We loved Thailand But..................

Please let us get home!!!!!! We are stranded in Phuket sleeping at the airport and will miss both our connecting flight:( Please let us make it home for Christmas... this is when traveling really sucks. They said we were delayed for fog but Kevin thinks it's because South Korea was doing missile testing today and North Korea said that they were going to strike back if they did. Doesn't that make you warm and fussy all over.

Oh I can't wait to get into my bed when it will happen I don't know???

love to all from a chair in Thailand airport:)

Well TJ, Cara and Mae have left us and we left Club Med on the 12th and headed off the island of Phuket to Khao Lak were all the boats leave to the Similian Islands! Kevin was going to dive the whole week but ended up with a ear infection so only made it out one day:( We stayed at the Le Meridien for 7 days it was fabulous 5 star +!! Oh ya even movie stars.....

One of the days we went on one of our last adventures to the Elephant Belly Cave & Wat Tham! Below are pictures from our day!!

Arriving at the Wat Tham the best temple we saw in Thailand by far!! It's right inside a mountian!! The monkeys wanted Simons chips he ended up dropping them to get the monkey off him;(

Patong with TJ

December 7th!!

Oh yes I did it and got home safe and sound!!

Well I don't know if most of you know this but I have known TJ longer then Kevin back in my school practicum days and the accounting firm!! I was one of the guys and treated as must and have many fond memories of my time there not the working part! Through TJ, I was lucky enough to meet Cara now of course his wife and a very good friend of mine:)

Well TJ will always be TJ and loves the night life so i willingly agreed to join him for a night out in Patong!!  We had a great time as always and I won't go into much detail because I really don't know who is following my blog at this point! But many whiskies, beers, strip clubs, message parlours, drunk phone calls to Canada, live bands and tuk tuk's later we arrived back at Club Med at 1:45pm very reasonable I thought;) 

Here are a few photo's of our adventure!!

To many drinks:)

TJ with a man girl!

I think that's all I should post!!

Thanks TJ for the memorable evening with to much education!

Love Christine

Jungle Waterfall hike and Gibbons Rehab Facility!!

December 3rd, 2010

Before getting rid of our car we decided to take one last adventure on the island and headed to the Gibbons Rehad Facility in the Northeast of phuket island. This is where they bring the monkeys to help safe them and also adopt them out to new homes! The singing the monkeys do in the jungle was stunning to hear you just can't imagine unless you hear it yourself 

Here's Simon saying to loud...

Hiking up to the waterfall!

It was so peaceful and Simon loves his adventures he wanted to find some animals I did not!!!;) Tallest waterfall in Phuket 15 meters high.

Bamboo hanging:)

Mary's turn!!

The King of Thailands birthday is December 5th and the thai people love him!! There were festivals everywhere and pictures of him hung up at resorts, beaches, street corners.etc. One December 1st while looking for Chalong night market which we found out was only open on the weekends we found a celebration at the Wat Simon and Mary were blessed at!! The first night I met up with Cara, TJ and Mae! Kohan our faithful taxi driver took me and wouldn't leave my side because Kevin told him not to:)  then on December 3rd evening Kohan, Kevin and the kids came with me!! We had a wonderful time!

Wat light up at night!

Bugs anyone??

Kohan and I the second night he bought me a bamboo stick with sticky rice in it:) It was purple??

The rides are not safe:) But when in Rome right!!!

Simon had to do what TJ did:) He also throw darts and shot air guns.... oh ya it's safe here:)
