Let me backtrack a little and tell you my whereabouts. We're in Ao Nang (which is on the coast near Karabi). It was quite an adventure getting here. We flew from Bangkok to Phuket yesterday, then took a cab to the local bus station (after asking 10 people), got onto the local bus (no one spoke English), took a bus to Karabi (2.5 hrs). Thank god a local told us "go go you're stop here, go". Then took a taxi to Ao Nang. Sorry for the super run on sentence. It's gorgeous here, the limestone structures are amazing. It truely does look like "The Beach". Today, heading to Ko Phi Phi (google it if you've never seen pics)
Ok, so by golly you're American. Along our travels we've been meeting people from around the world like Australia, England, Chile, Germany, Israel, Canada but no Americans. This doesn't shock me the slightest bit. It does shock the people we meet though. "You're American?! But Americans don't travel". It's quite sad that we come from a country of so much freedom, resources however we limit ourselves. Don't get me wrong American is beautiful and there is tons to see. I highly recommend you renew your passports (or get one) and pick a destination and go! You're 401K will be there when you get back, or at least some it. So will your job and all the luxuries America has to offer. This is just a observation I had.
ps don't assume Canadians are American, they get pretty offended when you say that.
pps Who are the Skins playing on Sunday?

Easy win for you guys =).
i agree americans don't travel nearly as much as the rest of the world. i think some of it has to do with the short vacation time we get here! european counties as well, as all the other countries in the world, get tons of vacay time. our country is just way to uptight and it's all about work, work, work.
I luv your blog margs! this sounds like a trip of a lifetime! i hope you guys have many more adventures and live it up while you're in thailand...india will be a tad different :)
(can't believe what happened to our boys...it was a very sad day)
