Our first week in Thailand has been pretty fun. We’ve hopped from island to island and have
landed in Koh Phi Phi Don for Christmas (Remember the movie “Beach” with
Leonardo DeCaprio?…this is where they filmed it). The boys have been playing non-stop and we
have a big dinner planned for tonight (Christmas Eve) with a few of the boats
here. In some ways it's hard to believe we're in Thailand. It's not like most of the tourists where they got off a plane and the scenery has suddenly changed drastically...we've slowly eased our way into SE Asia and Thailand doesn't look so different from Malaysia. The biggest change is that there are very few muslims and way more tourists and hippy backpackers.

As much fun as we're having, it’s the first Christmas on that boat
that doesn’t really feel like Christmas.
The anchorage is a bit rocky with all of the boats zipping by and the
evenings are filled with “boom chick a boom boom” coming from the shore
non-stop until 2 in the morning. And I
have to say I’m a bit home sick. It’s
been a lot of Decembers away from home…I was telling Andy how pathetic I
am…sitting in an anchorage in one of the most popular beaches in Thailand
having trouble being happy. So, I’m
adjusting my attitude today and getting into the spirit. I called my mom, wrapped presents and now
we’re cooking up a storm (at least Andy is).
So here’s to all of our friends and family wherever you may
be, wishing you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the crew of
Savannah…all the way from Thailand! I'll leave you with some pictures from the aptly named Monkey Beach! BAD Monkeys!

Hi -
My name is Michael Boyink and together with my family of 4 have been a fulltime RVers for right around 4 years now.
We started TopFamilyTravelBlogs as a way to keep current with other traveling families. We initially had just other RVers but have broadened the scope to include any family traveling full time in any mode.
I wanted to let you know that we added your blog to the mix of sources so hope to send some traffic your way. Your new posts should appear on the paper the next day after publishing them.
If you care to link to TopFamilyTravelBlogs.com from your site you can find logos at: http://b4a.us/a/6125 (no worries if you don't want to - this isn't a money-making effort on our part).
If you know of other family blogs that regularly update feel free to suggest them - we'll add them if we haven't found them already.
Best wishes!
Michael Boyink
It seems you have an enjoying holidays .. Happy New Year!
