Thailand has a four-day weekend next week for the Songkran (Thai New Year) holiday.
I only started thinking today about where to go on holiday.
I want to go somewhere cool – either mountains or sea – since April is the hottest month of the year for Thailand and neighboring countries. For this reason, I’ve left Cambodia and Angkor Wat off the list.
I want a direct flight to be not more than 2-3 hours. I don’t want to catch too many connecting flights, bus or trains since I only have four days.
These are my choices. Where should I go?
Mandalay, Burma
Hanoi, Vietnam
Luang Prabang, Laos
Kuming, China
Kathmandu, Nepal
I was going to suggest TV land.
You ain't from around here, huh?
Go to the place thats the best.

Some excellent scuba diving in the Gulf of Siam off Sattahip.
I was going to suggest Silver Dollar City. But that flight is 20 hours?

Heh! If I could make that trip, I would.
Phuket is one of my favorite holiday destinations. I'm not really sure I feel entirely comfortable snorkeling around there now after the tsunami.
Koh Samui is the place to go, but it will be fully booked over the long weekend.
This is a FAMILY BOARD, MISTER!

Well, I'll say just Poo-ket from here on out.
While I'm at it, Poo, Poo, Poo and Poo.
I so want to go Nepal and Katmandu.
Except they're having street riots and stuff and I don't suppose I could see much of the Himalayas from inside a hotel room. The shoot-on-sight thingy is the final straw.

I'm gonna be even madder if I lose part of the $1,500 I already forked out on buying the air tickets.
Then, flights to Mandalay, Luang Prabang and Kuming are already fully booked.
My last holiday choice is Hanoi. I just booked the thing over the internet.
Anyone ever been to Hanoi?

I'm no Jane and I'm not staying at the Hilton, I don't think. I've been promised that there is good beer there and croissants.
Regardless, it won't be a bad holiday if I get good beer and croissants.

Sounds like the Tishamingo area. Nice country, I used to camp and fish at Blue River.

The giraffes were pretty cool last time I was there.
Do they have those feinting goats because that would really be the kicker along with beer and croissants.

Nope, closer to Ardmore and the partially completed four-lane cut-through to Madill. What is that? Hwy. 70?

Yep, my family has been there like 95 years. I inherited like a half section (a mile of highway frontage) and as they widen it to four-lane, I'm gonna lose part of my property, hopefully, I don't lose my house.
Good or bad, I don't yet know.
