Hey everybody, I finally made it here. let me tell you after the motorcycle taxi I took in the city im glad im alive. They were so careless it was great. He squeezes in between cars, on the sidewalk, on the wrong side of the road. I really thought I was gonna die. It was awesome. I for a brief moment wanted a motorcycle of my own. (Still your heart Jordy..) Then I realized I couldnt drive liek that in Toronto, and I forgot all about it. Plus I love my bycycle. We drove all night but were finally here. While everyone else was sleeping I enjoyed the beach. By enjoyed I mean burned!!! All over. It really hurts. The funny thing is between me and Natalie Im the only one who wears sunscreen and Im ... read more

Been in Koh Samui now for the past few days. Have been enjoying some relaxation on the beach and going out and about in Chaweng. We decided to do some of the East Coast before heading to Cambodia, as we fancied a break from the cities for a while. Really glad that we did as we've had a great time here. Nothing too exciting to report really, as we have quite literally been chilling out on the beach since arriving. We're staying in Chaweng in a hut positioned on the beach front. Very basic but all that you need with such a lovely beach view outside the front door. A cold shower though, which was actually quite a relief from the humidity. Since being here we have been eaten alive by mosquitos and sand flies- have ... read more

We just wanted to let everybody know that the previous days pictures have been updated so be sure and check them out. Well today we are off to Ko Pha Ngan. We have a combo bus boat ticket and we leave at noon. Hopefully this place will be a little less party oriented and a little more culture oriented. And yes today we did go to Starbucks and the coffee was good but a little different. We will try not to repeat this deed but we had to try it once. Till next time. ... read more

Hello All, Sorry we have not updated our journal lately, we are having too much fun to stop and reflect. We are going to skip a few days and tell you about our adventures in the Islands, but we will go back to our last few days in Bangkok at a latter date. We arrived in Ko Samui yesterday after a 12 hour night train ride, where we both had private sleeping bunks, and a 3 hour boat ride. Upon arrival to Ko Samui we had not booked a hotel in hopes that we could find a nice place when we got there. On the boat a man approached us with hotel recommendations and taxi service. Normally we would have told him to move on, since this is a regular occurrence in Thailand, but since the ... read more

What day is it? A few days ago Sarah was convinced it was probably Friday or Saturday and I thought it was Saturday or Sunday but it might have been Friday - there was an even smaller chance it could have been Monday. But we weren't quite sure. Life on an Island Paradise Fortunately life on our island paradise is living up to expectations. It's warm and sticky, sunny during the days, the food's good and you can get an hour-long massage on the beach for just under 3 Pounds. Some of our day-to-day conundrums involve what to have for breakfast, and whether to lie on a beach towel or sarong during sunbathing sessions. Recently I've opted for the towel, but I think I'm going to go back to the sarong. You just get that little ... read more

Well Amanda has shown me how I can write on here myself, so I'll give it a try.... Today we rented motorbikes each for the day and it was quite the adventure. Amanda's bike wouldn't start and Jaimie had a little crash at the start but other than that it was pretty funny! So there we are in our bikinis just driving along the highway lookin out for scary drivers when it starts pouring rain, it was pretty fun. We went to this beach where there is the Grandfather rock ( which is pretty much a sculpted rock of a man's equipment ) and the Grandmother rock ( use your imagination...) We went for a little swim and headed back to the rooms. It's still pretty cheap here, but not as cheap as Railey. In two ... read more
