Traveling with families is either awesome or terrible. There is no in between. Toss a wedding in the mix, and the scales start tipping in the wrong direction. But just add in swingers, and everything is balanced. Confused? Don’t be. Terrified? You should be.
Evo's still sick. But finally went to the doctor. Now on lots of drugs. Yay, modern medicine and a qualified pro to guide you! Yes, even in Thailand. Sheila’s tired and hungover because her birthday was Friday and she celebrated all weekend long. Evo’s tired because he was guesting on #Geo500, which you should watch.
Ten years ago, Evo married his sister in Jamaica. As in officiated, not took-hand-in. But because of booking challenges, we had to switch properties for the last week of the long trip. So when she told us she found a good deal at an all-inclusive resort called Hedonism, we opted not to let her in on the not-well-kept-secret. Because the only thing that makes a newlywed’s unexpected stay at a swingers’ resort more awkward is being stuck there with your older brother.
[sniff] They grow up so fast.
No, we don’t have postcards to commemorate that experience, but we do have plenty from our current travels, and it’s almost time to send out our next batch, this time from Cambodia. We’d love to send you one. All you have to do is sign up and we’ll send you a handwritten postcard next month… and every month after that! If you like, we can even include a little something special from the area on your card. (No, no swinger’s hot tub flotsam and jetsam. Gross.)
