Today was our first full day on Koh Phi Phi Island. I managed to get a whole 5 hours of sleep last night! Joanna woke up a little after me at 5:30. We considered going out to the beach and watching the sunrise but it was cloudy and windy outside.
I still can’t shake this jet lag. Yesterday, I tried staying up as late as possible so I could sleep longer last night but I still woke a little after 3am.
I’m pretty pissed about today, but I’ll tough through it and get this blog post out before I run out of steam.
The flight to Bangkok went really smoothly. I think it took about 25 hours to get to our final destination where we flew LAX > SF > Hong Kong > Bangkok.
About 80% of a vacation for Joanna and me is spent seeking out new foods to eat. The other 20% is time in between meals until we get hungry again or find another tasty thing to try. Today was no exception.
Last night was rough. They tried taking off twice but decided against it due to an electrical problem. We taxied back to the gate but they wouldn’t let us off the plane because it was past 11pm and the airport was closed.
Today is the day our vacation ends. We’ve done so many things, seen many sights, and eaten many foods.
Yesterday was our last full day in Tokyo. I had originally planned it so that we could do our trip and have ample time back in Tokyo to shop for Joanna’s makeup needs, clothes for me at Uniqlo (like Japanese GAP), and whatever snacks and souvenirs to bring back home. That way we didn’t have to carry stuff during the entire trip.
Yesterday morning was amazing in its own way at Shimofujia ryokan. The previous night they told us that we needed to check out at 9:30.
Super early morning yesterday. To make the final bus to the Shiobara onsen town at 3pm we had to wake up at 4:30 and catch a taxi at 5:15 to make it to Sapporo station to catch the first train out of town at 6am. We arrived so early in fact that the station wasn’t even open yet.
