Phuket, Thailand

Oh Thailand, what is there not to love about you? Beautiful beaches, fascinating culture, delicious food - what more could
you want? We were so excited about revisiting Thailand after
4 years, especially a new part of the country. Needless to say, we
were not disappointed. Our holiday with Granma was everything we hoped for. Maya fell in love with the ocean the very first day and couldn't wait each morning to jump in the waves and build sandcastle after sandcastle. Afternoons were spent lazing on our
balcony with a book and a beer, after indulging in one delicious meal after another. We spent most afternoons by the pool or out in the "town" experimenting with the local street food. Fresh mango and rambutan peeled and cut into bite size pieces followed by tantalizing banana chocolate pancakes. We did venture out one day to visit a local temple and HUGE Big Buddha which reminded us of the incredible structures in this country. What a wonderful trip, especially because we got to share it with a wonderful Granma.
