Day 2: Bangkok to Hua Hin

Linz:
So the alarm goes off before I had set it...I was surprised that I didn't wake up when Scott got in--funny what sleep deprivation does to a person.  So we got ready and packed and ate our breakfast.  I was so stoked to be headed out of town on vacation.  

We were outside and ready to go and taxis kept pulling up.  I told them it would be a bit before my friend got here and told them the address...some just kept on their way.  One stayed and waited for us.  

Klass-Jan was coming towards us and we started to load the taxi.  I sat in front because I knew where the house was and could say the address in Thai...and I showed them things along the way (such as...Boston Bright--and to Ms. RT--your picture is no longer the picture on the side of the building).  

We got to the house and I think the taxi driver was more than amused that we weren't going to Menam Ramada and that I knew where I was going and showed him what Soi to turn down.  When we got to the house, we were met with hugs and wais and...suddenly he knew we belonged there.  Poy's Dad (Dadee) was outside and we said hi, saw the secretary Pui and wandered inside to see Opor and Poy.  

Scott's bag that decided to hang out in Beijing had shown up at Poy's and we brought the bags outside Poy's room.  We were ready to head to Hua Hin for our first little adventure. We said hello to Lot and Viking and were on our way...to the gas station...when Opor called to tell me Poy had left her purse, which she had realized around the same time...and giggles pursued.  

We drove back, got the purse and then we were on our way to Wora Bura

 and it was beautiful.  

The place was a slice of heaven and I was glad to be there.  It was good to spend good time with good people at such a relaxing place.  

We went for lunch and Poy ordered for me (after that many years she knows what I like, we left the guys to figure it out though encouraging them).  Then 3 of us hit the pool...Scott instead hit the fitness room...

Later Scott came by to say he was headed to the ocean, but we had our chairs, and were reading/chilling/writing/listening to music....and said we would see him later.  Until later came when we were getting hungry we went towards the ocean.  We did look up and down the beach, but I admit, I got sidetracked every time I saw horses and thought he might have been on one.  He wasn't though...

We didn't see him...pretty sure he wasn't in our near vicinity we grabbed his shoes and headed to our rooms to get ready for dinner...and sure enough he emerged from...swimming towards a giant statue.  A Buddha statue he wants to insert here...except he didn't have the camera.

We got ready to head towards a seafood restaurant with amazing views. It was breathtaking...and that would have capped off our night...but we spent the remainder of it on our balcony just enjoying...life...
