<span style="font-size: large;">I am counting down the days.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We head back to Thailand for the 3rd time,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">one month today.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This year we will have a car for those 4 months.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It will give us much more freedom to explore the villages </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and beaches around where we are staying in Hua Hin.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We plan to take longer road trips as well.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This year we are planning to take a side trip to Vietnam.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Who knows where else the winds </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">of travel will take us while we are there.</span></div>
