It's Friday, November 20th..................HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAURA!!!

First with the disappointing news: a tropical storm came through Wednesday night so all excursions regarding water are canceled for probably 5 days. They were predicting the swells around Ko Tao were going to be at least 9 feet. So no diving for Robyn and I. Anne and I had Thai massages here at the hotel spa. It was really cool having the massages outside during the storm. The Thai massage is very different than the Swedish ones we're used to. They do not utilize any oils and it's all based on pressure points. These ladies are so little, but freakishly strong. The literally crawl on top of you. Massages are very cheap here and will be getting them often.

The sun was out all day yesterday so we ventured to Chaweng Beach. Had a ton of fun in a beach front bar with some crazy Brits. Drank many Singha beers.

Went into town and visited Dr. Fish. The pools contain garra rufa fish from Turkey that nibble the skin to stimulate, rejuvenate and improve the health of your skin through natural exfoliation. It was so weird. We only did our feet and hands. No way I was going to completely submerge my body.

Off to the pool this morning and then we're going to discover the other side of the island later this afternoon and evening. Someone recommended a restaurant where we can watch the sun set.

No pictures today because somehow I've misplaced the USB cord to my camera. I know it's somewhere. Will hopefully find it or you will not be getting any pictures the rest of the trip. Really wanted to upload the Dr. Fish pics.
