Not Coming Home

Jaisalmer blog later...

Now, Thailand! aka the best place ever. The overnight flight here sucked. I had trouble sleeping on the plane. But we got here OK and spent our first night in Phuket before we took the boat out to the islands. I don't know if it's because we came from India where it's 24/7 chaos (mostly in a good way), but Thailand seems so relaxing! It's clean and quiet and we had no trouble finding where we needed to go. We checked into our hotel (which cost about $10 each!) did some shopping around town.

Then, we found the best place ever for dinner. We were so caught up with how cheap everything was that we ordered half the menu. I had a pineapple daiquiri, organic crab salad with creamy balsamic dressing, steamed sea bass, a glass of wine and Katy and I shared mango creme brulee and coconut custard for dessert...and all of that was under $30!! All SO good! It was a really good meal, but I think it was even better after 2 weeks of heavy Indian food. I've been wanting a light meal so bad but you just can't find it in Indian. And as much as I love Indian food, it got to be too heavy after awhile. Not that our dinner was particularly "light" with all the food we ordered, but it was an improvement. The restaurant also was decorated well and the bathroom smelled like flowers and heaven.

Today we got breakfast and then took the ferry to Ko Phi Phi Island. I'm sorry, but I'm going to stay here forever. The town is so cute, everyone is so nice, everything involves coconut, the beaches are amazing, my villa has HBO, the food is amazing (and cheap) and you can get an hour massage for about $4. WHY would I leave? I don't even need to write blogs while I'm here because I have a feeling every day will go something like this: sleep in, go lay on an amazing beach, eat some fresh pineapple on a stick, lay on the beach some more, eat delicious thai food, get a massage or body scrub, rest, eat more delicious thai food, maybe drink some delicious thai beer, go to sleep. NEVER LEAVING!!

Oh, but good thing the nice woman giving me my $5 pedicure today told us that they're testing the Tsunami alarm in the morning. That would have FREAKED me out!

Maybe I'll write blogs while I'm here, maybe not. I may be too busy getting pampered in various ways, laying out, and eating. Sorry Jackie, but you might have one fat bridesmaid in September...IF I come home.
