2006 sucked hard, so I’m more than happy to wave it goodbye. Actually, mostly just the first half or so? Until about September anyways, so maybe 3/4 suckage and 1/4 good. I hope the upswing continues into the New Year!

Thank you, all my family and friends, you should get a medal for putting up with me this year. Love you all. Hopefully 2007 will be happy and fun and shiny and sparkly. And smell good.

Napped a lot today actually, all that doing nothing in Bangkok tired us out I guess. We eventually managed to head down to the beach for the festivities and wandered over to Mr. Wee’s for pizza. Now with cheese! Yummy.

Sat on the beach watched fireworks and paper lanterns that people were lighting on fire and sending up into the sky. Very beautiful.

It’s hard to imagine what this place looked like two years ago. Everything is re-built and everyone is happy again. It’s so nice to be back. Happy New Year!!!

Yay yay yay, we’re going to Lanta today!

Uneventful flight down to Krabi and the usual drive from Krabi to Lanta, other than waiting waaaay too long at the first ferry (over an hour - an eternity when you’ve been waiting years to go back to Lanta…)

Finally arrived and “snuck” over to Best House so we could drop off our stuff (and pile on the bug spray) before being spotted by the greeting crew.

And then - yay! Mr. Dang and Dieu and Mr. Tom and little Wem and Mann…hugs hugs hugs hugs hugs and then Garlic Pepper Prawns and several Changs. Oh and a gecko shat on me. But still, perfect. Perfect.
