We just checked out of our brown water bungalows here in Koh Phi Phi. A culture that encourages the concept of literally loading up a bucket with alcohol for consumption is a bad thing for the type of people that we are.
I have not had a remotely sober night in the past 10 days. I really wish we weren't leaving.
I type that out and fully mean it but I think the emphasis on how much I truly don't want to leave this place is lost. This is paradise. I think the tone of our trip is wrong for these types of locations. Places like Koh Phi Phi don't need to examined for 3 nights and then left. They need to be soaked in for weeks on end. Truly taken for the languid tone that they exude. My nails are dug into the sand.
Maia bay... a less frequented small bay on one of the off shot islands is one of the coolest places I think I've seen. Watching gorgeous parrot fish feast around it and then sitting in the sand for hours as the sun sets is pretty much how I would envision heaven.
My head is thumping... and I'm leaving this place for Singapore today. Australia is only days away. I guess this is my news. Joe is still loaded and it's noon.

K-Fed on the way bubba. Sending you love.
Dude, "soaked" sounds like the operative term! I'm glad you're seeing that gorgeous place as more than a traveling frat party (you know how I love frat boys!). Seriously, I'm thrilled that you are having the trip of a lifetime and SO broadening your experience...Murph LOVED asia, malasia and AU/NZ; you can tell me why. Love you dude!
"I dont know what, they want from me
Its like the more dong we come across
The more problems we see"

Maya Bay was the actual film set for a great deal of "the Beach".
I fell asleep drunk on the beaches of Koh Phi Phi twice. I guess paradise isn't such a bad place to pass out. I can see why they would film "The Beach" on Maya bay.
I don't understand the dong talk. You know I had a LOT of dong in Vietnam?--believe me the 'having dong' joke NEVER made it's rounds while in Saigon.
Are your hipster shoes with you in foreign lands?
It hadn't occured to me that the dong joke might ever, ever, ever get old.
And I don't what country you happen to be in... the dong shall follow.
Lets hope that he doesn't throw down a gum wrapper in Singapore. Remember the infamous "spanking" case a few years ago? ...and, PLEASE remember that Singapore carries a mandatory death sentence for drugs. On the other hand, a friend of mine (Susan's mother) used to go to Singapore for all her dental and cosmetic work. Swore they were the best in the world...
Jess's talking about canings. But whe have practiced that here at home right?
right. Cane, like with a switch. of bamboo.
In all seriousness, I am curous about the Tsunami damage.

get it quick before it is moved.
or GIS search; "top gear alabama"
they end up in NO.
Joe, if you're so in love with Alabama, why doncha marry it! Do they cane in Alabama? Alan, seriously, the only thing that keeps us all from exploding with jealously is the fact that we take secret delight knowing you've been drunk and high this whole trip and won't remember it and that twenty years from now, at Thanksgiving, you'll be telling a story about your travels and will have to end it with a "By doggies, I wish I could remember what we did/how we got that stuff/who I was with/where we were/what landed me in jail/and that I knew all that other great stuff was there..." Seiously, you better adventure like crazy down under (and bring me home-finders).
