I forgot to mention something about our upcoming honeymoon to Koh Yao, Thailand that I find very interesting...
We first fly from Hong Kong to Phuket, Thailand and then from Phuket we will be taking a SEA PLANE for a 45 minute flight to Koh Yao.
I think this is SO FREAKING COOL! A sea plane. I have never been on one and always wanted to. We were told to have our cameras ready for the flight, the views we will see while on the sea plane are supposed to be awesome.
Just another added bonus, we are so psyched about this trip.

Romantic Honeymoon/1st Anniversary Getaway
When I returned to Hong Kong after visiting back home for three weeks, my sweet husband surprised me with the news that he has been looking at places for us to take a belated honeymoon. Or a First Anniversary getaway, whichever you prefer to refer to it as. We are sticking with Honeymoon in hopes of getting free stuff. Not to mention, we haven't actually had a Honeymoon.
We have been doing a lot of research on finding a private, romantic beach resort to stay for several weeks (probably a month by now!)...
Anyway, the big hold up is this...Cybr found this great place that has "water villas". It is in Maldives. It is gorgeous. All the resorts there look cool and most of them have "water villas", too.
Check out just one of the resorts here: http://www.clubrannalhi.com/pre_index.htm
They are all gorgeous, each one is nicer than the next. Some have glass bottom villas, some have a private jacuzzi, and they all walk out off a small private deck into the ocean. Holy crap!
So, what is the problem, eh? All the packages are 5 day, 3 night. This makes no sense until you delve into it a bit and then you find out that two+ days are spent in transit. I know we were going for remote, but DAMN! I still want to enjoy the time, not just commute. These packages for 5 days, 3 nights are all very expensive. All vacation packages are pricey, we get that, but we just cannot seem to get past the sense of really getting screwed on these packages. We pay out the ass and we get to relax for two nights and go to bed early the third night so we can travel at the butt-crack of dawn.
Ummm...this is starting to not sound relaxing! So, meanwhile, we are still trying to see what else is out there. The problem so far has been that after looking at Maldives and the "water villas", everything else has been about the same price but disappointing in comparison. The only thing we are finding is that for the same money we will get a full 5 day, 4 night package and actually be there the whole time. Nothing we have seen thus far offers the seclusion, romance and total coolness of Maldives...
Things could be worse! I realize this problem is so very much not a REAL problem...but it is my duty to share what is happening here.
So that is the story so far, when we figure something out, I will post.

When dreams mimic life
I had a dream the other night that I just cannot get out of my head. It is very simple dream among a long history of memorable, colorful, significant dreams of mine, but it is perhaps the most ironic of them all.
I remember a lot of my dreams and they are always in color, very vivid and frequently powerful and real. Although this particular dream is simplistic, it stands out.
In this dream, I try on every pair of pants in my closet that do NOT fit. The ones that are too small, but I still hold onto the hope of fitting into again someday (pants aren't cheap, so that is my excuse for keeping them). I just keep trying on pair after pair of pants and all of them "ALMOST" fit...but not quite.
This is my dream. They almost fit, but not quite. I am almost there, where I want to be, but not quite. I do not get upset or even annoyed by this, I simply accept it.
Okay, is this a dream or is this reality? Seriously, this dream may or may not be about pants...it may very well be about my life...or every one's life...or a lot of peoples' lives...
Maybe I am reading too much into it, but I have to say that I woke from this dream and told Cybr about it and we both cracked up on this dream for at least a day. Every time something was "almost" right, we made a joking reference back to my dream. It was quite funny and yet I cannot get past how true to life that sensation actually is or how frequently it can be experienced. And it cracked us up repeatedly, which is a bonus.
I had to share my uneventful dream that has an uncanny resemblance to life...
