Who loves baby animals?
Do you want to go on a fabulous trip? Thailand may be your ticket. Thailand is located in both eastern and northern hemispheres, positioned in Southeast Asia. Thailand is bordered by the Andaman Sea, Gulf of Thailand, Indian Ocean and the countries of Burma (Myanmar), Laos, Cambodia, and Malaysia.
Within Thailand there are so many diverse areas, you can stay a month and not see them all. If you would like to see, visit with the baby elephants seen on social media you will want to visit Chiang Mai, referred to as "the rose of the north". It sits in Northern Thailand, approximately 435 miles north of the capitol city of Bangkok. Chiang Mai is the second largest city in Thailand.
When we visited it was so lush and green, it was a quiet piece of heaven away from the bustling city of Bangkok. So many treasures to see and so much to do. No trip to Thailand is complete without a visit to Chiang Mai.
There are many elephant camps to see and visit, a lot of them are trying to "humanely" have elephant encounters that help the tourist see and interact with the elephants, at the same time help care for these beautiful animals. They are not all the same!
here are some pictures from some of them:

Here are some from when we went to an elephant camp:
Elephants are amazing animals! When you are getting to know your elephant they form a sort of bond with you. During the "elephant trek" if you are falling off or you are nervous the elephants tuck their ears into your legs. They will not allow you to fall off! I did not like the elephant trekking, I would have been happy to just see them and give them their baths. I took the ride because How often are you going to go on an elephant ride?
It was not that long, but felt like the entire day! After the trek you come back and give your elephant a bath. It is another time the elephants bond with you. It was fantastic! They really love you back!
Have you been on a trip to Thailand?
Here are some other pictures from our trip.
Wat Rong Khun : The White Temple
http://www.booking.com/?aid=949129
From the White Temple area Each of the thousands of tin ornaments hanging from these trees had hand written personal notes on them
This is in Chiang Rai it is a place where the White temple is and it is something to see, scary from some angles.
The market, which looks like every other market you see while traveling.
Bangkok is an entirely different place than Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai. If you are visiting Thailand make sure you leave time to visit these two beautiful and diverse areas.
Some of the pictures were taken from google images and belong to the original photographers.

What a Week!
I would rather be traveling this week for sure! I had such a week, don't want to re-live it again! Tiny bit of background; I had surgery in my mouth 5 weeks ago. Had bone grafts and lots of stitches. I have excellent Dentists. But my incision and graft got infected. ( I was sick and coughed and it opened up) So we have been trying to have it heal.No good, not healing! Yesterday went in for a re-do. They did skin grafts from the roof of my mouth to help with the healing process. (it was open and the tissue is to thin to cover it)
In the meantime I am in so much pain I can not think clearly! I send out 2 constant contact notices reminding everyone to turn their clocks BACK! The funny thing about that is I was just talking about how the internet is full of Cher reminding people to Turn Back time and how is Spring and the time goes FORWARD!
So I am feeling discouraged and embarrassed and I am afraid that my perspective clients will think " she can't even keep straight the time change how is she going to help me with my vacation plans?"
What's even worse is my husband's business also got the honor of having me send out a weird constant contact reminding the same thing and asking if people needed help. Which we go and change the time in electronic door releases in Tele-Entry systems and change the time in Alarms for entry systems. But it sounded off and ridiculous!
I have done lots of quirky things in the last few weeks! Hopefully I will heal this time and no more wrong season emails!
So I am curious, if anyone reads this. What would you think if you got a notice from a company that was off season like that? Would it change your mind about ever doing business or make you question your doing business with the company? Or would it be chalked up to just a funny oh my gosh! ?
I really would love to hear what you would think!
On to traveling.......
We are getting ready to go to Disney for a few days. They have changed a few things since we were there 2 years ago.
You can now check in on line, you don't have to wait in line to check in anymore at the Disney hotels. It is nice because everything is all set for you, if you are getting there and the room is ready you have faster access to your room. This is great after traveling all day if you are from a distance away.
They also do not have non-expiration park tickets anymore! I am not sure how I feel about this. We used to buy 10 day passes and keep them for years! Now you pay as you go. The old passes will still be honored but they will not be selling anymore as of February 22, 2016.
How do you feel about the park pass change? Do you buy passes before you go to Disney or do you wait and this won't matter one way or the other?
The correct instructions ^
I want to turn back time and have a redo with this week, but I can't do that.
Hope you had a better week thank me! I would have told you all about the rest of it but I think there is such a thing as TMI.

What Not To Miss in New Hampshire
There are so many great things to do in New Hampshire while on a visit. It will be hard to keep it to a Top 10 list but I am going to try!
Driving through the kangamangus highway you are sure to see signs that will bring you to all kinds of places that you have to stop in and see. The Kancamagus Highway is something to see and drive! You cannot miss it!
You will drive through The White Mountain National Forest, New Hampshire's foliage during the fall is spectacular here. There are many falls and rivers along the way. My family has driven this highway for over 25 years. You can see moose if you are really lucky. There are so many hikes you can do in New Hampshire, it is hard to pick just one. Mount Monadnock brings over a hundred thousand people every year to climb you can come and join them!
Do you want to see moose? Drive down "Moose Alley"you will find it along route 3 in Pittsburg and stop and see all the moose you want to see. Follow this route to the Canadian boarder.Please drive carefully as there are lots of collisions with these beautiful animals, don't be one of them.
Did someone say covered bridge? There are covered bridges to walk through and see in New Hampshire! Great photo opportunity and lots of fun.
The first railway to climb a mountain, see the Mount Washington Cog Railway built in 1869.
