Itchy Feet
By Ubertramp • Sep 30th, 2008 • Category: Latest Post, Recent Posts, Southeast Asia, ThailandAll this diving around, and living on, a dainty, tropical island is slowly taking its toll. Maybe it’s a subtle case of island fatigue, maybe I’m experiencing what the go-getting, high fliers describe as ‘burn out’ but, more likely is the case, I’m just being over dramatic and looking for an excuse to wander around a bit for a few weeks. In short, I’m taking a holiday from the current long holiday. I’m going to Penang for a curry and a Guinness.
I’ve got two weeks to return before the dive shop sends out a search party so, unless the curry happens to be about the same size as a 3 story town house in Winchester (and gets washed down with enough Guinness to fill Micheal Barrymore’s swimming pool), I’m banking on having sufficient post-curry time to visit a few other places as I wend my way back to Phi Phi. But let’s be honest here, either way I can’t lose.
So, the plan as it stands: Head straight to Penang, gorge on curry, see some stuff on the way back up to Phi Phi. And why not?

Man Nath, it is about time you published something again. I have been checking this site so many times to read that same article about being at the beach that I am going bonkers. haha. Just kidding. It is good to hear from you again.
I suppose drinking beer and swimming with the fishes really is more enjoyable than blogging, no matter how much I do not want to believe it haha.
Have fun,
Wade
Hey Wade - lol. yeah, I know - but there are always so many other things that need to be done, too! Soon, I promise…
Take care man, and keep rollong out the posts.
The Vagabond Journey just gets better and better!
What?!?
Other things to do besides blogging?
Have you gone bonkers?
Are you crazy?
Are there really other things to do besides sitting in a dark room writing and publishing a website for five hours a day?!?
Is this possible?
No Way.
For the sake of Vagabond Journey.com, I must not believe your statement and attempt to commit you to the looney bin for travelers, as your words are dangerous!
hehehe.
Just joking.
Have fun,
Wade
