Our first trip outside China, ( well Not mine ) but for Sean it was his first chance. So after we wheeled and dealed about a few scheduling details we were all set to depart. I was in America a week before , so when I came back we flew off the next day. Off we went to the airport, passed through the Customs, and soon we were sitting having a gin tonic in the airport bar. The Tereminal 3 of Beijing ariport is huge, so as we wondered around it was like being in a little city. After we checked our watches we started to head over to the gate. Soon the boarding time cam, and we scurred off to our seat, got all situated and comfortible. Sooner than we had taken off it was time to land in Bangkok, then a run through the airport to the other side of the Terminal and to Gate A5 Seemed like it was miles away. As I had been to the Bangkok terminal like a thousand times before I knew the way perfectly. So we arrived the right gate we had time to spare. Sean was feeling antzy and excited, and I was happy that we could go on this trip. I had planned the entire trip with the best of accomidations and airport pick ups so that we had no problems at all. The first place we stayed was dewa Resort, and a pool villa, a nice reccomendation form my friend who used to live in phuket. So we spend a few night there, and could swim in our own little pool. Breakfast on the patio was pleasant, cappuccinos were great, and sean could eat all he wanted. We headed one day to the other side of the island for shopping and a stop at the holiday inn, light lunch at the hard rock cafe. Th next night we went to fantasia , Had a nice dinner and show, and even got picked up in a elepahant van. ( pink in color) . We headed to Phi phi island , first to the ferry, then a 2 hour ride, then stopped, transferrd to another boat nd headed to the resort. I had booked a villa on the mountain and by the look of seans eyes when we arrived he was quite happy.The villa had a view to die for and a largeer pool of our own. The 5 room villa was perfect for our trip, and the staff and facilities were of 1st class quality. We arranged tours to maya bay, and did the tour things, more and more i wanted sean to see the islands and what else there is in the world. The resort even though it rained one day was still lovely. A great time was had, with a great man indeed. Enjoy some of the pictures, as there were over 600 to much to post, but i think you get the idea of the beauty.

So We stood in the long line form hell to get our tickets, just like the tourists who come to visit the city by the hundreds. People pushing and shoving and trying to get in front of us, well with the refridgerator if front of them they had little chance to get by me. heheheehh ( for those of who who do not know who the refridgerator is, it refers to a famous foot ball player from america, he was so large they called him the refridgerator ) So when we finally got in past all the waving flags we like always flippeda coin and tried to figure out which way would be better to go. We went left, then right, then left, then right, then down one alley and another. We wondered all around the city. I wanted sean to see the special treasure room, of the city, not sure if he ever had before so we went over into that direction and looked at all the treasures form the acient past. We walked form one end to the other, and we exitted out the other side of the city, and of course we walked back home, could not find a taxi at that time of day, as the place is filled with tourist and the like trying to get a taxi. Another great Day!~
