Phuket

…just to name a few (number) of cities we’ve yet to visit and intend to explore in the coming years, God willing. While we usually extend some long work weeks into the weekend, most will require a lot more time spent traveling en route and back than what I can realistically do (I have another realm – day job – must remember). So many times we just don’t have the time to expend on leisure travel alone, so we must combine work and leisure travel together as much as possible, whenever possible.

To Check Off My To-Do List
That said, taking a mini-break won’t cut it, not for these locations. It’s my absolute dream to check off these cities in my “wanderlusting” to-do list. More importantly would be to completely immerse myself into the local culture, sampling the local foods, customs, language [dialects], social mores and values with the least amount of impact of my “westernized views,” without burdening or offending locals.
