Our Recent Adventures

After we left Koh Tao for the second time... we went to Railay Beach! We spent our day at Railay relaxing and people watching on the beach. It's amazing how much more crowded everything is in the high season. Sis and I decided to spend our last week together in Rawaii, Phuket. We were well done with all the waiting around and sitting on buses and boats. We have been fairly mellow lately just enjoying all the beauty of this little town. A few days ago we discovered this amazing beach that is nice and secluded. We went down this dirt path that is tucked away in banana trees palm trees and lots of other tropical plants. When our little motorbike couldn't go any further we parked it and hiked the rest of the way down to the beach. At the end of the hot hike we were rewarded with crystal clear water and very few people to share it with. I floated on my back in the water for a very long time. It was as peaceful as peace can be. The birds were singing the palm trees swaying and the ocean inviting. After sis leaves on the 2nd I plan to couch surf for the next month in Thailand and then get on a bus and begin my journey in Malaysia! Wahooooo! New Years party tonight.... Sis and I are going to dance like crazy!

Back in Koh Tao..

After a full day of boat and bus rides yesturday, sis and I were about to continue our journey to Bangkok when she realized she left her passport, drivers license and credit card in our hotel in Koh Tao... So we turned around. Spent the whole day today, starved on a boat and sea sick. But now we have food and our insides are no longer being sloshed around by the ocean lul'. Plans for Bangkok have thankfully been cancelled and Island hopping has continued. I went for a few dives a couple days ago, got sea sick, and the visibility wasn't great. That's ok, still having fun. I'm going to go search for a burrito. I posted some more pictures.

Two sisters on the loose in Thailand

Thailand is HOT! Not only are the massages cheap and amazing, they also come with a happy ending... our last massage therapist massaged our voluptuous breasts thoroughly, told us we were sexy and flashed us her saggy titties, as a possible invitation? Later on a HOT night out on the town a monkey jumped right into Arielle's arms... Sam screamed and backed away with true fright and worry. We spent the night swing dancing and fending off the cute boys... sometimes, some were too cute to resist. ha ha. Arielle was extra HOT dancing on stage with Thai girls and a few "Lady Boys" (They're everywhere!) In order to keep lookin' HOT we have to do some shopping which involves a lot of haggling over 50 cents. Arielle wouldn't be caught dead paying even 25 cents too much, she's a champion bargainer. I guess that's what 3 mos. in SE Asia will do to you. Every penny counts. Literally. Even when we don't want to shop we are constantly bombarded with the sound of "Saa-wa-dee-Kaaaaaaa, and massaaaaaaaage, you buy something, very good price for you." The pleading twang of solicitation rings in our ears. The HOTest place Sam and Arielle have been together is Koh Tao! There are HOT people everywhere, beach bungalows, bars on the beach, real western food, crystal clear water, familiar music such as Jack Johnson and Bob Marley, tons of snorkel and dive shops, Kayaks, and people from all over the world! This scene is happenin'! "Arielle and Sam have found a little slice of heaven. However, even in heaven these two are not immune to a heated bicker session, but as we all know one HOT fight can lead to to one great laughing session. We find that although traveling is not all fun and games, making it through each new challenge makes our relationship stronger and our laughter louder. OUr most recent taste of heaven on Koh Tao was our all day snorkel trip. As soon as we splashed into open water and looked below us... We spotted a five foot shark. We both screamed and pointed with wide eyes! "Arielle thought sis would be freaked, but Sam was as calm as a cucumber and brimming with excitement!" The snorkel trip was so HOT! that we are inspired to go one step closer to the beautiful reef and it's creatures. DIVING! Yippideedooo!!!

Ko Samui with Sis

Sis and I spent our last few days in Phuket doing some more runs, hiking out to the cape, snorkelling a bit, and racing around on the little motor bike that she claims as one of her favorite parts of the trip so far. ha ha. and of course lying on the beaches soaking up the sun. Then we got on a bus to Ko Samui and got here 2 nights ago. We've been hanging out with some english bloaks, they are pretty funny. Last night we went out and had a hillarious fun night out on the town. Lots of dancing and laughing. Oh and on the bus sis kept making me laugh til' I cried and all the Thai people would just look back at me concerned that I may not be able to breath. We have some good laughs together. After Ko Samui I think we're going to go a little farther north to Ko Tao and hopefully do some diving together... maybe sis will just be up for snorkelling, but we will see. I'm loving the life on the road... Sis is realizing she appriciates the U.S. she can't get over how disgusting the bathrooms are. Oh sis. I posted some pics of our fun, enjoy!

More Pictures!!

Sis and I have been having a wonderful time together... not much time to write now, but we will tell more about our adventures later. Sis and I screaming about big spiders, lots of sunshine, sis changing out fits 5 times a day a haha, laughing, swimming, more screaming on a motorbike, running, and more fun than you could ever imagine pretty much sums it up.. I love having her here. It is so nice to share my excitement of Thailand with someone from home. Enjoy the pictures, there will be lots more. Thanks mom for sending me that camera it's awesome!
