WOW!
I guess I not only better apply for my passport, but I'd better start saving! This would be a FABULOUS experience!!!

HOW COOL. Wish I had known and I would have given up all purchases and spending for a year to take this amazing journey! It will be amazing for those lucky ones who get to share your experience. Great, great idea!

Sounds AMAZING!! I wish I could do that!

Emily,
What a great idea. I have been to Bangkok many times (in connection with work), and I have always enjoyed my time in Thailand. Right now, after reading your blog, I am daydreaming about a 2 hour Thai massage for $15. For those of us that can't indulge in this fabulous trip, is there any chance you and Tara will do something in Southern California? I recently moved to San Diego and I know you are both nearby.

Wow! One day I plan/hope to go on a trip like this. You guys are going to have so much fun!

Posted by: kate | May 29, 2008 at 03:06 PM
*sigh* in my dreams!!! I can't even imagine all the fun that will be had!! I'm sure the spots would be full before I could save up..
Posted by: Just Lulu | May 29, 2008 at 03:08 PM
Will you do this again? Does it matter if you don't know me? :) I'm THIS CLOSE to doing it....but I must know if this is a one time thing or if you will do it again.
Posted by: erica grover | May 29, 2008 at 03:17 PM
i will respond here when i can for em, since she is fluttering about italy at the moment! :)
erica-we definitely would love to make this a once a year event, but we just have to see how this one goes first.
lynn-would we do it here in socal? i guess that is a slight possibility...but i cant say for sure.
Posted by: tara | May 29, 2008 at 03:26 PM
This sounds INCREDIBLE!!! With you two? What an amazing adventure!!! I am just SO heartbroken because I can't join the fun...I have NO MORE VACATION TIME left for 2008!!!

wowza - you gals are amazing! Think David and the kids would mind if instead of buying the kids plane tickets for our Hawaii trip next March, I bought myself a trip to Thailand instead??? Seriously, if I earn some bonus awards this year and you still have spots open I am so in! I probably won't know if it's doable for me until the end of July, but I'm crossing my fingers!

OH MY. OH EMILY AND TARA! IS THIS IS DREAM OR WHAT??? I wanna GO! I wanna take 6 of my INSPIRED BFFs (you know who you are, girlies!) and hang with you too in sarongs for a week.
OK...how much can I get for a kidney? Seriously. I wanna start selling of parts. I want it I want it I want it. If I just start begging in my blog...is that considered MAIL FRAUD?
Come on girls....let's get CREATIVE HERE! WE NEED TO DO THIS!
Posted by: Susan Gilman | May 29, 2008 at 08:24 PM
oh dear...pardon my TYPOS!! (I am THAT excited about it!) I meant "....and hang with you TWO...." and "I wanna start selling OFF parts." and "If I just start begging ON my blog..."
breathe. in. out. I think I am hyperventilating!
Posted by: Susan Gilman | May 29, 2008 at 08:26 PM
I'm SO in for 2009's trip. I have to get the time off and save...but I'm definitely going, so you have to do it again. Pretty, pretty please!!!!
Posted by: Cate | May 29, 2008 at 08:55 PM
this sounds like it's going to be an awesome adventure!
Posted by: Sandy Burns | May 29, 2008 at 10:25 PM
Sounds fantastic. I'm working on hubby right now as I think it's doable and surely they won't miss me for a week!!
Posted by: Sarah van Wijck | May 29, 2008 at 11:24 PM
I think there's a song about "wishing and dreaming"... you guys will have an amazing time, I'm sure :)
Posted by: Danielle Q | May 30, 2008 at 12:28 AM
OMG. I am so there. Quick I better find out some more details.
Posted by: Rebecca Cameron | May 30, 2008 at 01:10 AM
will this be a yearly event?, if so can I be the first to book for next year (2009) :)
Posted by: Thembi Pain | May 30, 2008 at 01:25 AM
