Thialand Highlights

February 20th- March 3, 2013
Traveling on 8 different airplanes and 45 hours total in the air, this definitely was an Adventure we will NEVER forget.

Outside our hotel window


Angelina Italian Restaurant


Authentic Italian Food (very very expensive)

Hot Dog Stuffed Pizza


PHUKET, THAILAND
The biggest island in Thailand

        
The only American food we could find in the city of Phuket, Thailand
Sunny Time Orphanage.  We gave the children hand made cars.  You would have thought we gave them a million dollars.  They were so happy.  These children are victims of the tsunami in 2004 or their parents can't take care of them.  The government doesn't allow them to be adopted so they are raised here until they are 18 years old.    

Nothing like a Coconut Cream Pineapple "virgin" cocktail after getting fried in the hot sun despite sun screen.  Such a wonderful night to spend our 10th anniversary, February 28.  We felt very extremely lucky to be able to spend our 10th anniversary in Thailand payed for by Maverik.

Some authentic Thia food.  This food actually made Ben and I sick.  The only food in Thailand that we tried that made us sick.

We added a fairy tale to our last night in Thailand.  We lit floating lanterns and a tradition to the Thai people.  It is suppose to mean good luck if it doesn't burn up.  Nobody had that happen.  I really hope it comes true.  Good luck this year would really be nice.  I love how the lantern was as tall as me.

Our trip out to Phi Phi Island where they filmed the Hollywood movie, The Beach
