We split up for a few days after Raliey. Me and Jaclyn headed for Ko Lipe and Ryan and Gamey went to Phi Phi for a few days! Ko Lipe was a beautiful litlle Island in the deep south of Thailand, its actually closer to Malaysia than Thailand. We go OUR OWN bungalow on the beach and had a few days to get used to the island before our friends arrived. Jaclyn did her Open Water SCUBA Diver course here, and me and Ryan did some great fun dives as well! Our first dive we did was to 24m and we seen some neat fish...I saw a 1.5m Giant Grouper, was the biggest fish I have ever seen! I seen a Sea turtle on another dive and he had one leg missing! The soft coral was the best part of these dives it was realy beautifull. We spent close to a week on this island diving and snorkleing in the beautifull clear water.

The remainder of our trip we split up again, Ryan and Gamy headded to the beautifull island of Ko Panang, and me and Jack headded to a town called Khao Lak. We had a blast here, we did some river rafting and some Elephant riding. The Elephant we had was really impatient, cause he kept passing every group of elephants we would come across! The next day we did a dive on an old coal ship that wrecked off the coast of Khao Lak. Jacklyn did great it was only her 5th dive and it is really chalenging to dive a ship wreck ecpecially this one. This ship was intact till the Big tsunami in 2004.It tore the ship apart, and left pieces of steel and wood sticking out everwhere! I was so impressed with her, even our know-it -all dive master thought she did a great job!

We caught a flight from Phuket to Bangkok on the 11th and met up with Ryan and Gamey for a few last days in Thailand together. We shopped till we dropped and had some great Indian Food! It was a really amazing trip we all had, you dont get to travel with your best friend and girlfriend everyday. Was really hard to say good bye but it has been the BEST month of my trip and I know it will stay that way no matter where I go! Im now in Bali I just bought my first Surf Board...Teal Steel I calls it! I buzzed my hair again and Im trying to adjust to being alone again. THANKS FOR JOINING ME JACLYN GAMEY AND RYAN! Its really different with out ya! Bye for now!
PS Miss ya Jack!
