- Made it to the beach finally! Now to begin the wonderful process of the tar-and-feather effect of alternating between sand and sea water. Ahhhh.
- Ate a Thai omlette (how often do my highlights involve food?) It was amazing. Fried omlette over rice basically. Everything's over rice. Brother, you'd love it.
- Let's talk about the water temp in the ocean here. About what you'd take a bath in. And thus far it's really shallow all the way out. We'd swim on the surface about a football field out and sort of just float there. Then occasionally we'd stand up and the water would be at our theighs and we'd say, "yep, just checking."
LOWLIGHTS
- Took an airplane to Southern Thailand. It left at like 6am and was about 20 degrees on board. Then they ran out of blankets. The high/lowlight was Blair's mini temper-tantrum when her seat didn't recline. "I'm UNCOMFORTABLE!" before passing out into a comma. Despite the rough transportation situations, we keep coming back for more.
- What we affectionately named the "Chinese water torture fan." We couldn't turn it off cause it was so miserably hot but apparently if you were in the bed next to it, it was pretty brutal. Just a big gust up and down all night.
- The girls suckered me into buying a "real" backpackers backpack when we saw some North Face ones on the black market. After the 3rd thing that broke on it in 3 days, I've determined it's not real. Luckily, I refused to throw away my little black backpack, so I'm not totally out of luck. Just out about $15.
