April 3-4: Chased the sun in the plane. We caught it but lost 14 hrs. It took us about 24 hours or so to get there. Also, joined a club in the air. ;)
April 5-9 Phuket, Thailand
April 5: Shopping (we did lots of this throughout the trip). I also took a Thai Cooking Class this day. I learned how to cook Tom Yum Goon, Kao Put Gai, and Chicken Satay. Then, we swam at the beach.
April 6: Caught a bus to Phuket City where we saw their Butterfly Garden and Insect World and also went to the mall. We tried going to a club this night, but clubbing in Thailand is a bit different than in America.
So we went expecting to dance and people are just drinking with really loud music in the background. So we didn't stay long.April 7: We woke up with a little bit of a scare this morning. All the hotel staff had left because there was an earthquake in Indonesia. Last time this happened the Tsunami happened in Thailand and so everyone left without warning any of the guests. Sad, but true. "Every man for himself." Since no one actually knew if a tsunami would happen we were basically waiting for word to evacuate with our stuff packed. After a few hours, everything was fine so we went with our original plans of the day which were to go on an Amazing Canoeing Day Trip.
They took us kayaking 
and to lots of different islands. It was nice, but John got burnt and therefore...April 8: John was sick due to second degree burns on his skin. He didn't put lotion on...or very little. So we rested a lot this day and got massages and then saw "Date Night" at the movies.
April 9: Travel day... took a flight to Bangkok and then went to the train station so we could get a sleeper train to Chiang Mai. We spent 5-6 hrs at the train station waiting for our train, so we were a little bored, but we met "Brock."
Brock was from England and was spending his time backpacking Southeast Asia. He kept us entertained for a few hours. We call him Brock because we never actually exchanged names. At some point during our conversation we decided we would give each other fake names because it sounded fun. We named him Brock and he named us Simon and Petunia. lol.The sleeper train was actually pretty nice. We slept in a bed on the train as we traveled to Chiang Mai and didn't have to pay for a hotel for the night. Plus, it wasn't very expensive.
April 10-16 Chiang Mai, Thailand
April 10: Arrived in Chiang Mai and spent the rest of the day relaxing and then shopping.
April 11: Went to the mall, then swimming at hotel pool, and finally shopping at the night bazaar.
April 12: This day we went on a zipline tour throughout the Jungle. It was called Jungle Flight and it was pretty cool. Ended the day with shopping again...shocking.
April 13: First day of Song Kran.
If you don't know what this is then I'm sorry to hear it, but this really should be an international thing. Song Kran is how Asia celebrates their new year. It originally began as a "ceremony" where the elders would pour water on the younger as a symbol of passing on to the younger generation (or something like that), but over time it became a large national water fight! Basically, the entire country shuts down and everyone has an enormous water fight. Seriously. Not kidding. It is the coolest thing ever.
April 14: Water battle continues.
April 15: Last day of Song Kran. Watched concert and got wet, of course.
April 16: Travel day...flight to Bangkok, bus to Cambodia border, taxi to Siem Reap.
April 17-19 Siem Reap, Cambodia
April 17: Angkor Wat Day Trip. This is our tuk tuk driver that drove us around all day to see Angkor Wat.
This is John at one of the temples.
April 18: Shopped, Swam, Ate.
April 19: Caught bus to Sihanoukville. Checked in to new hotel and swam.
April 20-22 Sihanoukville, Cambodia
April 20: Entire day at the beach, lounging and what not. Many people walk around with stuff or services when you're on the beach. I got a pedicure for $3, while on the beach. Awesome. John also got his nails trimmed (thank goodness).
April 21: Spent another day at the beach. Dinner on the beach at night was very nice. Also, another must...coconut shakes.
April 22: Basically, everything in Sihanoukville was beach so yes, another day relaxing at the beach.
April 23-34 Phnom Penh, Cambodia
April23: Caught bus to Phnom Penh. Last time to shop or get anything else we wanted...so that's what we did.
April 24: Caught plane back to San Francisco :( but we got to see our kids again :)
So that was our trip. We had a lot of fun and really enjoyed ourselves. It was much needed. Hopefully, we'll be making another trip like this soon. Maybe even with our kids next time.
