Christmas Eve in Thailand

Hello All,

Happy Christmas Eve...(almost for you guys)

Our resort built a stage and there is a big show and dinner planned - although we are not going (for the Brits - it's included in their rate - for us, it would be an additional $300!). We would rather go back into town and finish shopping and spend time alone. We inherited 2 British couples as our new BFFs for the last 2 days and have done evrything with them. Jane #1 got so drunk last night - she fell asleep on my shoulder in the car driven by our resort manager - there's a story... ;) Aaron has enjoyed adopting British slang as his new shtick. Everything is "bloody gorgeous" or he has to go do a jimmy riddle (#1).

Yesterday, Aaron and I and one of the Brit husbands hiked 6 miles to the peak and saw fabulous scenery. Funniest part was Aaron jumping a mile high when a snake crossed his path (just glad I was nowhere near it nor the ginormous spider).

Today is our last full day in Thailand -- so going to try and soak it up. Hard to believe the trip is almost over.

Hope you all are well..and getting into the spirit...

Thinking of you all...

Love and Merry Christmas,

Kim & Aaron
