Pad Thai or Die
The water is perfectly clear turquoise, the sand is fine and white, and the mountains are spectacularily luscious and green. We have found paradise. We have become totally relaxed and think we may stay here forever!!! We found a great ‘scuba resort’ and have started our PADI open water dive certification course. Acommodations are not to shabby. We have a beachfront bamboo bungalow. We are really sad that our friends that said they would meet us here were unable to (you know who you all are). But we understand… “it’s to expensive”. I mean our BEACHFRONT BUNGALOW is costing us a whopping $5 a day… Saddle up for Bali guys!!!!!

We have to go to sleep now, because we have to wake up early to scuba dive with whale sharks!!!
Below are a few last pictures from India and the rest from here… Enjoy
While we wait for the photos—— a few weeks ago our ipod broke. It just froze up on us. We tried and tried to fix it. We stared at it hopelessly for hours. How can we make it 7 more months with no music?? and will we have to carry this expensive piece of shit with us??? Believe us when we tell you they dont have apple computers in the internet cafes. Our depression over this issuse has been growing more and more severe. Not only would we not have music, but it was also how we planned on storing our digital photos. Thank god we havent put any on it yet!!!
Well when we arrive here in Koh Toa, paradise answered our prayers (really our curses). We found a british guy here that not only has a mac… but knows how to do computer stuff. It’s not totally a happy ending though. In order to restore our ipod, he had to erase everything on it. So all of our music is gone (and all of Brandans hard work), but at least we have his. And he’s even got LL cool J !! We feel confident saying that the ipod is the most expensive piece of shit we own!!!
INDIA–
Here is Todd being a real man and strapping our bags on top of the bus. please turn head to notice the puke out the window. Like we said, the bus drivers do not stop for sick passengers!!
In India they don’t use silverware- they just smush all the food around and eat with there finger. We figured out how to use pieces of chapati as silverware. We are happy to be using forks again!!

Hello,
I’m a total stranger who just wanted to tell you I’m enjoying reading about your travels. Your India stories brought back lots of memories and your Thailand reports are making me jealous. Koh Tao looks beautiful.
Happy travelling,
Madeline
Pics from Thailand reminds me of Survivor: Thailand on TV 🙂 (At least I think the name was that… Maybe some other locale in Thailand? 🙂
Happy HALLOWEEN!
PS Sorry to hear about your iPod…
Hugs,
Todd, I bought you a new I-pod for your birthday. I’ll just hold on to it until you get back. It sure sounds nice though. I’m glad you two found paradise. I know it’s been tough going from Maui to Thailand. Please try to relax a little. 🙂
hey guys!
glad to hear you’re having a wonderful time – totally jealous!
toddie, peter says watch out for the guys who sneak up and massage you while you’re at the urinals (whatever that means…yikes!) and that you guys should try to head to northern ko pan yang if you get the chance – no scuba, but quiet beautiful beaches.
keep us updated (you’ve been doing a great job so far…)
love and miss you guys – be safe –
xoxo

For all of you folks wondering about where our traveling couple are, I just thought I should let you know that I got an email from Todd today who says that they are doing well, just hanging out in paradise and not wanting to leave koh lanta at all. Sounds like we may find them staying there for a long time….
Damn iPods! I spent countless hours trying to find all those rap classics and the entire collection of Hootie & the Blowfish! Damn you iPod, damn you to HELL!!!
