This past week, Koreans celebrated Chuseok, a holiday
similar to our Thanksgiving. And, because we work in Korea, we got the week off
(add another point to the teaching abroad column!). So, as we normally do when
we have time off, we loaded everyone up and took off. Some good friends of ours
used to live in Thailand so we took advantage of their tour guiding skills and
hit the sunny beaches of Phuket. This week was extra special because we got to relish
in the most treasured of words in any traveler’s vocabulary, “upgrade”. Our original
hotel was undergoing some maintenance so we luxuriated all week long in private
villas with our own swimming pool just a few steps from the beach. It’s a rough
life. Here are some of the highlights:
Everyone at the pool
Meeting the baby elephant
Telling Dada all about the ocean waves
Going for a walk with Mama
Feeding the ducks every morning at breakfast
I love this place! Don't you, sis?
