Thailand

Thailand was FABULOUS!  We just aren't lazy enough to fully appreciate the lifestyle.  It was rough.  Everyday we would get up late and stroll to the buffet.  Then swim at the pool and watch the kids on the water slide.  Around noon we would mosey across the street to the beach.  The kids would be screaming "We don't want to go to the beach, again".

Europeans as far as the eye can see!

At the beach things get really lazy.  You set your butt down on the chair and stick your hand up when you want a beer.  A little man runs and gets it and it only costs $2.  When you get hungry, you roll over to the restaurant ten meters away and order fabulous Thai food for $5.  The food is simply amazing, at every shack!  Next you roll over to the massage table where $10 buys you an hour of massage.  Then back to the chair to read.  We even got Ryan a massage!  He thought it was a little creepy.

                                                                                                           


Of course, Linds needed the island hair do!

 We did stay up late one night to go to the Fantasea show.  We were just expecting a couple elephants to parade around on stage.  But the show was AMAZING!  The people who put on this production, dumped millions of dollars into this little elephant show!  It was like Elton John meets Michael Jackson's Neverland.  The show even had chickens, goats and doves that were trained to run in a certain direction in unison.

Dad always get hurt on vacation!

Yes, the white tigers have a hot tub!  We could even play with the baby elephants.  Lindsey and I want a baby elephant!  Do you think they would cost much to feed in Arizona?  We really want one!

This monkey was cool!  He kept grabbing my fingers to play with me but I was afraid he could bite.  I didn't want to get a rabies shot.  That could ruin a vacation.         

Our hotel was just up the hill from the show and we could hear the elephants trumpeting after the show.  We could also hear the crazy bird that the farmer next door has as a pet- all night long.  Every ten minutes.  The hotel has so many complaints about the bird that they want to buy it from the farmer.  But they are afraid that if they pay him a lot, he will but many more birds to keep the guests up all night.  It worked out for us because they had to upgrade us to a three bedroom apartment to keep Sean happy.
