we're back, alive, and well!

here's a short-hand review of wat our 6-day thailand trip consisted of:

-24 hour plane ride to thailand due to layover in taiwan and engine failure
-nauseous for 1 day due to plane ride and scary bus ride
-sketchy beginnings (only 2 of us in the "tour")
-hecka hot/humid surroundings (great for dieting)
-crazy bus driver! each day we lived in fear of getting hit or hitting a car. i think i screamed at least 3x per day as a passenger.
-slimey legs
-being hot inside and out! i love thai food! i can't take the spiciness but i kept eating more!

places we visited:
day 1: airport to pattaya beach, thai massage
day 2: coral island, nooch tropical gardens (thai culture, elephant show, and yummy dinner), camp chang elephant ride
day 3: back to bangkok, vimanmek mansion (lgst teak house), yummy hotel buffet, niiice hotel, yummy thai dinner 'n dance show
day 4: bang pa-in palace (european & chinese influence, very pretty!), ayutthaya (former capital of thailand), snake farm, cabaret show :O
day 5: swimming, shopping, back to airport for home!

i had a really fun time and advise everyone to take this opportunity to go! it's super cheap!
**warning: make sure you go with a good tour group. i guess i would recommend the one i went with.
