We Heart Bangkok, Thailand

I think Travis and I would move here in a heartbeat if there were jobs... We just love it here...

As I mentioned previously, we're staying at the Shangri-La Hotel. It totally rocks. There's a beautiful pool with loads of comfy poolside chairs and it's right by the sky train stop. The executive chef, Frank (Aussie guy), has totally taken care of Gabriella and her diet. She even had a yummy Thai curry that the chef said was gluten free. This is a huge relief for me because she'd be eating a lot of eggs, fresh fruit and veggies, and rice- if we didn't have this option. The buffet in the morning is the absolute best in the world!

After conferences, we went to a fancy aquarium at a high-priced mall. It was actually pretty cool and nice to get out of the humidity. They had loads of western restaurants, so we decided to go to Tony Roma's. Pretty random, right? Are those even around in Washington anymore? It wasn't that great but there was a Cinnabon there and that was a nice super yummy treat. We met up with Toby and Debbie's friends from Dubai who are super awesome too (Jennifer, Isaac, and Julie) at this hole in the wall down the street from our hotel. The food was amazing and not super greasy. Needless to say, I've been getting my Phad Thai and mango sticky rice fix.

On our last day, we had loads of swimming time and I went to a conference. A thunderstorm interrupted some pool time but at least we got some packing done. All in all, a wonderful trip...
