In case your geography is as bad as the Austrailian girls in our Thai cooking class tonight (who didn't know Alaska was part of the USA or that is not connected to the lower 48), here is a map of Thailand so you can see where we are at. We flew into Chiang Mai in the north (we were rerouted here due to the closure of Bangkok airport). We'll probably have to head back up here after we are done with the beaches in the south in order to visit Laos.

Anyways, we will go to Phuket and Krabi where the islands are beautiful w/ white sand beaches and clear turquoise seas for good snorkelling. Then get on the sailboat and sail around Phuket and Krabi area for a week. After that, maybe head down south of Krabi near Trang to visit some other Islands and then up to Laos and/or Cambodia. We'll end the trip in Bangkok flying out Jan 18.

We'll post more later, I am holding the blog hostage, until my Mom does another blog post on her own blog (which hasn't been updated in months). Haha mom, better post something fast on yours.
