Happy New Year, everyone! I rang in the New Year with Mark, my sister, four of my dear friends from home and several new ones as well. We were at the world famous Full Moon Party at Koh Phangan and it was a crazy night; one that I won’t forget anytime soon.
Onto Photo of the Week: It was another blissful week of traveling around Thailand with my family and I was sad to bid them farewell, but I’m looking forward to reliving the trip when I write about it for the blog. This week’s photo features my Dad looking out at Ang Thong Marine Park in the Gulf of Thailand.
I have a (late) 2011 roundup coming up this week, and then it’s back to our regularly scheduled Vietnam coverage. In the meantime, check out this interview I did for the excellent travel blog Always Twirling, and this roundup by Twenty Something Travel that names one of my posts in the Top Posts of the Year!
Again, Happy New Year! Where did you celebrate?
I just Loved the photo of the marina reflected in your Dads shades. What a clever idea that turned out super! Happy New Year! Love to follow you in your travels:)
Hi Sophie! Thanks for reading! This is actually becoming one of my go-to shots, the reflections in the shades 🙂 I’m surprised one hasn’t featured yet as Photo of the Week! I’ll have to do a roundup of them all at some point….
A Happy New Year to you from one of your followers in the UK.
A very Happy New Year to you as well!
An excellent choice
I’m happy to hear you approve 🙂 There was quite the controversy over here about who did and did not make Photo of the Week, so count yourself lucky!
Really like the interview. And the picture! I usually don’t like photo of the week posts, but I always like yours because, like you said, they really are photos from your week.
Thanks Lauren! I really appreciate that. I feel the same way… no offense intended to anyone, I just can’t get excited about a random photo posted every day/week.
Happy New Year to ya! The photo of the week is excellent! Hope you had a great holiday!
Thanks Rachael! Happy New Year to you as well! Thanks for checking in! 🙂
So happy to see that Steffi has realized her lifelong dream of being featured in a photo of the week!
How funny that the Happy New Year sign reads 2011!!!
It changed to 2012 at midnight! We were confused by that as well 🙂
Wait: I don’t remember getting to vote on this photo of the week! What were the other choices?????
And congratulations: You have found Mt. Rushmore’s Fifth Face!!!
Happy New Year, Alex.
Keep on bloggin’ on!

Well I figured with the holidays everyone would be pretty busy, so I did all the hard deciding work myself 🙂 Happy New Year to you as well, Steve!
