Why I'm Going to Thailand | Visiting My Daughter, Grandson & Exploring Phuket
This trip is about so much more than traveling halfway around the world. For the first time, I'm traveling to Phuket, Thailand to spend time with my daughter, who teaches school there, and my sweet grandson, who is celebrating his 6th birthday on August 14th! ❤️ I'll be staying in Thailand from July 31 through August 16, and while my daughter is teaching during the day, I'll be spending lots of time with my grandson and exploring beautiful Phuket. But I also have another mission... I'm turning this trip into a resource for YOU. I'll be visiting popular tourist attractions, local markets, beaches, restaurants, temples, transportation options, shopping areas, and hidden gems while answering the questions travelers are searching for on YouTube and Google.

See why I am trading solo cruising for a special family trip to Thailand. I am taking a short break from my regular programming on Solo Cruising and More to fulfill some important grandmotherly duties. This video explains my upcoming plans and why I will be offline while I head to Phuket for a family visit. If you follow my channel for solo travel vlogs, you will notice a brief change in my posting schedule while I am away.
