so here i am, on phuket...its pronounced poo-get just so you know and dont go running around telling all your friends that 'alia is on fuk-it' - you'll just look dumb.
After bussing it for 16 hours from bangkok to krabi and then boating it from krabi to ko phi phi i found some shabby acommodation in the slums of phi phi. and it wasnt even cheap! 500 baht got me a cold shower and a fan. and a balcony viewing a whole pile of rubbish ( ihave photos as proof) to top it off, the name of the hotel was 'uphill cottages' and it definatly was uphill and from staying in this hotel i have learned that i am definatly not in good enough shape (jenn if you could please drop off that club fit pass at mom and dads as soon as you get a chance thatd be great id love to use it as soon as i get home). anyway so i paid for 3 nights, only stayed for two and got the heck off that island!
i am now on phuket staying in an area called patong beach - my cousin shawn recommended i stay here cuz he was here just last year on vacation from fighting in afghanistan so i took his advice and sofar it looks pretty good. the hotel im staying at is expensive (but mom told me to splurge, its my last 6 nights i might as well enjoy myself) but i have hot water and aircon and a tv and its really close to teh beach. couldnt ask for more....well i could, i hope the next 6 days are sunny!
love you all much!
see you soon

i will. i'm glad you've learned to be more discriminating with your accomodations. makes me proud.
I'm glad you took me up on the splurging. I did the conversion and you are paying a whole $35.00 a night for the nice digs! Woohoo. You couldn't get a closet for that price here. Daddy and I stayed at a dive in Miami for a night before a cruise and it cost us $350!!! One night!! After complaining I got $50 back. How generous. Considering our room also came with cockroches and something that looked like blood on the carpet, I think your $35.00 is well spent.
a week left, and you'll be home. it'll be amazing how fast the time will go. im sending you positive energy, and hopefully the sun shines, so you can spend your last days relaxing on the beach... working on your tan. im so jealous. i was going to get my tummy some colour last weekend, but im afraid if it burns, it's going to really hurt. so i'll just wait until after baby is born to lay in the sun. :)
take care, and see you SO soon!!
love love love yous!
good for you for "splurging" on yourself, you deserve it and besides, like your mom pointed out, i'm not sure $35 is considered splurging
you're home so soon and i can't wait to see you and hear all about your trip and then i can tell you more about mine and we can look at pictures and eat ice cream.....ok so that seems like a lot to do all at once but we've gotta make up for all this time you've been gone!! :P
miss you lots
love you lots
see you soon
