Are we there yet?

So, guess what! It's very nearly honeymoon time. So close I can almost.......

There are only three sleeps till holiday, two if we are being realistic. I highly doubt I'm going to get much sleep on Saturday night considering we fly out at 4.50am and I am one of those excitable jumpy annoying wonderful people who get overly enthused and start compiling lists of lists of things that I've written and making sure that all lists have been checked and double checked, and then writing lists of things that I've definitely checked off lists.

Three sleeps! (well two)
This means in only 78 hours I will be on the plane, 78 hours!!!!
Thats only 4729 minutes! - ok minutes make it sound long :(

but after those 4729 minutes are over I only have 3 hours and 40 minutes on the plane and then I will be in Bali again!! Almost exactly a year since we last were there - wayyyyy too long. Way too long!

It's only 4727 minutes now!!

And to those interested parties - come on don't lie, I know you are very interested, that means I officially only have 104 fifteen minuteses of work time left. Excluding lunch breaks. And I plan to actually work less than 90 of them:)

Part of our honeymoon is going to be spent in Bangkok - we had planned this section of the trip to be the exciting bit but watching the news lately I think it may be more exciting than we first anticipated. At this stage I'm not too worried - a little bit of civil unrest never hurst anyone........ right? And I'm invincible girl, nothing bad happens to me, I'm not even a skin cancer kind of person.

Perhaps it isn't even that bad - the media does always exaggerate things a little, I'm going to reassure myself by posting the most extreme media accounts of this little political thingo.

"A crowd of some 15,000 sprawls out around the Rachaprasong intersection, many dozing under canopies, sharpened bamboo sticks beside them in case things turned ugly again......

Red shirts atop the barricade hurl abuse and set off firecrackers to unnerve soldiers, many armed with loaded M-16 assault rifles and shotguns, just a stone's throw away."

Also just realised that the enemies of the red shirts wear yellow, shit - I look really good in yellow. Guess thats another colour I will have to avoid in Thailand. Bugger.

Perhaps the red shirts will be victorious, the government will step aside peacefully and by the time we get there (almost two weeks) it will be a fresh new country and we will get to see the wonders of the celebration of people power?

Nah guess not.

btw - 4713 minutes!!! woop woop
