159 Sleeps

Well the holiday is fully booked now, I can safely say that on May 2nd 2009 at 23.30 Matt and I will be on our way to Phuket. Well that is if the plane leaves on time . If there is one thing that can take my mind off having another baby, it is a holiday. It has taken me 2 weeks to find the right package for us after trying to build my own online, I ended up flight centre which they had a ad in the paper, still shocks me at what kind of deal we got. price wise I was very happy and we just went a little over budget by $300 which I was thinking we needed to because it was the travel insurance that took us over the mark. But when travelling to Thailand, well really anywhere Travel insurance is very much needed and a must have. I very much think its just like car insurance, if you don’t have it, don’t get out on the road.

So where are we going?

Well I have 8 nights booked in Phuket at the Merlin Beach Resort.

Swim up bar, which was what Matt asked for. Thats all he wanted was a swim up bar. Oh the simple things.

Arrhhh yes I can see myself sitting here and just enjoying the sun, taking a lap around the pool.

Yep I can see us walking around and holding hands.

The resort has three different pools, which are in the photos above. While Mum was here, I went shopping for new swimmers.  Now this something that I haven’t done in over 10 years. Yep 10 years. I hated even thinking that I was going to go swimming, and well most of time I just used to sit back and watch everyone, or just put my legs in the water. I found some great swimmers and what can I say I look hot in them too! I really can’t remember the last time I was this skinny, or looked good in a swimming suite. I ended up getting myself two tops to go over myself but they are like a messh, one in cream and one in black. Plus for the first time really in my whole self I got myself  two dresses! I know. One is more so for going over my swimmers, but the other is more dress up and very cute. Plus I still couldn’t believe that I got it off the "normal’ clothing size rack. Yep. In a large! So i don’t plan on wearing much while in Phuket, it will be hot and I want to enjoy being skinny and showing off a bit of skin.

The second part to our Holiday is Bangkok, I have been to both Phuket and Bangkok before, about 10 years ago. But I really dont remember to much about it. We arrive in Bangkok on the 11th of May. And have two days to spend looking at everything. It maybe not enough, but really it’s meant to be relaxing and I’m thinking the first night their we will go to the night markets and then the second day I really want to go to the temples and see the baby lion cubs. Plus I would love to do a tour of the city.

Not as fansy as Phuket, but really I don’t plan on spending much time here, to much I want to go out and see and do.

The third part to our Holiday is Chiang Mia, now just for something different we are taking a over night sleeper cabin in a train to Chiang Mia. Never done that before so why not! The train goes on the 13th of May to Chiang ai and we arrive on the 14th and we leave on the night train back to Bangkok on the 17th of May. Not really sure what to do in Chiang Mai yet, but I’m sure we will find something to do by the time we get down to there.

All the hotels looks very clean and nice! I feel like a little kid and I just can’t wait to go now. I think Matt said its 159 sleeps to go and counting.
