Merry Christmas

Last year we spent Christmas eve sipping egg nog in front of a fireplace in freezing cold Winnipeg. This year Christmas eve dinner was enjoyed with the family at Baan Rim Pa on Patong Beach. Beautiful setting, amazing view, delicious food and lovely company. Sasha is down with a high fever but she is still worried about Santa being able to locate her. We reassured her that Santa will indeed find her but to make sure, we wrote a letter to Santa and drew him a map of our exact location on the Cape Panwa side of Chalong Bay.

So much has been happening is such a short time. I feel that we barely spent any time in KL before coming out here to Phuket. But the few minutes in KL were well spent catching up with friends and all the relatives during a traditional ceremony held for Dylan and his cousin Eva. Pics will be uploaded soon. I have no idea where the UBS cable for my camera is.

Not doing much in Phuket. The villa we are renting is on the beach so after breakfast Doug, Sasha and I will head down to the pool or the beach, swim a bit, sun alot, head out to the beach cafe for a double hit of fresh coconut and watermelon shake (watermelon juice ice blended), and repeat. We have been to an impressive cultural show, hung out on Patong beach, had many massages (at $15 an hour), and copious amounts of seafood. In 6 days we will have to shovel ourselves back into our home. I am definitely getting as many massages as possible.

Milla is also suffering from a flu! Many kisses for Sasha, please reassure her that Santa is extremely talented when it comes to locating children, even in Asia.

Love to all of you! Tell Doug, being pee pee'd out in Phi Phi is not a bad state to be!
