This seemed like an impulse purchase but after an hour of discussion we snatched up the tickets at an amazing rate of $560/ticket. We had been searching for months for one ways and low airfare, nine hundred, sevene hundred, a thousand. These prices seemed like round trip tickets to us, we didnt want to feel restricted with time frame of having a return date, so one-way was the choice.
Feelings of euphoria, fear, excitement, dread, happiness, sadness were running wild inside of us. We couldn't believe that we were actually going. We were in some sort of dream state where no words were able to transpire except the 4 words WE'RE GOING TO THAILAND! Shortly after the groundbreaking purchase tears of joy and dance were unleased in the condo. WE'RE GOING TO THAILAND, WE'RE GOING TO THAILAND, all I can think of is that we looked liked like the kid who got Nintendo 64 for christmas (youtube it).Now that we have purchased our tickets, the next step is to outline our trip. Going with the plan of not having one, our guidelines will be on the fly. We have a few ideas of things that we want to do during our trip but having actual reservation are something that we both do not want. Being able to move freely will open up all sorts of doors and oppournities that we would have otherwise have if we were locked into an itinerary. I guess our only goal on this trip is to fully experience life outside the comforts of the states as well as humble ourselves as human beings. We want to live the simple rewarding life rather than the consumer life as we now know it. Learning different techniques of organic pratices as well as being a wwoof host. Our options are endless at this point, learn scuba, reef research, cheese maker, kayak guide, english teacher we are open for it all and more.
