I am just about living my dream this week. Tik checked me into a rather nice hotel yesterday evening and I am writing this sprawled across a nice double-bed with the air conditioning on and Discovery channel in the background on the TV. I am a little bloated from my American breakfast buffet downstairs but refreshed by the hot bubbly bath I have come out of.

This is the lifestyle I have been working towards. I am spending this week in the Charoen Thani Princess Hotel in Khon Kaen. I have my cellphone, my laptop and a few books.

It’s about 7:30 a.m. and I’ve been up over 90 minutes. I’m ready to get a full morning of work underway. Tik is working today and tomorrow but she’ll have time to be with me after 2 p.m.

I’ve not yet said hello to Tik’s family but I’m excited to practice my Thai a bit more. One reason for coming out here for 9 days was to consolidate my Thai, but being in a quality hotel and having Tik take care of me has made me lazy already. I can’t see myself losng weight this week, despite having a fitlness centre and swimming pool to kep me entertained.
