I have finally gotten my hands on my father's pictures, and now I'm yearning to visit home. I passed up this recent trip, but now? Tropical climes and ancient ruins seem just the thing. I was discussing the possibility with my mom. She seemed burned out at the idea of all three weeks spent in Cambodia, but perked up at the suggestion of two weeks in Thailand and one in Cambodia. The idea sounds better and better to me as the day goes on. I've been dying to go to this resort. Okay, so it may be pricey, but that's what saving up for a good trip is about, yeah?
Look how pretty:
So that's the decadence, but check out the pretty pictures of home:
I love the picture of the clustered tourists at dawn. I didn't remember half that many ten years ago. Oh, how tourism has changed. My mom grew up near there, and is pretty amused. But usually, I just hear her complain about how loud all the people are, and how often my aunt has to sweep her front porch now.
Now. I just have to mentally prepare myself for the heatstroke and the lack of indoor plumbing. Lord save us. I may persuade her to scale it up in Thailand, but no way are we going anywhere but to grandma's house if we're in Siem Reap. Or maybe... Ah, gentle friends, the plotting must begin now.
