5:21PM a front row seat to one of the waiters in heaven

So this is what paradise looks like. Sitting courtside to a sunset just a stone’s throw away from the soundtrack of rolling waves from the warm Indian Ocean.

This is as good as it gets for me. The smell of salt water. The glow of the declining sun. A breeze blown from the gods. The cadence of the tides. And sand. Oh, how I love sand.

Just give me the wife and kids and a deserted tropical island and I’m set. You can keep the people and the blackberrys and tv’s and traffic lights. I don’t need them.

After traveling this morning on the exhausting one hour flight from Bangkok, it was nice to have a couple hours to recuperate and regain my bearings. To top it all off, we even get to sleep in tomorrow morning before hopping on our charter yacht for the day in search of the white sand beaches of Ko Phi Phi island and Krabbe. It will be a particularly demanding day at the office. Lesser men would cave under these circumstances. But I will find the will to keep going. Because I really want to take more pictures with my feet in them. Maybe start a scrapbook.

But first I’m going to take a nap.
