Nai Yang Beach resort

Found this lovely resort less than 2 km’s from the airport. At a budget price of ZAR 442 for the two of us. A few hundred meters from Nai Yang beach. Quite a luxury for a backpacking trip though, but I think we’ll need this 1st night to be in comfort after the long flight & 8 hour layover in Qatar. Bear in mind we’re 47 & 48. 🙂

Some cash for the road

Some Thai Bahts to take along together with the Mastercard. Today the exchange stood at R2.66/Baht. ABSA gave me R2.38/Baht. Last year this time the Rand was at 3.55 Baht. At this rate, soon the Rand will be worth less than the Baht (Seriously). Will see if I can set up an account in Thailand for future spends.2015-03031, Thai Baht

Airline tickets booked & paid for!!

2015-03-25, TicketsSo this is it. Menno & Janneke are finally taking a break from their “responsible” and hard working lives & making a break of it. Mind you, this won’t be a typical holiday with everything pre-booked in resorts. Not the kind of holiday most adults in their late 40’s have. But then again, we’ve never really been a conventional couple have we? Anyway, watch this space while this 48 year old figures out how this blogging business works. 🙂
