CHRISTMAS ON KOH LANTA

Happy Holidays from the warm tropical island of Koh Lanta!

Thanks to Travis's hard work while we were home in Seattle, we're now spending 10 fabulous days and nights on Koh Lanta: a small island located 14 hours south of Bankok, near Phuket (see link for map above). We have been hiking in the jungle, spelunking in caves filled with bats, and of course, sampling a variety of fresh oceanic fare.

As you might have suspected, we are also doing lots of scuba diving. Koh Lanta is near some world class dive sites. We've already seen pufferfish, poisenous sea snakes, giant morray eels, gorgeous red and purple coral, and a 12 ft. manta sting ray! We're both feeling right at home on the open Andaman Sea... it must be that Norgwegian blood thriving in us.

Cheers to you and yours during this holiday season. If you happen to be spending Christmas in a place where the weather is cold, we are sending you warm pina colada kisses on the breeze from the other side of the world.
