interesting traveling half way round the world sleeping most of the way and walking off of the plane in the middle of the day when it should be night

today we flew from koh samui to phuket, the samui airport is lovely, its like a little open air shopping village.

the flight was a little scary we had to land in heavy rain, we had blue fingers from gripping the seat so hard.
first night we stayed at the sawasdee village in kata beach, this hotel is stunning the decoration was wonde...

The following day Victor was able to get a room in my hostel & we decided to go to Nai Harn Beach for the day. We both liked it more than Kata. We ate Pad Thai (you just have to when you're in Thailand) just off the beach under a palapa (are they palapas in Thailand or just in the Caribbean?). It was actually pretty noisy as it was the 4th d...

I reckon this is probably the longest I've EVER left you without an update and as I've recently climbed onto a more positive track I thought it best to throw one up now while the going's good, or at least better. Since getting my teaching qualification in January things have been touch and go health wise. For those who are just tuning in I've ha...

Dear P, Let me make something very clear. I'm not one of those people who gets down about life and gets all whiny and victim-y and talks about suicide. I actually have no time for those people. Rest assured. Now if I've mentioned suicide before it has been a light-hearted comment to reflect a better option than to go through all of this excrucia...

We decided to make the best of our location and head out for some snorkeling. Most of us hadn't done this before so we pretty much knew there was going to be some accidents. In Thailand if you pick a tour with a time from start to end you must know right now that its pretty much worthless. They never pick you up on time and the tour always ends ...

Hope everything is going well with you; we are searching for Shangri-La and a good steak. In Singapore we stayed at a Backpacker motel cost us $30 per night for one room with air, toilets/bathrooms down the hall. Free continental breakfast toast and coffee or tea, you have to make it yourself and wash up afterwards. My long hair was turning Afro...

Hi, Listen, I know it's been a long time, and I'm really sorry. I guess we knew this would be difficult, and had warned one another innumerable times prior. Perhaps "innumerable" proved insufficient. In any case, I just wanted to let you know that I'm here, and that I miss you. I can't be dishonest: I don't think of you as often as I used to. Th...

Shane says: Today I almost died. On my birthday. No kidding. Drowned on a boat out at sea. Almost. We took a trip today to go to the famous Maya Bay on Phi Phi Lei - the smaller sister island to the one we are staying on, Ph Phi Lei is uninhabited and Maya bay is where they filmed the movie the beach. We left on the boat at 2:30pm, and the boat ...
