After staying up all night because our room was crap in Bangkok and fear of oversleeping because no alarm, we make it to the airport after Kaleena scares the living day out of our taxi driver. It was funny. She was serious about getting to the airport by 6...he drove SOOOO fast we got there at 5:30...lol . The slap happy delirium started to set in and we were a sight for sore eyes laughing eating a burger from Burger King and donuts in the airport cafe...after not sleeping it sounded like a good idea. My feet felt like they were balloons. Everything was so funny. I fell asleep on the plane and didn't wake up until an hour 1/2 later when we exited.
Arrived in Karabi and our driver was waiting for us to take us to our hotel. We pull up to this extravagant building that looks like a tourist site. Our hotel was on the side, but it was still very nice. We walk into the room and are very excited, in comparison to our last room we are in a bit of shock. White netting over the beds and a balcony. Everything is clean with beautiful tile and wood working. I thought the woman had left and I started doing jumping jacks, she walked in and laughed at my excitement.
After unpacking our things we headed downtown in a tuk tuk for some food and relaxing. The beach was to our right and soo beautiful!! Kaleena got green curry and I made the mistake of getting jungle curry...it was SOOOO spicy with weird jungle plants in it. After dinner we walked around and went down and sat by the beach. The stars were amazing. I hadn't seen that many stars in such a long time. The moon shimmered off the ocean. It was picture perfect. We sat a while and a Thai man came up and sat with us. At first I was a little apprehensive, but he just wanted to talk. He told us about his brothers, one of which was caught in the tsunami and the other who lost a leg. It was interesting listening to him but we had end the conversation after a while. We had an early morning going out to the jungle for kayaking and elephant trekking....our first night sleeping in our comfortable quite room in our clean wonderful beds.....
