We arrive

(If some of this doesn't make sense it's because my internal clock is way off and it is 4 am LOL)

So we finally arrive in Bangkok after many hours of traveling. I left at 11:00 pm on the 20th and arrive to Bangkok a the same time but on the 22nd. It was well over 30 hrs of travel which is probably why I am up at 4a.m. writing this right now.

We got to Bangkok with no problems at all right on time which we were very happy about. We didn't really have any plans set in stone for our arrival. Ryan and I were to meet Brandon and Will at a Hotel that I had recommended, but we didn't know for sure if they would have any vacancies. If that didn't work out we were just going to wing it. Luckily it everything fell into place even better than we could have expected. Will and B got the rooms no problem, but we didn't have a set time to meet (we were just going to find the room #). Turns out that at the exact time that Ryan and I come through the doors Brandon and Will are down there informing the front desk of our arrival lol (pretty crazy). That isn't the best part though. Less than 2 minutes before Ryan and I get there Will is sees the Twins from London (who he has never talked to nor had plans to meet up with). He remembered them from my pictures lol. So he asks them if they are who they are and if they know me then immediately after that Ryan and I walked in. It was so crazy for all of us to end up there in the lobby at the same time. ( totally crazy)
After we hung out and visited for a bit we just headed to bed excited about the journey we were about to begin. We all agreed on getting to the islands as soon as possible, so our main goal was to get arrangements made for the islands which was quite simple. We spent most of our first day just hanging out and walking around Khosan Rd. Our bus to the harbor left at 6pm and arrived at 2:30am which is where I am now. We are waiting here till 7 am (it is 4:30 am right now and everyone else is asleep but I can't) to catch the ferry to Ko Tao where we get to visit some old friends at Sea Shell :o) it's going to be good to see them after being away for so long.

Nothing else to crazy is going on right now I just figured I would update this since I can't sleep and don't know when I will have the internet next. I will try and get some pics posted by the end of the week. We have the full moon on the 26th so I am sure I will have plenty to talk about after that as well.
