We have arrived in Phuket, Thailand!
We took a one hour Thai Airways flight to Phuket and I must
say that Asia flights are so much better than U.S flights. Even their lounges
are amazing and have great food! I was able to spend some time at the lounge
and got my first ever Thai ramen! (We all know how much I love ramen!)
We are staying at the Westin in Phuket and to our luck, none
of the rooms we booked were available so we got upgraded twice to our own
villa! We basically have our own house at the Westin and we have our own
private pool and deck! What a great surprise- we can’t wait to ring in the new
year in our own private villa!
Once settled in, and after a quick dip in the pool, we were
finally ready to explore the island of Phuket. We took a cab to the Night
Market where we spent the entire night shopping and eating!
We got a good amount of shopping done and burned through a
good amount of baht! The food was vast
and interesting and very delicious- we stuffed ourselves per usual. Seafood,
drinks, mango sticky rice, etc. you name it, we probably had it. One thing about the food at the night market is that all the sauces they put on their food is really spicy!!
I even saw them extracting cane juice straight from the cane! It reminded me of my daddy because it is his favorite!
I would say, however, the only thing that Eric tried that I
didn’t have the courage to was a batch of fried crickets!!! There was a stand
with a bunch of different insects (grasshoppers, cockroaches, spiders, etc.)
and Eric decided to order some crickets! I could barely watch him eat
it….
After his yummy snack, we went to a nearby lounge to relax
and soak in the sights of the night. We vowed to take this trip to Phuket as
more of a relaxing trip where we can rest up before the rest of our adventure
packed journey.
We are missing our family and hope that everybody at home is
having a good holiday season. Stay tuned for our New Year’s Eve Day!
