After much research and debate, we have determined it is, in fact, Thursday morning here in Thailand. It was a loooong trip, longest either of us have ever gone through but we made it Koh Samui, Thailand (an island off the East Coast in the Gulf of Thailand) yesterday morning. Koh Samui is like the Kauai of the Thai islands, known for its resorts, which we planned to take full advantage of by staying our first week and most "honeymoony" spot at the Four Seasons Samui. I'll give you a glimpse of the end goal, then tell you a bit about our journey...

Sunday night, in a post-wedding stupor and/or depression, we packed our bags wondering "how are we sitting here folding socks in our apartment alone, when 24 hours ago we were raging on the dance floor with 150 of our friends and family having the best time of our lives?". Allison picked us up on Monday, took us to SFO, and we boarded a flight for Seoul, South Korea at 2 pm Pacific. After a 12 hour flight of free movies and an Ambien induced drool session, we made a one hour dumpling stop in Seoul. 6 more hours to Singapore where we arrived at 1 am wide awake, with 6 more hours to kill. We walked 4 miles around the airport just for the sake of walking, took showers (which were incredibly nice, with tile floors and rainfall shower heads), enjoyed the free wifi, and finally boarded our flight to Koh Samui, Thailand at 7 am.

We arrived in Koh Samui at 9 am, exhausted but ready to finally start the adventure. Our entrance to the hotel was the best "lobby" I've ever seen, overlooking the entire hillside resort and 60 villas. We spent the afternoon enjoying our own private pool, exploring the beach, and a "Bounty of Thailand" dinner in a zombie-like sleep deprived state. We learned "medium spicy" means "make honkey mans and wife sweat". Finally we got 8+ hours of sleep, after sleeping upright in public for the last 36 hours.

| So happy to be in Thailand! |
Today we fulfilled our vows by sharing breakfast on our deck in our room and will likely not leave the resort today. We feel rested and relaxed, and ready to begin our adventure. Thank you to everyone who made our wedding so special, and even contributed to our honeymoon fund. It will be well used and enjoyed to the fullest. Love you all and miss you!
