There's a "First" for everything……………..

At my age, I continue to be surprised at the number of "Firsts" still left in my life.
Some are carefully planned and eagerly anticipated- like living in Shanghai for a year.
Others are unanticipated and a little unsettling………..

So it is with some trepidation that I will experience for the FIRST time, vacationing in a country under a military coup.

In a flurry of emails between Dawn, myself and management at the Anantara Spa and Resort in Bangkok, we have decided (for now) to carry on with our plans. It has been interesting the way other staff at the resort - Expats- have weighed in - on our emails- trying to reassure us that the media has overblown the "chaos" there.
