When did I get old????

so today in Vanvieng... we decided to go tubiing.. after a great breakfast at a restaurant that showed nonstop repeats of friends (and we ended up watching 3 in a row) we decided to do tubing. Now I have to wonder when I became old. I got to the first bar and was like holy shit.. I am the oldest person here... seriously. Granted, if Jenn and Allison were here with me I am sure I would have thrown caution to the wind, grabbed on to that slingshot and thrown myself into the river (and possibly try to be "that" girl picking up an 18 year old). But instead I was like.. What the fuck.. I am the oldest one here.. and really should you be doing this.. oh my god.. you are jumping into.. watch out for that rock..... I felt very uncomfortable there, and granted if I just would have had a 2nd drink of rum with a shot of pepsi.. I would have been gold. Picture the elbow river.. thousands of tubes floating down that river.. now add bars on either side of the river "fishing" you out with ropes and bottles attached to the end to pull you in. Each bar served "bob marley coctails" and "chocolate cake" had either a rope swing, zip line or slide to head into the river.. It was quite the site.. but as 2 people have died recently from being drunk and flinging themselves off a catapolt into the shallow river.. I chose to be sober thankyou. Kirsty and Steve were right ripped today and I did promise a good bender when we hit the islands after the tour (both of them are heading to Ko Toa as well.. so it should be good fun!).

Anyhoo, we are off to Vientiene tommorrow and then to Bangkok.. wow this trip went way tooooo fast. Time stood still while I was away though... it was great. Do I have to go back to work???
