Traveling: ferry boat, bus, trains, planes, and always just me, and two beautiful blond women. How does one get this lucky you might ask. Simple, marry one of them, then invite her mother to travel with you. Janet is still with us and she is tough. We run her, swim her, and walk her, and most evenings end with me asleep and the ladies still out doing something. What are the somethings we have been doing since our last blog you might ask.
Goodbye Koh Tao: we did it, we left with both our Advanced Open Water SCUBA certification and took the ferry/bus to Krabi. There we enjoyed a street stall dinner and didn't get ill (last time we fell ill was March I think so lets keep it that way!). From Krabi we jumped a morning Ferry to Koh Phi Phi ( the pic below, check out the Man with the Golden Gun, or The Beach for films made on the island). We snorkeled for the first time in a week, seeing sea snakes, fish, and a turtle.
Then a quick ferry to Phucket, were Janet got her first Thai massage, we all three got tipsy, and we watched 100 dancers and 15 (or so) elephants dance on stage.
Hello Singapore: In an effort to head off another visa run to Burma (not that we didn't love it) We next hopped a plane to Singapore. We moved into "little India" and are spending our days, eating, and ducking out of the rain (Monsoon season is going on). Yesterday was the zoo, but not just any zoo, the zoo that all zoo's should strive to be. It is big and getting bigger, with lots of room for the animals to enjoy, and many of the animals able to roam free range. There was even a Tropical crop exhibit. Check out the picture with me and the wild pineapple!
Looking back over this blog, you may note that it was lots of travel. It was! But so much fun, and so easy with these two amazing ladies to travel with. Sadly Janet leaves in 4 days, but we have lots to do back in Bangkok, so stay tuned.

Sounds like an awesome trip, your mother in law seems to be really cool!
Once you have a bit of experience with what to look for when picking a street stall, you won't get sick again from the food, most stalls are actually cleaner than many hotel kitchens.
