel file for the trip has burgeoned into a few worksheets- an itinerary, accommodations for all three places, a budget, air fares everywhere (we’re actually planning to take only the one domestic budget flight), and now I am trying to compile the links I have discovered/devoured for future reference. Then there are the 52 emails, and counting, with different labels for them in the gmail account- but of the three not one place to stay is finalized yet! A handful of posts and replies on forums, lots of guidebook reading and web post scanning, very groggy mornings and black circles under the eyes…and its still 3 weeks away.

I love it.
