Well I guess it's been a little while since our last post - Only problem is there isn't much going on here! I had a little mishap (Lets just say it involved fainting and smacking my head against the hard wood floor and needing a doctor) So we have been spending some time in our loverly accomidations watching countless movies and keeping the beds warm and thankfully they are very nice and comfy. We managed to make it into town yesterday and had a very nice pizza hut lunch we found a painting we are still debating if we will buy it (Its very large but only costs $100CAD and its super nice, it is chinese symbols that stand for "power" "love" and "Excellence"
we will have to see.. I also found a statue of an iguana on a log that I loved but kirby wont let me get because it really is too big to ship!
The gang booked into a tour today to see most of the island, we decided to conserve money after the expensive doctors bill (And possibly put that money towards the painting).. Who knows..
We have been having trouble with hot water as we are so far up the hill in the resort and we are also so excited for an actual bathtub that we refuse to let a little thing like hot water stand in our way so.. We fill the tub half way with luke warm water, then for the next half an hour we boil water in the kettle and in a largew pot and fill the remainder of the tub with hot water and in the end have a very nice bath.. BUT you have to make sure you want a fairly long bath or your efforts are not worth it!
There is a storm off the cost of Koh Samui (The biggest one in 10 years) and the resort normally has a beach but the waves coming in has swallowed the beach whole - Which is ok with us because they have a very nice pool and you can watch the waves crashing in on the rocks.. Its very pretty!
Hope everyone is well and we will talk to you soon!

Hi Guys,
Ouch! Krista, sorry to hear about your fainting spell we hope all is fine now. The weather here has been wonderful. It is supposed to stay that way until Saturday. It sounds like we may get some snow then. We are trying to do some Christmas shopping but it is hard to get started when it doesn't look like winter, but hey, I am not complaining! Hopefully your weather is getting nicer. Have you been going into town at all? Soon on to New Zealand. What day do you fly out of Ko Samui? Time to go do some shopping...so take care and stay safe.
Love Mom & Dad
