This afternoon someone asked me if I was homesick already, homesick for Thailand? to be completely honest, no. Well actually what I’m missing right now are the Friday night massages that my hubby and I use to go to. Otherwise I think we’ve moved on quite nicely.</p> <p>And so now to just completely move it’s time to shut down this blog and move on. Time to embrace our new adventure, our new life. So to farewell Thailand and Sea, Sand and Shells here are my photo’s from our last year in Thailand.</p> <p>2011.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-myXtrbTs9l0/Tk6gERLvinI/AAAAAAAAGSo/5Jzw8ERHZu8/s1600-h/IMG_008012.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="IMG_0080" border="0" alt="IMG_0080" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-tniG_zAdUk4/Tk6gFvTsWqI/AAAAAAAAGSs/A8123gukOxk/IMG_0080_thumb10.jpg?imgmax=800" width="640" height="427"></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-bLo437F-PbQ/Tk6gGps2uzI/AAAAAAAAGSw/jSWw6fpkTd4/s1600-h/IMG_023511.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="IMG_0235" border="0" alt="IMG_0235" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-bEFtBLjS7yY/Tk6gHpt-dAI/AAAAAAAAGS0/uxe4ZQD9erY/IMG_0235_thumb9.jpg?imgmax=800" width="640" height="427"></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-R4skvKgo-TY/Tk6gIc8zexI/AAAAAAAAGS4/1FR9Uxu_uQ4/s1600-h/IMG_00088.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="IMG_0008" border="0" alt="IMG_0008" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-aCDQ6Xvzoz8/Tk6gJMSDjkI/AAAAAAAAGS8/F840Zv1FLO0/IMG_0008_thumb6.jpg?imgmax=800" width="640" height="427"></a></p> <p><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="IMG_0015" border="0" alt="IMG_0015" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-srr3fY5vKCU/Tk6gKX9lQaI/AAAAAAAAGTA/E6LQ9Ozv_VU/IMG_0015_thumb9.jpg?imgmax=800" width="640" height="427"> </p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-TceMjuIQmlA/Tk6gLuO4pvI/AAAAAAAAGTE/7DybjglSoFo/s1600-h/IMG_00618.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="IMG_0061" border="0" alt="IMG_0061" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-4K513b_47P0/Tk6gMpKXPKI/AAAAAAAAGTI/lbwaMMHVfhI/IMG_0061_thumb6.jpg?imgmax=800" width="640" height="427"></a></p> <p><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="IMG_0083" border="0" alt="IMG_0083" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-L_ThUkQ_oqE/Tk6gNs8U1BI/AAAAAAAAGTM/7DKfRmNkXkY/IMG_0083_thumb9.jpg?imgmax=800" width="320" height="480"> </p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-2d3lfE_-b1o/Tk6gOtX_80I/AAAAAAAAGTQ/ptSn_Vr46HU/s1600-h/IMG_013613.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="IMG_0136" border="0" alt="IMG_0136" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-FWdkylCIJPI/Tk6gPSGrNHI/AAAAAAAAGTU/79aqaFCs9dY/IMG_0136_thumb11.jpg?imgmax=800" width="320" height="480"></a></p> <p><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="IMG_0182" border="0" alt="IMG_0182" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-uYR77ecdPSA/Tk6gQRbVAiI/AAAAAAAAGTY/zH4wkcL59bc/IMG_0182_thumb5.jpg?imgmax=800" width="640" height="427"> </p> <p><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="IMG_0176" border="0" alt="IMG_0176" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-qXbi6uH9xcw/Tk6gRRyZQiI/AAAAAAAAGTc/Qr9M4BuYwcQ/IMG_0176_thumb7.jpg?imgmax=800" width="640" height="427"> </p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-17cMu2AcMek/Tk6gSRJNKoI/AAAAAAAAGTg/oVaPCTgEbVM/s1600-h/IMG_01556.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="IMG_0155" border="0" alt="IMG_0155" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-GGRGgLJf67k/Tk6gTTardLI/AAAAAAAAGTk/mvlDrIS-EF4/IMG_0155_thumb4.jpg?imgmax=800" width="640" height="427"></a> many of the photos are from the <a href="http://www.ancientcity.com/en">Ancient City.</a></p> <p>It was only after our trip there did I realize that I have still so much more to see and do in Thailand.

We were a little tired from the flights but i think we're caught up on sleep now. We like our house and are settling in with the 'settling in' kit that's been provided for us. Just the basic stuff.<br />
<br />
We've been told that our surface shipment left Thailand on Sunday but unfortunately our air shipment never left and it's still sitting in Bangkok. That was disappointing but these things happen. What can yo do?<br />
<br />
Anyway I hope to have my new blog up soon. I wasn't able to get my 2011 photos for Thailand up. Tha packers were moving quite quickly and my computer was packed so sorry about that.<br />
<br />
I miss visiting your blogs and hope to get back to some kind of normalcy soon.<br />
<br />
Das vi danya.<br />

We realized that our time here would be over the following year and so made an effort to see more of the country. And with a young baby/toddler in tow it’s an effort.</p> <p>This was was also the year that I lost my dad. In one of my last conversations with my Dad he reminded me not to take anything or anyone for granted and to always make the most of our opportunities. to always be thankful and that at the end of the day it’s family that matters.</p> <p>I may never have the chance to live in Thailand again so we did make the most of it. I’m also so very thankful that my father was able to come and experience a little bit of Thailand with my family.</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-YQRFrd9GwE4/TjHMncQPtrI/AAAAAAAAGMI/u5OAaeJISms/s1600-h/DSCF4276%25255B8%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none;
