Lastly, they began their annual roadtrip from Las Vegas to Palm Springs for Anne's concert there. After their visit to Cane's for chicken, they stopped at the grocery for food/drinks for the house in Palm Springs and Anne had an unfortunate bathroom issue that you have to hear to believe. Finally, after a beautiful drive across the desert, they arrived at a house that was loaned to them by their friend Cindy and it was absolute perfection! They had dinner with friends, lunch at the house, an interesting tech rehearsal where everyone was decorating for Christmas and then finally an amazing show by Anne and her MD Nate Buccieri. Then it was Sunday Funday where they started at a sports bar watching the Packers play, then went out with the Thailand crew for cocktails and a tea dance.

Next, they took a trishaw tour of Chiang Mai and Anne's driver was very old and skinny so other drivers where helping push her cart along. The following day they headed to Patara Elephant Farm & Sanctuary.

After that day they went to a Night Market where they shopped for gifts and then they went to a Cabaret Show that was filled with gorgeous drag queens with fab costumes and lots of choreography and backup dancers! Finally they had a full crafty day starting with indigo tie dying, painting traditional Thai umbrellas and ending with a cooking class where they made their own 4 course dinner.

Lastly, they talk about their final leg of the trip that ended in Phuket at their favorite hotel The Slate. Every guest traveling with them had their own pool suite which means a private backyard with a big plunge pool, and outdoor bathtub, lounge chairs, a couch and a table and chairs. It is a magical place. In Phuket they spent one day on a speed boat traveling to an island where they kayaked through caves, went swimming, visited James Bond Island where one of the movies was filmed and had more Chang beer on the beach. Another day they shopped in Old Town Phuket and took a sunset cruise on a luxury catamaran. The rest of the trip was spent relaxing at the resort and enjoying one more day at the spa. Now they are home recovering from jetlag before they head out on another Celebrity Cruise where Anne is performing!
