Ok, here's a run down on the last day of our trip! Breakfast, then quick beach time. Shower, pack up. Haggle with the taxi driver on the price to the pier. Settle on 200 Baht, still too much. So we take the taxi truck to the pier, take the ferry ... Read more >

We are fed up with this Tub Tim resort. The service is crap and the food is not all that good, plus we are getting ripped off by staying in this fan-only room. So we rented a moto and went in search of a new place to stay. We only had two hours ... Read more >

This morning Kyle was able to sneak and get a voucher for breakfast since we figured it wasn’t included with our cheapie room. As time went on we realized nothing was included in our cheapie room. Not only did it not have hot water and AC which ... Read more >

We had breakfast this morning. The usual fried eggs with toast and veggies. For some reason or other the food seems better and healthier out here. Even when it seems ill prepared. I am guessing that most of the food is fairly fresh and not ... Read more >

Angy and I were woken up at around 4:45 am, give or take 15 minutes. We got up and went about our morning routine of brushing our teeth and Angy washing her face. The train man then came around and turned everyone’s beds back into seats for the ... Read more >

Breakfast was again very good. Mim helped me order mushrooms with my eggs rather than the potatoes I was having. Then we parted ways with Mim, saying we would meet up in Koh Samet in a few days. Kyle and I had a few things to get done before ... Read more >

We got up and enjoyed the breakfast at our hotel that Mim had suggested. We both had poached eggs with bacon, ham and sausage. Of course the sausage is like a hot dog but it is still good, it at least tastes like a sausage. Kyle went down ... Read more >

So if you read yesterday’s story you might remember how when Angy had to go to the bathroom the second time I “made” her go to the bathroom alone. Well it was about four in the morning and it was already getting light outside. Also she was just ... Read more >

We woke up early to get ready for our trip. We separated our gear and put the stuff we would be bringing into the dry bags Kyle had bought for the trip. I would have to go without my pillow for another night, no room, and kind of ridiculous on ... Read more >

The tuk-tuk got to our guesthouse at exactly 9am. Before we left, while I was getting ready Kyle went down the street to a little stand that sold baguette sandwiches with chicken, cucumbers, tomatoes and chili sauce. At least we would have a little ... Read more >

We were in search of a new hotel this morning. We are nearing the end of our trip and we realized we are a little lower on funds than we thought. Oh this was totally scary! When I went to shower there was a massive spider up in the corner. I let out ... Read more >

We packed up our bags and had a quick breakfast, same as yesterday. I only ate a little of my baguette and saved the rest for the bus ride. A pick-up truck picked us up at 9am to take us to the bus station, the bus left at 10am. We checked out and left.... Read more >

Kyle woke up this morning and went straight to the other hotel to get the bag with the computer. When he got back he had the bag and the computer and a big smile on his face, we high fived! He had to pay about $22 USD for the extra trip back with the ... Read more >

Woke up in the morning and had breakfast. Angy and both ordered the French breakfast which was the wrong choice. A baguette, butter, jelly, and a few pieces of pineapple. I guess it was free but still I could have had more. We hopped into our mini-bus ... Read more >

Goodbye Hanoi! Kyle and I are leaving Vietnam today for Laos. This is the one country that we didn’t get our visa ahead of time, since I am such a planner and preparer this makes me a little nervous. We got up and had our standard breakfast. Then we ... Read more >

Another morning in Hanoi, SAME SAME, but different, a standard phrase heard almost as much as, "moto? Cyclo? Where you go?" Breakfast and then walking around the city. Kyle wanted pizza for lunch, so off we went to find it. But first we had ... Read more >

We had our standard breakfast at the Victoria Hotel. It was so cute, the woman who makes the breakfast remembered us and made poached eggs for us, and she even made sure to give me a glass of water for my vitamin drink! I don’t know if we described this ... Read more >
