busy busy busy

well, sorry but it's been a while since I wrote on this blog.  We've had visitors and been keeping busy exploring Krabi with them.  Courtney came for a visit in August and we had a fabulous time. Spend 3 days shopping in Phuket as well.  I didn't want her to go home.

We had Gary's brother Mark and his son Luke visit during the September school holidays.  They were here for 10 days and did all the touristy things.

My sister's Ange & Jenni visited for 2 weeks.  Once again we did all the good touristy things.  We spend the first 5 days visiting Bangkok and then we came back here to Krabi for another 6 days.  Went way to quickly.

We have Gary's sister Kim and hubby Michael visiting at the moment.  They're heading home tomorrow :-( 

visited Koh Samui with Kim & Michael.  This was the plane we flew there and back on.  The flight was 27 minutes from Krabi to Samui and 50 minutes back.  Spent 3 days in Samui

Tourist season is just starting to kick off here in Thailand.  Traffic has been hectic.

 
We've managed to spend some quality time watching sunsets on the beach as any good retirees should.


We're heading back to BrisVegas in about 5 weeks so looking forward to catching up with everyone then.  See you soon.
