Whats Happening....

Kev and I leave January 4th to begin our amazing journey around the world! We will begin in Bangkok Thailaand where we will explore Bankok and then venture out and island hop, ride some elephants, lay with tigers, and ride some ziplines through the mountains! We have gotten some great recomednations from many of you, thanks so much for all your help.



After a lovely three weeks in Thailand, we continue on to Oz! We arrive in Sydney on January 25th...we have a working visa that is valid for 1 year so for now our plan is up in the air! We will find a job, place to live, learn the aussy way of life, travel, and of course learn to surf! If anyone is up for the long flight over we would love some visitors!

Day 2 Bangkok January 7th

For some reason this never got posted....really throws everything off and out of order, sorry! this was way back in the beginning about 4 weeks ago but good pics so here you go!

Started off the day with my a great meal, yogurt with fruit and granola ( yummy!) then went sightseeing. We took a tuk tuk to all the temples as you will see below. We got to see the entire city of bangkok. It was very hot though, we had to dress in long pants, t shirts and sneakers when going to the temples ahhhhh. After sightseeing we came back to Khao San Roads and did some more shopping, got some lunch, and planned out trip for Monday (today) to go to the floating markets. We decided to go a little o the edge and we got the dead skin taken off our feet by fish...see below for the photo....

We had another amazing dinner with a great mojito and ended the night with another foot message. Best message so far!

  2. Great photos of Big Buddha and Temples...you guys are really making some tracks!! How funny are the fish spas. Glad the Buddha's keeping you lucky! Catching Australia Day at Darling certainly was.Sounds like you found a great spot on the Gold Coast. Bet you're catchin' some great tunes! As you think about moving north to dive, consider Airlie Beach (Hog's Breath)/Whitsunday Islands. Just georgeous. Also, Heron Island Preserve. Simply suggestions. The White Pointers (Great Whites)can't get into the reefs...they instinctively know they'll rip their bellies open. Reef sharks okay...just don't carry any bait or wear anything shiny (jewelry.) Til then, have a Seriously Cool time at Surfers.' Love the photos....Mimi
