Our Last Full Day on Koh Yao Yai...

We all fought over this spot every day!


Our AMAZING bungalow at the incredible Koh Yao Yai Village Resort on the breathtaking island of Koh Yao Yai in gorgeous Phang Nga Bay (Gulf of Thailand)
Our last full day here... sigh... before reality starts putting it's ugly grip back on us! What an INCREDIBLE adventure it has been! One for the record books! We are all very sad that we have to go. Especially Jen. She was a little blue today, but Charlie surprised her when he went to the reception desk & arranged for them to plant a "water tube" tree on the last day (something that Jen had continually admired along the trail walk from the restaurant to our bungalow every day). This meant the world to Jen & really perked her up! It will be so awesome to come back in a few years to see how big our tree has gotten. It was planted right in front of bungalow number 106 so we will have to stay in that one instead of 502 on our next trip! We celebrated our last night by drinking Singha & smoking cigars in our sarongs & robes! Jen was able to hold back the tears most of the last day until the incredible staff (our new friends) at Koh Yao Yai Village all waved goodbye, then the tears began to roll. We will be counting the days until we are able to go back! We look forward to posting more photos when we get back to make this blog a "feast for the eyes" & of course seeing our wonderful friends again & sharing more details & stories! Til then...
P.S. Jen's Bangkok airport saga for her lost souvenirs begins it's final chapter tomorrow... stay tuned for the highlights (or lowlights - depending on the outcome)... Wish her luck!

ROCKIN' our sarongs!


Our "water tube" tree!

We can't wait to come back & see how it's grown!


Saying goodbye to our new friends... it was NOT easy!
