Anyway, since I am awake and feeling strangely productive I'll share some trip(-in-the-making) plans.  Thailand. Seriously, I wanna go!  There is this amazing program where you do what I call a "volunteer vacation."  Basically, you volunteer your time and resources (basically yourself) and in return you get to vacay in a beautiful country.  And by vacay, I mean you work while you are there and volunteer your time.  Okay, so we've got the volunteering part down.  But it is so awesome.  I wanna wake up with elephants near me and I want to help people!  Here is the link for the program that I am looking at http://www.volunteerhq.org/volunteer-in-thailand.

So cool, right? (Well, I guess you have to click the link first and check it out before you can answer).  But I could teach some awesome people English in a school and stay with a beautiful family.  I could learn about their culture and be immersed in their world.  I just love the whole idea.  It is so fantastic and I don't say that about everything.  Or if I'm not feeling teaching (but when am I not feeling teaching??), I could do field work like building a school, painting a building, building a water tank (??), or helping with a garden! It all sounds super great and I'm not being sarcastic in the least!!! I really want to go!

 I am contemplating going myself because seriously, who am I gonna convince to give up their life for 3 months and live in Thailand with me??  Any takers??

Thailand has my heart right now!
