Flying to our little Island

Today packed and got ready for our trip to our little Island in Koh Sumui...the Hotel gave me free internet while I was there because there was a little trouble hooking up to the net so they waved all fees and gave me today to use free before we leave for our trip, so I uploaded all our photos from our ceremony and the rest of our vacation trip and touched bases with all of you....yeah!!!...got a private taxi to the airport which is a big deal here, as everyone uses public transportation as it is cheaper, but we had all out luggage as well as Ken's brothers....get to the airport and it's real small , no big hassle to go through security...but as I look around all the passengers are men, so they didn't use jet fuel to fly the airplane, they flew on testosterone!...lol I knew now why all these men where here on vacation and it was not the beaches! no judgment, it's all good!

Arrived and got a cab to our little casita (cottage) and it was so peaceful, little but ours for now!....pretty bare and it needed my touch badly so tomorrow going on a shopping spree of sarongs to decorate the walls and add a little feeling of home here...bought nice cushions for our little outside chairs which is our little dining area...with a view of the ocean!!! yes it is all back down to basics here, just the necessities, if I lived here I can turn this little cottage into a little Gene bottle (like I dream of Jenie) as it is my style of decorating...and with all the beautiful fabric here it would take me a week and it would be done...our rent here for a month is $350.00 a massage is $8.00 for one hour...we figure if we wanted to we could live here comfortably on Ken's social security with no problem and lack for nothing...it is quite tempting, no more worries and no more bills!....life in paradise yet as close to all of you as a keyboard!...I would insist on wireless as it is about $75.00 for a router one time fee and then I'm happy...

Our day would start at sunrise with coffee over looking the ocean...then a walk down the beach for our 8:30~10 am yoga class then an hour massage then a walk to get some fried rice and walk back and take a nap! How does that sound for a new life style?....That is what we call retirement in style within our means....a lot to think about here...in this compound there are seven little cottages that need my touch and they would be just the perfect get a way for my friends and anyone one who would like a month in paradise...If it was my perfect dream plan it would go along these lines.....do a ten year lease from the owner of the property, fix each little cottage up in western comforts but Thai style with all the creature comforts, add a hot tub to each on the outside surrounded by lush plants and Buddhas at every turn with solar lights everywhere to light your path to the ocean.

Now on the ocean front I would have seven wooden double loungers with umbrellas so every guest here would have their own lounger...I would also have a local vendor bring breakfast everyday with fresh papaya, pineapple, melons, and bananas, and fresh breads....

At lunch time I would have another vendor bring and cook for us all a Thai style lunch which is fried rice, noodle soup and an egg roll...and for dinner we can walk down the beach to have dinner served to us on the beach on romantic table settings with candles and lovely music...with dinner being fresh catch of the day with steamed veggies and rice...stroll home and the evening is yours to do as you like as the day is....you can even have a massage lined up for right before bedtime in your own bed! I figure without doing the math it would run about $1,000 a month....what a dream vacation huh?....I feel this is do able....just have to have money to invest to redo the decor and add the tubs and ammonites to each little house...Oh and yes have it would all be as retreats, spiritual retreats! offering classes in many areas, like Reiki, Tantra, EMT,past life regressions, chakras,meditation, and so much more that the College of Metaphysical has to offer...or just rent care free and leave all the business thoughts behind....

I'm putting this all out to the Universe and let God take it and bring it back to me even better then I have asked for!...This life style is not for everybody....it's for folks that are tired of the States, the worries, the money crunch and want to live a quite life...or just want to get away from it all for a month, or more...if you need to be entertained, there is plenty to do here...as for me all I need is my computer, yoga, a daily massage, meditation, and above it all the love of my husband and my three fur babies and I'm set for life...there are so many little Islands here to get away on day trips or longer exploring this beautiful land and fabulous water of teal blue....like snorkeling, scuba diving, or just plain vegging out and soaking in the sun with a frozen drink to thrill your spirits....

Last night was Christmas Eve and we met our neighbor Steven and his lovely Thai wife Nan...we went over to their casita and watched a movie and had popcorn and candy and had a great time just enjoying the simple things that we have all taken for granted for a much faster life....earlier in the evening Jeff had made us Christmas Eve dinner and served it at our little outside deck...He made us a verity of steamed mixed fresh vegetables just perfect in flavor and taste not to mention healthy!...we talked about all the possibilities that can happen here and how wonderful the evening was...I must say it had to be the best Christmas Eve ever (except for my babies not being here too) that we can remember...listening to the ocean roar and just the company of Jeff and Ken...The bond of brothers have begun to grow and flourish here...its all good!!!
Pictures to follow....to tired to load them ....lol
