"When we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours - we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness... and call it love - true love." Robert Fulghur
Turns out that the "$1,000" prize package is actually pretty chintzy. It includes a hotel and breakfast for 5 days... that's all. We're no mathematicians, but even at the fanciest of resorts, we can't quite figure out how that little package would be worth $1,000 USD. When we were there in May/June, we paid about 8 bucks a day for accommodations AND breakfast for BOTH of us. So what I'm trying to say is... our dreams of reliving our Thai days are over. No more elephants, monkeys, or tigers. No more authentic Thai cuisine or talior made outfits. No more scuba diving or experiencing the culture... unless of course someone had a few thousand dollars and/or a couple flights to Thailand to spare... :)
You may or may not recall that in October we applied to be Thailand's Ultimate Explorers. Well, we didn't make the finals (and the criteria they used for the finalists remains somewhat of a mystery), but this morning we found out that we received a prize for 'Most Creative Video'. WOOHOOO! This prize includes a 5 night stay at a Thai resort. I'm not sure what else it includes, but apparently the package is worth $1000 USD. UNFORTUNATELY this enviable prize doesn't include FLIGHTS (which is really the only pricey part about going to Thailand) so perhaps we'll randomly run into a small fortune, or at the very least find cheapo seat sales. Clearly we can't let this opportunity slip us by! $3 massages? Amazing tailor made clothes? Scuba diving? CURRY?!?!!! Count us in!
Here's the video if you care to take a gander (or click here if you're viewing this on facebook or feed reader)...
I look totally awesome when I cross country ski...
(FYI: This picture was meant to highlight my frosted hair and my frosted hair ONLY. I had been skiing with Dad & Lowell (i.e., 2 BOYS) and they failed to inform me that I had black smeared over my entire face. What a pleasant surprise it was when I took a gander through the photos hours later...)
This blog started as an engagement announcement, turned into a travel blog, then became a way to journal life with two boys and a pooch. Oh but that’s not all. Lowell has amped up the blind cycling, and he and his pilot, Mark, have their sights set on the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics! In addition to Lowell’s cycling, Lowell and I have been capitalizing on many golden opportunities since being cast on season 4 of The Amazing Race Canada. Life has been a wonderful gong show, and I hope to give you a taste of it here.
