So, our mate Danielle, being the extreme organised girl she is has gotten us up at 4am to board a 7am flight… So in America you’re only supposed to be at the airport about 60mins before your flight, and the strip in Vegas is 10 mins away from the airport, so naturally, we were waiting…. And waiting… and waiting at the airport, when we could have been sleeping… and sleeping… Again, Michael Cox aka Deborah Cox was in a bad mood; wouldn’t you be with only 3 hours’ worth of sleep? So the insults are being hurled at all of us from left right and centre. Actually, come to think of it, yesterday Michael spent the whole day alone, because he slept in till noon, and yet he was still cranky during the night… HAHA, you ... read more

We’ve been up since 3:30am to get back to LA… I LOVED Chicago, so am not too keen to leave this amazing city to head back to the Los Angeles… Everything was so neat, the structure of the city, the rail network, even the streets were immaculate, not what I had expected from Chicago at all. The people were amazing; they’d conjure up a conversation with us no matter where we were, as though we were their neighbours. The weather wasn’t too bad, yet I still managed to get badly burnt? I very rarely get burnt, it’s a once in a 4 year occasion and of all places to get burnt it was Chicago. Michael shopped a lot; I didn’t buy one thing, even though the shopping is really good. I’m not a fan of the ... read more

So, we just arrived in Krabi after 4 nights in PhiPhi (P.P) Island; I thought we’d be back into civilization but Krabi is actually a rainforest/rural area, (almost like Cairns). I was expecting something more like Phuket, but I actually now remember when I booked this vacation we wanted something along these lines, whoops. PhiPhi was lovely, which is more than what I can say for our ‘luxury’ accommodation; there was sand EVERYWHERE in the hotel, so much bloody sand! I can barely tolerate sand when I am at the beach, let alone have it follow me to my bed! Besides this minor hiccup, the actual Island itself was paradise. You could walk around the islands and markets within 45 minutes and be back to where you started. The water literally sparkles and the green mountains ... read more

Today is day 3 in Phuket and the sun is about to set, which means drinking cocktails out of fruit on the beach!  Everyone is complaining about the Novotel here, because we’ve just stepped down from the Sheriton in Bangkok, but to me it’s pretty still pretty amazing! Phuket is amazing! The Thai culture isn’t as strong here, which is a little disappointing, but the feel of this place is much more relaxing! Day one was party night, we grabbed a few cocktails off the streets for less than 4AUD dollars, and they were absolutely lethal, they are very generous with their alcoholic servings here, nothing like home! We went to a few clubs, and were looking for a club that actually did not exist! One club had a lady boy show on, and as ... read more

So Day One in Thailand was a little stressful, but yet for me, everything is stressful! Our Qantas flight was delayed an hour and a half, but it was well worth it! The staff went off, I made friends with some Thai flight attendant and he ensured I got my fair share of alcoholic beverages, amazing! Once we arrived, the city was so humid and very warm for 1am! Our driver's car didn’t have a speed o that worked, infact there are hardly any speed signs around this country. I am also very sure the drivers here make up the lanes and ignore all forms of road rules. HAHA, We are staying at the Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit hotel, the breakfast, the beds and the pool are of the best caliber, IRONIC since the actual city is ... read more
