 Well if you haven’t already guessed from that intro Colt got his time off approved and we are booked for Thailand! Our rooms have actually been booked since the last week in April but we just booked our flights this past Sunday. Booking flights has never been more exciting or nerve-wracking! We researched for what seemed like forever. We wanted to ensure we made the smartest “time” decisions. Thailand is 17 hours ahead of Hawaii so we automatically lose a day and a half in travel no matter what. We researched every possible airline, layovers and routes until we finally found “the one.” I wasn’t sure if Colt was going to throw up or explode from excitement when he finally hit the “next” button to authorize the purchased tickets but it was defiantly an intense moment. I was jumping up and down on the couch with my eyes covered ½ out of excitement and ½ because I too was freaking out. We were going to Thailand!

We are leaving Maui on Monday morning at 8:49 a.m. because we really wanted to spend an extra day with all our wedding guests. From Maui we will go to Oahu for a short 2 hour layover. From Oahu we head to Seoul Korea which is about a 10 hour flight. We layover in Seoul for about an hour and then head to Bangkok which is another five and a half hours. By the time we get to Bangkok it will be 9:10 p.m. on Tuesday night (it will be about 19+ hours once all is said and done!) We will be staying in Bangkok for one night to try to recover from what I can only assume will be an intense amount of travel. From Bangkok we will fly to Chiang Mai where we will be shuttled to the Golden Triangle for four nights. After the Golden Triangle we will go back to the Four Seasons Chiang Mai for 3 nights to explore and relax. After our 3 nights there we will head back to Bangkok for a full day and half of exploring and night life. Our trip back to Hawaii is pretty similar in route however we get stuck in Seoul for about 13 hours! Believe it or not it was actually the shortest layover we could find, so it looks like we will be exploring Seoul for the day! I still have to do some research but I heard the Namdaemun Market is worth checking out.

Now that all of our travel is confirmed I am happy to announce that our wedding registry is also LIVE! We seriously couldn’t be more excited! I was up until almost 1 a.m. on Tuesday getting everything up and running! It is certainly a newer concept and a lot less conventional but it is so perfect and fitting for us. Everyone that knows us as a couple knows that we aren’t really into the “material gift-giving” but rather big believers in “gifting experience.” Some of our best “gifts” we have gotten are the stay-cations, dinners or adventures we have planned for each other as presents. There is nothing better than an experience you will remember forever! With that being said there are so many options on the registry! Everything from accommodations to dining to adventures. Colt and I have our eye on one particular item on the registry and we are dying to see who will pick it! We just love the idea of taking each of you along with us on our honeymoon! We will be sure to capture each moment and send lots of pictures and thank you’s when we get back home.  I am attaching the Traveler’s Joy registry link below. Please take a look and let me know if you have any questions. I am sure for most of you this is the first time you are seeing this type of registry. You can also access it from our wedding website if you click on the registry tab on the right.
