Vacation is hard work

Since I arrived in Thailand it has been a non-stop barrage of sightseeing, shopping, wedding-ing, and TRAVELING. Holy crap. I have been on airplanes, trains, taxis, tooke-tookes (pictured above), boats, buses, and just about everything else EXCEPT a bicycle. Boo-hoo. I think the intense schedule took its toll on me. Last night I was on the beach enjoying an orange flavored hookah when suddenly I got hit with the Montezuma’s Revenge. I did an all out sprint to my room and haven’t come out in 17 hours. In addition to a visit from Montezuma, my body completely shut down. I couldn’t get out of bed and it was extremely difficult even walking to the bathroom. Every step took an incredible effort and my skin felt like it was on fire. This is the third time I got hit with this “extreme exhaustion.” It also happened to me when I was in Poland back in August and when I was working down in Virginia in the fall of 2006. When I get home I am going to have to get this checked out, but the good news is that I am feeling a bit better and I think the worst of it is behind me. I leave for my gig in China in 48 hours. Maybe I can get some rest when I go back to work. :~
