Goodbye India, Hello Thailand

KT and I are leaving Bombay tonight on an 11:30pm Air India flight to Bangkok. After our 5:00am arrival we're catching a $40 10:15am Air Asia flight down to Krabi where we'll hit the water for a 45 minute long-boat ride to Railay Beach (see photo left). There're no secret maps scribbled in blood, but the journey sounds just as adventurous and the beaches will hopefully be just as beautiful.

On a related nerd note: In case you've ever tried tried dialing abroad or calling someone in the US from a foreign country, you're probably familiar with the jumble of access codes and triggers that can make this next to impossible. Trying to call RM in Thailand (from India) today I stumbled upon maybe one of the greatest traveler's online resources ever -- TimeandDate.com (use this link) -- just enter the country that you're calling from, the country and city where you're calling to, the number (or any variation of it) that you're calling, and this wonderful web app spits out the exact digits that you need to connect. It's incredible. Try it out if you want and give me a call in Mumbai, ps its a Delhi number: 9910152835.
