Ausable Chasm

Today, we decided to go on a day trip to Ausable Chasm in New York State to enjoy the nice summer-like weather we’ve been having this weekend. We had both been when we were young, but that was a long time ago. The sun was warm, and the grass is already turning green.

Canada Takes Home the Gold

Sidney Crosby scored during OT to take home the gold for Canada; ending the Olympics to give us the most gold medals at 14, although Germany and the US still managed to beat us in the overall medal count. All in all, a pretty good finish, and congrats to all of the athletes!

Last day in Phuket

Our last day in Phuket was more laid back. There were no tours; instead, we rented a car for the day. I had to get used to driving on the left side of the road, and on the right side of the car.

Here are some of the sights we saw in the day:

Second day in Phuket

Our second day in Phuket was much more enjoyable than the first, which was ruined by that timeshare scam. We woke up very early at 7am to catch our tour bus, which was late to pick us up. It took about 20 minutes to bring us to Chalong pier, where we got on our . . . → Read More: Second day in Phuket

First full day in Phuket

Our first day in Phuket wasn’t as enjoyable as we thought it could be. We were kidnapped in the morning by a British woman on a scooter, who lured us in with a “winner” prize and the promise of a t-shirt.

We ended up wasting about 3 hours in a timeshare presentation, and we . . . → Read More: First full day in Phuket

Flying to Phuket

We had a long-ass plane ride to get to Phuket, connecting through Bangkok. This is what we had to do in order to not pay hundreds of dollars for the ticket. On the flight, we encountered a half-Thai half-Danish race car driver. He had apparently just won a race, and was carrying around a . . . → Read More: Flying to Phuket

Chiang Mai, Day 2

Day two in Chiang Mai was pretty interesting. We took a tour for most of the day, and our first stop was to see and ride on top of the elephants. That was pretty fun, except for the fact that the elephant cleaned out his trunk on us a couple of times! Our tour . . . → Read More: Chiang Mai, Day 2
