Finally! Bal(l)i(n')!

After i last wrote, we stayed our last night in Phuket. I bought one more banana and Cheese pancake thingy and went to bed. We woke up at 7 am the next morning to go for a morning swim in the ocean. Now most people probably think that swimming in the ocean without a huge crowd of people in it is great. I am under the assumption, however, that the less people that are in the ocean with you, the higher your chances of getting maimed/killed/eaten/stung/hurt/injured/burned/electrocuted/defenestrated by local marine life goes way up. Luckily none of those things happened for my little swim, but it could have! Worse thing that happened was i was attacked by a soggy piece of bread. Still very scary but much less lethal. Then we had our final breakfast at our hotel and packed. Oh, did i mention that we recovered our lost luggage? Apparently Frisco sent them to Honk Kong for some reason. So we were paid 400 bucks as hush money i assume and we were on our way. We were reunited in Phuket so everything worked out. Anyways, after packing our stuff up again, we got on a taxi and left for the airport.

Our taxi driver was extremely friendly. Most of the time we sit in an awkward silence, asking occasional questions to the driver. Of course the driver has no clue we are trying to speak to him, so our questions fall on deaf ears and we just give up all together. Not this guy though. He talked so much about the different fruit that grew in thailand and where it grew best. Probably would have been better if i could understand him, but i gut the gist of it. Well we got to the airport, took off with air asia, and flew into Bangkok once again. We had all our luggage, then we went to  our hotel (same hotel as our last stay a few days before) and the taxi driver was again silent as a stone. Got to the hotel, went for a swim, then hit the town. We  bought some fruit and ate diner and a pretty nice place in the food court of a mall (seriously though it was good thai  food). Bangkok was very hot! then we did nothing and woke up at 5 the next day to get to the airport yet again. We arrived in Bali and met up with some family. We went to one of my mother's friends house from college (a trillion years ago) and we went downtown for some food. I got to get to know their kids, Neva and Felicia who are 4 and 18 months respectively. So cute! Ill show some pictures once i can. Anyways, tata!

  1. Again, I'm glad your "adventure" in the ocean didn't kill you...

    SEE?!???!!?? It really isn't that bad, is it?? It'll grow on you i'm sure. Just like...well...something that grows on something else really well...like those things on a coral reef...that would have been a stupendous reference had I actually come up with it...

    Anywho...enjoy the rest of your airport trips! Have fun with the fam...AND GET SOME SLEEP! :D <3
