Bank Error in Your Favor . . .

Remember those Chance cards in Monopoly (the ones that every other player seems to draw more than I do), including the wonderful "Bank Error in Your Favor: Collect $$ from the Bank"? Yeah, well life just made up for my monopoly curse in a major way.

A bit of backstory: since Matt is impossible to shop for (all i really want is biking related, and thus too specific and expensive usually), my folks decided to buy Lia and I a night in a nice hotel while on our little trip as a birthday/graduation present. We decided to use this generous offer to cover 2 nights at the Koh Chang luxury resort, Aana. Their funding limit got us 2 nights in the "Delux" room, which is the cheapest one available, and we decided to treat ourselves to a 3rd night on our own dollar.

And then Fate invervened: we showed up at the resort, which exceeded our expectations from the start, and were promptly shown to a Villa with a private balcony replete with a jacuzzi. I kid you not.

Needless to say, all of our grand plans to explore the island (which is really, really beautiful) quickly changed to exclude most of the activities not contained within the "relax at the resort in our private jacuzzi" heading.

Thank you Mom & Dad, and thank you Fate. You've all truly outdone yourselves this time.

ps: Pictures of Myanmar are coming, we promise, but connections and computers are frustratingly slow on the island. The pictures will be worth the wait, we promise.
