We would like to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Wherever you find yourself - whether in the cold region of the world, or relaxing on a beach in the tropics - may you have a holly, jolly time with friends and family.
Personally, we often try to escape the colder regions of the world whenever possible. And extended trips through Thailand are so much fun. Here we rented a motorcycle with a sidecar and sped around the island, visiting a coffee shop here, a swimming spot there- the possibilities are endless. Then of course later in the evening - while sipping an amaretto sour, of course - there is the spectacular sight of the sun turning into a perfect glowing orange circle before its slips into the horizon. Whether here on the islands or in the big city, life really is a beautiful thing. 2026 is going to be great. Carpe diem!
