We have just strapped ourselves in ready for the ride of a lifetime - On the road to Steemfest 4 Bangkok, Thailand.
As soon as we saw the post-flash past our screens the Steemfest 4 was in Bangkok, Thailand my husband and I knew we didn't even have to discuss if we were attending...we knew it was too close to turn down. The only question was to take our 5 kids or leave them home?
We have decided to leave them behind.
don't even feel guilty about it.
It's not that they are bad travelers or little monsters we cannot take out in public. It's just traveling with so many people makes having to make plans for even the simplest tasks.
As a family of 7, we cannot fit in regular-sized vehicles. So at times that can mean two tuk-tuks or two cabs if a minivan isn't available. We would have to book additional accommodation and plan activities to keep the kids busy while we are busy and 7 tickets for everywhere we go.
Our children have each been to Bangkok many times with us living as expats in Thailands neighboring country, Cambodia. They also love it but having experienced Bankok so many times already I knew they also wouldn't feel like they were missing out.
When we asked the kids if they were interested in going as they are dabbing in the mighty blockchain themselves, they didn't really mind either way. When I suggested just mummy and daddy head off to the big smoke they excitedly cheered "yes, do it! You guys should have a holiday!"
As quick as it was unanimously decided it was adults only trip my bag couldn't have been packed quick enough! Just in case anyone changes their mind.....it's too late we are all packed!
I am not going to lie, 5 whole kid-free, responsibility-free, days away at Steemfest is just sounding better and better the more I envision it and being in..... Bangkok....shopping, massages.....I need to start putting away some pretty pennies away to treat myself while I am there.
I have a feeling I will return back to my little village in Cambodia, a brand new woman.
Those who follow me know I am a mother to 5 gorgeous kids and a kindergarten teacher. That means I am surrounded by little people 24hrs/7days.
I'll just let that sink in for a moment. 24hrs/7days.
I will have the ability to use my own two listening ears without being interrupted. I will not have to worry about what is the next feast for our small tribe. I am going to be able to walk holding my husband's hand because I will have two free. I am going to be able to take a bath for as long as I like and use the toilet without the door being flung open.
I am going to be living free as a bird and I like it!
My name is 
I am so excited and the days away seem so close yet so far away.
Is it Steemfest yet?
