Safe and sound with friends around

We are back in Bangkok after a day of traveling; another unpleasant speeding cramped minivan. We met our friends Matt and Elaina at the airport which was a surprise we are thankful worked out. We did not arrive back at our hostel until 2am. We went to bed and an hour or so later we were awakened by a massive thunderstorm above the city but it soon went away.

Today we have been taking it slow, chatting, eating (we love pad thai), and planning our trip. We have made some needed purchases and are ready to move on. Tomorrow we will try our luck with Thai trains. We are heading far south with a final destination being A little island called Koh Toa. It is supposed to be surrounded by a great reef and is the perfect spot for diving which we are all hoping to do a little of.

We are very excited for this next phase in our trip. Travelling with friends is already a welcome change. We have also begun to count down the weeks until our return instead of the weeks we have been away. This was a sneaky transition but we are okay with it. Time is only a measurement but it is not the most important measurement that we have.
