Wanderlust

wanderlust

No need to adjust the monitor. I snap the planes from inside the departure lounge (of Suvarnabhumi Airport) where there is a metal net covering the glass window.

The last time I travelled anywhere was last September. The last time I went to places in my bucket list – Pagan and Mandalay in Myanmar – was last July. It wasn’t that I didn’t have the opportunity to travel since then but that’s another story all together.

However, I am going to vacation the next ten days, starting with a nature hike in Kanchanaburi; then off to the island of Penang; and returning to the 100-year floating market in Samut Sakon. And then the ultimate trip will be the family pilgrimage to the Philippines in December. I guess the travel diet is over and I’m stuffing myself with wanderlust.
