Day Two
November 26: 9:30 am
Our first full day in Thailand. We woke up at 7 am today. I think we were the only ones. Haha Seems like most people here are not early risers. There is still no one around.
We went for breakfast across the street from our hostel. It was really good. The only other person that was there eating was a guy from Montreal, Quebec. He didn't even know about the game this Sunday! Can you believe it? But of course he knew that we lost against MTL last year, haha and he rubbed it in our faces. He is heading to Koh Phi Phi in the next few days so we may run into him. Kayla and I are going to Koh Phi Phi tomorrow afternoon.
Today we walked to the beach after breakfast. The water was fabulous. We saw a jelly fish on shore. Very gross, I'd hate to be stung by one. I'm not much into swimming anyway, so I should be okay.
In an hour a minibus is coming to pick us up and take us on a tour. We are visiting some caves by long tail boat and canoes. Also going to the James Bond island. Very excited to get going! That will take most of our day. We are going to walk around tonight and check out the nightlife tonight. Hopefully meet some cool people.
We went to the Muay Thai Boxing last night with a bunch of Aussies. They are everywhere down here.
Anyway, I will sign off with this..
GO RIDERS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Destination Reached!
I have finally arrived in Thailand!
The whole trip here I have been writing in a journal. A good way to document my trip to remember every detail. So when I find time to write on my blog it will mostly contain excrepts from my journal.
Flight #1: It was uneventful, other than being delayed out of Regina by about 45 minutes. Flying over the mountains was the best, as I love them so much.
Flight #2: This was the 13 hour flight from Vancouver to Hong Kong. Terrible! It was a really long time to be cooped up in a plane. It was very hard to sleep, especially with hundreds of other people doing their own thing. I watched a few movies, some tv shows (CSI) and discovered that I like Rascal Flatts.
Flight #3: Another uneventful flight. It took us to Bangkok, where we had to stay for 6 hours until our flight to Phuket was scheduled.
And then we finally arrived. It was around noon this morning (25th) when we arrived in Phuket. We then took a minibus to Patong Beach where we are staying in a hostel for two nights. The time change has been very hard to get a grip on, but its getting easier. I am very excited to get some real sleep tonight.
Today, Kayla and I walked around the town and did a little shopping. We planned the next two days agenda, and went to see a Muay Thai Boxing fight night. Super cool! We watched a guy from Edmonton in his first fight. He lost, but still put up a good battle.
I have used up my time on the computer and it's getting late here. Big day tomorrow, must get some sleep.
