Okay get out now

Today was our last day at the tropical resort on phi phi island. We were still not completely sure how we were going to get off the island, all we knew is that we were departing at 130. We haven't really found anyone that knows great English, so maybe next time we need to learn a little more Thai. Anyway we decided to get a massage. We were picked up from our bungalow and taken to their spa on the side of the cliff. We were served tea listening to the waves hitting the beach. Christie got a cucumber wrap and Amy got a full body oil massage done side by side. After our hour massage we headed back to our bungalow to pack.

We met at the pier to depart and Amy was a little nervous about getting sea sick again. We wer both a little apprehensive on how we were getting to our next destination, Railay Bay. We took a long tail boat to the main phi phi island port. Once we arrived there we got to wonder around for an hour. We met some monkeys and took in some sights. Then we boarded a very large ferry to the Railay port. This was a very very rocky trip, but fortunately Amy did not get sick. When we get to the port our princess trip came to an abrupt pause. We then went onto a long tail boat where the driver about one hundred yards from the shore said "okay get out now". At first we thought it was a joke. We are aware of the saying only pack what you can carry, we just never thought we would have to carry anything through the ocean. When there is challenge we just have to find the support. Fortunately, some very nice canadians offered to carry our luggage for us. We got to shore with wet bodies but dry luggage.

We were then taken to our private bungalow with a beach front view. Railay bay is gorgeous. Pictures will come soon.

Tomorrow we have a sea adventure..... It is very sad that our days are winding down, but we are definitely starting to appreciate our lives in America.
