Tomorrow is unknown

I have a ticket to leave the island tomorrow morning at 6am. I do not know if my ferry boat will actually leave but now I am starting to think, maybe I should stay?

I have been traveling for 3 days and still have not reached my destination. I don't know what to do. If I leave tomorrow I can travel with Beth to Chiang Mai and this will mean 2 more days of travel but at least I will get to see Chiang Mai.
If I stay I know I can get to one place with Jenny that does yoga, Ananda yoga. It isn't my practice but, it's something. Also if I stay, there is still a chance for me to reach the beach where my course is... but there is also a chance I cannot. Also, also the weather is calling for rain for at least the next 4 days. Some say 10 days, some say 2 days. This rain is atypical for this time of year and has brought many things to a hault.

No matter what I do I need to either be traveling to the next place or relax here and stop being in travel mode because a fourth day of travel without going anywhere might just push my mellow spirit over the edge. Luckily I have made good travel friends. There is that.

  1. Hi Liza. I'm following when I can and enjoying it a lot. It sounds like you are having a great time...mostly, aside from the irregularity--sorry about that :) Nice you're in Thailand while you're so close! So, this last post "Tomorrow is unknown", has left the song "Should I Stay Or Should I Go" (The Clash), hoplessly stuck in my head for the remainder of the day......thanks you...

  3. They ended up calling it a state of emergency (after we'd gotten off the island) and shut down all the ferry's. The military came to get people off the island, there were 1,000 people waiting to go and only room for 200. Plus my friend practicing yoga where I was trying to go said the walk to the shala is dangerous and a man in the course's bungalow washed into the sea. I cannot begin to tell you how happy I am we got off the island when we did.
