Leaving for Thailand

 This is our last day in London, our plane for Thailand leaves at 10pm tonight. Fortunately we are flying Qantas for the rest of the trip and the inflight movies look very promising for a change. We will be in Thailand for a week before flying back to Auckland.

In Thailand we will be staying on Ko Samui at Le Royal Meridien. Ko Samui is a small resort island off the eastern coast of mainland Thailand and was unaffected by the tsunami of Boxing Day 2004. The resort sounds really great and is something we have been looking forward to during the snow and rain of the last few months. Weather wise it looks like its going to be warm and wet but we are hoping to get a bit of a tan when there is a break in the clouds. The island has a lot of tourist orientated activities such as elephant treks which look like fun.
We are almost all packed up. I had to buy a carry on suitcase in order to fit all the books I have picked up over the last couple of months. Hopefully there will not be any major trouble at the airport as our bags are getting very heavy...
