Poolside

I don’t think I woke up until 11:00am and it was a BEAUTIFUL THING! I honestly don’t think I have slept in that late in three months and if you know me you KNOW I love sleeping in!

We all had some breakfast and spent the day poolside (as every day should be). It was VERY hot in the sun so I think I dipped in the pool about every 5 minutes! Lorna had brought me over the latest magazines so it was GREAT to catch up on everything I was missing in the U.S!

We were all relaxing by the pool when all of a sudden these two couples get in a HUGE argument (I think they had British accents). One couple was mad at the other for taking their pool chairs (they were all vacationing together) but I think one couple had upgraded to our wing and the other couple was at the regular hotel (and they aren’t suppose to use our pool) and it was SO awkward to witness! It made me really appreciate my friends and how they wouldn’t start yelling at me because I stole their pool chair! Mom saw them later on all hanging out so luckily they moved on but it was really sad.

Lorna and I also tried the swim up bar and got banana smoothies but I did not enjoy it! Well the smoothie was ok (I wanted strawberry but they didn’t have any) but the bar stools were very uncomfortable (not soft at all) and too far away from the bar! I had always wanted to stay in a place with a swim up bar but I was not that impressed!

As it became late afternoon Lorna and I went to do some laundry and our quarters worked again! Wahoo! Luckily between the three of us we had enough quarters to do the three loads we needed to!

We all showered and debated about whether or not to go to sunset, but decided against it! We would have to get a cab and it was a bit of a drive to the place everyone recommended (about 45 minutes) and we were looking forward to a relaxing night. We decided we would go to the Hard Rock Café (I think it is my mom’s new mission to go to a Hard Rock café everywhere we go!) It was nice to have a good meal! We left to head to the mall area to walk around for a bit and ended up at Swenson’s for an ice cream. The last time we had gone to Swenson’s (our first night in Bangkok) Lorna had been half asleep so this time was much better!

We then came back to the hotel so I could get ready for my hot skype date with Steve! Mom and Lorna got to wave to him which was nice! We finished packing so we can go to Chiang Mai tomorrow! Woo hoo!

Hugs and kisses from our last day in Phuket!
