At 6:30 am, Christina and I found our way to the airport for an impromptu plane ride to Trat, the gateway to Koh Chang. We arrived without a place to stay and within a few minutes of getting off the plane, had found a beautiful bungalow just off the beach for three nights. One more night accomodation missing, but we'd worry about that later.
Lagoons, poolside bars, little bridges and pea fowl pepper the resort. Our bungalow is sparse but cute and comes with AC which is REALLY necessary since it is hotter than all get out right now. It feels about 110 and is sticky and we are tired but happy to have found a place. Sorry doggies! Oh, tank tops allowed here just fine. Although locals do not wear them either.
Christina has just about mastered the language. Her inflection is excellent. Mine on the other hand, has something to be desired. I still try though.
Tomorrow we are taking a two hour elephant ride into the mountains. We may be able to bathe them. No monkeys to be seen yet, although Christina has spotted the sign for the Orchid place.
Too hot to continue. And Thank you Sherman for being the only one who comments. We check this daily and appreciate your support. Hint hint.

Hey Christina (and Amy, too, even though we've never met), I can't believe how often you guys have been able to update your blog. Cool. I just got back from our lovely 4 day break and so finally was able to catch up with your adventure, since I couldn't remember your URL until I came to work. Anyhoo, your trip sounds awesome! Thanks for all the details. I envy you the heat (I awoke to frost on the ground, meaning I had to scrape my car windows and worry about my plants - blech) and, now, the wonderful island of Koh Chang. It's fun reading your adventure. Let us know if find the monkeys.
