We Did!!
On Monday morning we went to the airport early. Thanks to Tip, Sue and Chris, we had a taxi ready and waiting for us at 5:30 AM. We arrived at the airport with tons of time to spare, so Mikey edited for a couple hours while I played solitaire on the cold airport floor. Once we arrived in Surat Thani, we took a shuttle bus to Don Sak Pier, then a 2 hour ferry ride to Koh Samui. The ferry was slow, but relaxing. Mikey and I watched rainstorms over the other islands and figured we would soon be experiencing the same... we were right! Once our ride (from Seashore Bungalows) picked us up, we were stuck in a HUGE tropical storm for the next 40 min. Our driver wasn't phased by it, he kept to 60 MPH the whole time, driving up onto sidewalks and swerving through the road. It was exciting to say the least!
Our place at Seashore Bungalows was great- secluded, quiet and very quaint. We had our own private bungalow directly on the sand with our own private deck and hammock. That day and the next we explored the area- took a LONG walk on the beach, went to Angela's Bakery for some good old American food (and baked good for me of course) and then relaxed at Roma Restaurant for Italian food and cocktails...
Without the help of Tip, its hard to get motivated to go to Thai restaurants, since we have absolutely no idea what to order!
The next morning we checked out from Seashore Bungalow and our friend Charles took us down the rode to catch a mini bus for another part of town- Chaweng. We stayed on the rickety bus for about an hour until we reached Chaweng. We finally found our destination: Montien House, at the end of an alley full of shops. The Montien House is GORGEOUS! The grounds are lush and green with "old school hawaii" style bungalows and a pool overlooking the ocean. For only $45 we get a room that would be worth at least $400 in the States! Mikey and I LOVE it here!!!

You guys looked like movie stars in our video chat! We are so glad that you are having so much fun and that our wonderful Thailand family is treating you so well! The video is fabulous, love that picture you got just for me Mikey! Christa, your writing is so great, I can't wait for more! Love you both! Love Mom & Terry
WOW! Great job of shooting and some nice editing, too! Mike, please, give that Silk Mind album a listen to and see you can use it. The present music is cool and you did a fantastic job of synching it, but IMHO, I feel it's a bit South-of-the-boarder for Thailand. Up to you, of course.
Oh, I love the pics of the beaches and we're so envious that you guys got to have so much time to spend having fun down there. We are going to miss you.
P.S. Now it's time to work on you moms & dads to make the trip - you are all more than welcome to spend some time with us.
Love,
Chris, Sue & Tiffanie Pfrang
