The Sky Is Royal Blue

As sad as I was to leave Cambodia, I’m very excited for the relaxing days ahead. It’s been a busy trip so far and now it’s time to slow down just a bit. It was a long day of travel considering it was really only 2 hours of flight time! But after being in 3 airports, we gather our luggage, start the hour journey along the causeway and finally arrive at our final destination.

What a picturesque place. The sky is literally royal blue here. The water is sparkling and the grounds are a lush green, very tropical. It really looks like a picture that’s been doctored to make the colors seem brighter! It almost doesn’t seem real. My first thought is, I feel like I’m in Hawaii and the Traveling Hillbilly loves Hawaii! Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhh.

After checking in and being a given a welcome drink, I’m escorted to my room. As the desk clerk opens the door to the room, she mentions they’ve upgraded the room for me since I’m a club member. I step in and am like wow! They have provided me with a mini-suite with an amazing ocean view. I also discover I have a huge deck outside that overlooks the ocean on one side and the garden on the other. I could have a party on this deck it so big. This is the place to get the room upgrade! It is truly stunning. I feel like I’m in an oasis in the middle of the jungle. I’m instantly relaxed. Massage anyone?

Okay, I am totally jealous. Sounds stunning. Wish we could be chilling out on your deck right now! It's been a rough couple of weeks on this end. Take care of yourself. Rest so you're not sick on that plane ride home!
