Scoot Scoot. Ko Samui.

Just another Thai Beach?  I think not.  First thing this morning we awoke to the sounds of the ocean crashing just 30 meters from our window.  We proceeded to secure and rent four scooters for the day (for about $4) and were off zipping around this beautiful island.  Driving on the wrong side of the road was no sweat, and the roads here gently guided us to each beach without much of a fight.  Today was the quintessential vacation day, I do believe we found our way into a postcard.  At one point today, within about 25 mninutes, the following took place:  Liam got a pedicure on the beach, Tim and Eric got a pineapple masterfully carved, Tim, Eric and I got a papaya salad prepared for us but a beach vendor, and I got a foot and leg massage while laying on a sheet in the sand with my eyes closed and the sound of the ocean crashing right beside.  I really don't think words are going to do the trick here.  Looking up at the palm trees, looking down at the white sand, and looking across the blue waters at the horizon is simply a breathtaking, undescribable thing.  So there you have it.  We have one more day on the island to go snorkling and boat riding, and then off to Bangkok.

Tony, I can only read about your travels with envy. The magic of facebook has reminded me that I don't travel like I would love to and that you often do just that. Sounds like you found a slice of nirvana in Thailand. I look forward to seeing the pictures and using them as a starting point to question my lack of adventure. Trevor
