Rebecca Zelanin: Artist, Actress, Traveler

*Preliminary Aside* The inspiration for this blog came as I sat on the beach morning after morning waiting for the sunrise. Sitting on the beach with just the sound of the wind and the waves for company I had time to reflect on what brought me to this place at this tim...

So how do you know if you would actually enjoy staying in one place for an extended period of time?
Well . . .
You stay in one place for an extended period of time.
Tom’s version of “THE DREAM” (as in “Livin’ the Dream”):
I wake up to the sunshine wafting through the g...

Patong Beach is known as one of the best party towns in Thailand. It also has a great beach. We decided to hang for a week in Patong, not to party but because we found a quiet hotel just a block off the beach.
*Aside* We also figured where there are lots of tourists th...

So after our adventures in pet sitting with Rosie in Kuala Lumpur we realized that it’s much nicer when someone comes into our room each day to change the sheets, make the bed, bring us fresh towels and leave us some bottled water. It hasn’t taken us long to get spoile...

*Aside Title*The Conundrum: How do you put what you don’t know exists into your dream?

Bali is a small island: 3951 square miles. To put this in perspective Bali is only bigger than Rhode Island. You could almost put three Balis in Connecticut, so, it’s small. If you...

*Aside Title* All About Me - So You Know It Will be LONG. It also may take a bit to load as there are LOTS of pictures!!

So Tom and I split up. Wait! Before you panic it’s not permanent, just for the next eight days. Tom is going to Padang Bai to dive while I go to Ubud...

I am in Bali

(Well not quite just yet!}

I was going to take a couple days off from blogging. After all we had been in Kuala Lumpur before. This time we only had two days there, so probably there wasn’t going to be much to write about. Then we had such a good time, I have...
