From Chiang Mai we took a night train to Bangkok and then flew down to Phuket. We'll leave out our day spent in Bangkok since it was probably our least favorite place we've been to so far. Once in Phuket we had another week at a resort that was given to us as well. We had no idea how amazing it would be though. We pulled into a driveway lined with huge torches of fire and were greeted with leis and mojitos to check-in. They took us to our villa which had 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, kitchen, living room, deck...everything set in the jungle. The pools are huge with turtles and elephants shooting water, slides, etc. and it is all set on these gorgeous white sandy beaches with crystal blue water. We never stayed anywhere so nice in our lives, but could definitely get used to the high life here. :) Our backpacker nature came out quickly though, and we had to rent a motorcycle to get to town 40km away so we could buy and cook our own food. Let's just say that two people and 40 pounds of food is no easy task to drive back on a bike. We wake up in the morning to yoga and pilates classes and then enjoy a day in the sun. Sorry for all of you in winter weather at the moment! Company comes later this week as Miah's mom, Michelle, and Jaime come to join us here.
Love and sunshine to all,
TeamWander

I am very jealous of your visitors! It's sounds like Michelle and Jaime are off to a good start!
We were in Charlotte for Mike's birthday and watched the State game with some of his friends. It made me miss watching the Pack with you guys!
Great stories once again! We have a free room and an open kitchen any time you feel the urge to practice some of those newly gained cooking skills. The resort spots sound perfect, and the adventures into no-falang zone sound like a irreplaceable experience. Fun and Safe Travels
