Oh, the trip I've had...


I cannot tell you what an amazing trip I had. The locals, food, sights, and traveling companions were all completely wonderful.

We started off on December 26th at 4:50am. We drove to Narita airport and boarded our plane to Bangkok Thailand. We saw temples and shrines and ate great food. Went shopping and had traditional Thai massages. It was glorious. Here are some pics from that portion of my trip...

This is the theater where we saw King Kong. We got to sit in electronically reclining, cushy seats. We also got blanks, pillows, and socks to make the experience more relaxing and comfortable.

This is at one of the temples we visited.

After a couple days in Bangkok (like the song, but we added a couple nights to our stay). We headed off to Koh Chang island. This island is just a 45 min ferry ride off the coast of Thailand by Trat. It's gorgeous.

We island hopped, snorkled, elephant trekked, laid in the sun, swam, shopped and ate dinner on the beach. It was warm, sunny, and beautiful. The sunsets were incredible.

Not our boat, but our boat for the snorkling was similar.

This was our spot of the beach. This stretch of the island was called "White Sand Beach"

After spending New Years Eve on the island and enjoying the sun a little more we were off to Taipei, Taiwan. A bit chilly, but a lot of fun to see.

This is basically the changing of the gaurds at a memorial. Sorry for the one picture from Taiwan. I only have one picture uploaded. I'll get more on here though.

Hope you enjoy the pics.

I miss you all and I'll see you in April.
