off

traveling again!

tomorrow morning we leave for Penang, Malaysia (as a class). it's also known as georgetown as it was the first place the british colonized in malaysia. it's supposed to be great and i'm excited :)

on saturday we leave (and by we i mean my close friends) for THAILAND!

we fly up to phuket first. it's on the west coast and the beaches are supposed to be really beautiful (Ko Phi Phi is there and it's the beach from The Beach..the movie) but it's monsoon season so there won't be any sun. we have no specific plans for that area (but that's the plan)...and are going to move to the east coast when we please.

we have reservations on the east coast on wednesday july 4 so we will definitely be in Ko Samui by then....but i think we may take a mini bus over sooner than that.

i found a sweet place to stay in Samui thanks to my trusty lonely planet guide and you should probably check it out because it's right on the beach and it's really cool AND it's only costing 8 dollars a night. www.geckosamui.com
i hope it's going to be as cool as i think it is.
either way, 8 dollars a night is pretty awesome.

so i'm off for a while....glad to be traveling again :)

happy july fourth!
