My 34th Post...the last and final one.

Wow I can't believe that this is my final post. To get you up to speed when we got back to Chiang Mai we played Songkran which is the world's largest water fight with all the SST kids, and then my mom came! We took her and Jaimie and Marit's parents around to all the fun places in Chiang Mai which was elephant riding, to meet our host parents, to walking street, to the night bazzaar, good restaurants, many temples and to meet various monks. We then headed to Phuket to do some final R and R with them. We stayed at this amazing hotel on the beach and took a boat trip to and around Koh PiPi which is famous for the movie "The Beach". We snorkeled etc. and ate as much wonderful seafood as we could handle and then we left our parents to complete Scuba school.
We flew to Koh Tao to do this and went to the most well known dive resort by lonely planet books...we actually didn't know this until we arrived. We also got placed with the head of the Scuba program to teach us open water diving. The max we can go is about 18 meters which is about 60 feet...sounds like a long way but you can barely tell haha. Marit had some issues in the beginning with being comfy underwater but by the end we were both mermaids swimming with the fish all over the island. Plus I learned a lot about scuba and all the prep that goes into it...even how to get around a reef being on the bottom. Good geography skill haha.
We left there today and took a boat to Koh Pangnan which is only an hour or so away by speed boat. We checked into our hotel where we will be meeting my dad and chris tomorrow! I am so excited to see them both and I am excited to spend my last week here with them. The resort is on the quiet side of the island and it is really peaceful here. I think Marit and I want to work up a show-off tan so I think this is a good spot to do this at.
Thank you all for reading my blog. I hope it wasn't boring and I hope you got enough information out of it for your personal enjoyment. I am looking forward to being back in the US soon and if you want to come visit or see me...please call and I will show you some more pictures of my adventure in Amazing Thailand.
Peace,
