The finish line is InSight.

As of 3:30pm yesterday, I am done with the major part of my project. I put the finishing touches on my multimedia story and preview and exported it all. Then I spent about 5 hours alternating between the sea and the pool with a bunch of other people. My muscles feel loose and relaxed now, but I'm also really tired from all the swimming. So that means I'm going to try to get a massage today ;)

Today I need to finish my sidebar content (extra related stuff that will be on the page with my story). I also want to go into town, finish my souvenir shopping, and get a massage. Hopefully I can go to Charissa's screening of the Canon kids project...that's the thing I went to a few days ago at a school. Charissa combined all the kids' photos and photos of the kids working into a multimedia story, which will also be on the website. Everyone is going to the school at 4pm today for a big showing and party.

I can't believe I have less than a week left here. It feels like it has gone by so fast...but when I think back to the first night when we arrived at the resort, it seems like so long ago. I've been thinking lately about changing my flight so I can travel to Bangkok and Chiang Mai with some other people in the group, but I still haven't made up my mind. That decision is also on my To Do list today.

If I am in fact leaving on the 18th as planned, then my goals are:

• Ride an elephant
• Find a nice souvenir for myself to remember my time here (Thank you Grandma and Aunt Linda)
• Go to the outdoor market (exotic foods and such)
• Take photos for myself
• Go back to Phuket to give the blind masseurs a CD of the audio from the story and a CD of American music
• Give a CD of American rock music to my translator, Num
• Bring a big group of people to Num's bar
  
• Get a Thai massage
• Spend every spare minute on the beach and in the water

Well, that's a long list of things to do on top of the work I still have to do...I better get started!!

p.s.: There is not a typo in the title. You will understand it in about one week.
