Yay!
So jenni made it safe and sound here in bangkok - i went to pick her up at the airport - her flight landed early and i thought i missed her! so i waited, and waited, and waited and waited and then i really forsure thought id missed her but sure enough, she walked through the international arrivals gate 45min after her plane landed! phew! i shed some tears of happiness and off we went.
day 1 - jenn and i wandered around bangkok a bit. tried to take a tuktuk to siam square - shopping centre but i had to argue with him about price and stopping (cuz they will stop and want you to buy stuff from gem shops and tailors and stuff but i didnt want that) so we ended up getting out of the tuk tuk. caught a meter taxi and he said '100 baht to siam square' and then i had to argue with him about turning on his meter (cuz generally they will charge you more if they just give you a set price rather then what it costs on the meter) and he wouldnt so we got out and caught another cab. this one turned on his meter. we did alot of shopping! i bought a few shirts that are too small for me now but will fit once i lose the 10-15 ive gained. shopping is GREAT here! a little too good i think....im really enjoying it lol
day 2 - we went on a grand palace/temples and buddhas/city tour tour - thought it was just a morning tour, turned out to be an all day thing! it was pretty good. i saw all the buddhas i wanted to see (reclining buddha and emerald buddha) once we got home we were pretty beat so we just watched a movie (on satellite) and went to sleep
day 3 - early morning for our floating market/tiger temple tour! this one was cool! lots of driving though and TOO MUCH unorganization. they told us when we bought the tours that it would be no more then 10 people but they were juggling like 3 bussloads of people! it was crazy! paid too much for buddhas on the floating market but it was super cool! then wandered around the river kwai and did some souvineer shopping then headed to the tiger temple! this was cool - although the poor tigers were so hot! they just lied and slept - looked SO hot! to go and touch and pet the tigers one assistant would hold your hand and take you up to a tiger and then say 'sit, touch!' and you could rub the tiger while another assistant took like 100 pictures of you with your camera of you and the tiger. then the 1st assistant took your hand and took you too the next tiger. same thing 'sit, touch!' and 100 pictures later. thank god for digital cameras! anyway it was pretty cool to touch a tiger!
day 4 - today we are checking out of the hotel and prolly going back to siam square and then catching the bus tonight to ko tao! YAY BEACH! although im not sure the weather is going to be so nice its going to be great to get out of a big city for a while!
well tahts the update! less then 4 weeks till i get home! are you excited!?
love you all times a million!

Hi Alia Bee!
Sounds like you're giving your sister the royal tour, and having lots of fun.
For sure, we'll go to Kdays (now called Capital Ex, for you foreigners) and pick you up some fudge.
Love you lots
Dad
Hi Honey Bunny;
I was just saying to Daddy the other dayt that we need to go to Capital X and get some fudge. I can't remember what exactly the dates are, but it is very soon. We love and miss you both!
wow sounds like a packed couple of days!!
i'm happy your sister made it to you safe and sound and that you didn't miss her at the airport since i'm sure you would've had a heartattack if you thought you lost her in bangkok!!
don't spend too much of your money.....ahhh who am i kidding spend it!! you won't be in Thailand again anytime soon :P
miss you lots and can't wait to see you when you get home!!
travel safe love!
4 weeks, yea.. im excited.
i would have SO shed some tears after my sister arrived... i would miss my family so much. i do miss then and they are only a 20-30 minute drive away.
i posted just one picture of the belly. i'll have more after the weekend. hopefully.
now about this fudge situation... i would get you some... but it's sounding like your parents are getting you the fudge... so i won't bother, but i might... because you can never have too much fudge... doen't matter what anyone else says... never too much!!
lotsa love... miss you. :)
