9 February - Cruising the Gulf of Thailand

-

Nothing much to report… except mani, pedi, hair cut and color… and of course eating and walking!!!!

Cut and color turned out great… Except this guy couldn’t dry my hair either… very Kenny-esque (hair dresser is Carmel)

Dinner with Conny and Joseph at Polo Grill. Prime Rib, creamed spinach and horseradish!!!! Oh and a Negroni… and some wine :)

The next stop Sihanoukville, Cambodia

Apple Store… why not… new watch bands and some tech advice for Nancy’s watch… Public Art….  As my sister Jeanne told me… we should all stand next to Elephants… it makes my ass look smaller… so we stood next to 3!!!
