Living it Up


I feel a little guilty even showing the pictures of where we have been staying the last few nights. After 4 nights of getting our blood sucked out by killer mosquitos at the last place we decided that for Cari's birthday we should up the ante a little and stay somewhere nice, but this was not going to be easy. First of all it's high season and second of all I'm cheap. Well when Cari gets motivated she can do almost anything as I am finding out. She marched into a 4 star hotel that was being opened that day and realizing they had no customers yet cut a great deal that allowed our family to stay in one the nicest places we could find in Krabi. Maybe she should be selling cars???
Our visit at Orchid Resort was simply amazing. We were their first guests and the whole place was ours. They even set up a table at the pool for Cari's birthday as if it was national holiday; presenting her with flowers and a birthday cake.
Monday we left for cheaper but still nice accomodations just down the road. They have a sea kayak that the guests can use free of charge so Meghan and I took a 2 hour journey to a private cove. We had a great time together and made it back before the lightening and rain storm hit hard. Well all in a beach day. Enjoy the pictures and try not to resent us.
God Bless,
Kurt

To be in a nice place where you can enjoy God's creation and blessings and sights and sounds is a part of life...or at least should be!

You sound like you are having too good a time on this trip. Just remember Seattle with SNOW on and off the past 2-3 days. It too shall pass but SNOW? NOW? Enjoy the warmth of each other and the blessings of family and travel. You are missed and loved and prayed for.
