Nice Balance

I have a pretty good idea of how my time will be spent in Thailand. The great thing about the massage training is that there are some good and well known schools there with a variety of schedules and training. Most schools that teach Thai Massage classes are Monday to Friday for 6 hours per day. The other course have off type schedules even some on weekends. I am searching out one Thai Massage teacher to work with. If I am able to study with him I will fit the other courses/schools around that. Altogether, I am taking about 120hrs of massage training with half of that for Nuad Bo-Rarn.

The cooking courses that I am interested in are full days, picking up from your guesthouse or hotel around 8:30am returning you about 5pm. My intent is to take 3 or 4 of these and I feel good about the two schools that I've selected (which operates 7 days per week) out of the many that I've found. These cooking classes will fit in between my massage studies schedule. Even though I will have my itinerary laid out I know I have to be open. So in that spirit I'll use the plan as a guide and trust the gifts along the path!

One of my adventure highlights takes place during the full moon (November 2nd). So whatever I am doing can fit around this. It is the Full-Moon White Water River Rafting trip. They have two trips. The first trip starts the day before the full moon and the second the day of. You river raft during the day, stop for dinner and relaxation and another several hours at night under the moonlight. I am really drawn to do this. I did do a rafting trip about 20 years ago and often talk about it over the years how I so much wanted to experience that again, well now I have an extra special opportunity. I am all over it!!!

I will be doing some other connecting to nature type thing, hitting up the Night Bazaar, and of course getting lots of Bodywork done. In this journey, I will be traveling alone. There has been a lot of planning so far. In the months to come the preparation is taking place and six months will be here before you know it. That is why we always want to be present and experience each moment for that is what adds to the quality of your life!
