Jet Lag

Wow, jet lag really wiped us out! Actually the kids seem to be okay with Tyler back to normal the quickest. Joshua gets up very early (5am today) but he is basically on Pacific time. Hector is all messed up...we went to see my mom yesterday for her birthday and we fell asleep at her house for a few hours. I went to bed after midnight last night and woke up at 9:45 am feeling refreshed. Hector tried to fall asleep but no luck for him. He went to sleep as soon as I woke up so he is still out of sync.

We arrived in Phuket on Wednesday August 23rd and we spent the first 2 days relaxing by the pool and catching up on sleep. It was really cute that our washcloths were folded into the shape of elephants. In Thailand, elephants are revered creatures as we see elephants all over Phuket. On Thursday, we had a half day tour of Phuket which was kinda cool. We were able to see other parts of Phuket like Rawai beach which is the south part of the island. Sunset Point is a very popular spot to watch the sunset and the spectacular view. Go up higher and there is a shrine to elephants where people place elephant figurines. There is also some kind of monuments but I missed what they are. Hector would be interested in that kind of history/facts but Joshua fell asleep & Hector was stuck holding him.

For the first few days, we had plenty of sunshine and it was hot/humid. It took me lots of fluid and A/C to acclimate but I was glad to get some good pics. The rest of our stay was overcast & rainy at times which kind of cools things down briefly. The A/C was always blasting in our rooms and at night I had to turn them down or off because we would be freezing. Every time we's take a camera outside, the lens would fog up and we'd have to wait for it to adjust.
