Beloved: Thailand Day 1

So excited to get out of the freezing cold, we were really looking forward to this trip. We started packing about an hour before the trip and then headed off to the airport for our flight. We met up with Chris and Liz and hung out with them a bit before boarding the plane. Because of all the craziness that happened recently, Thai air only offers flights 3 days a week, so we flew out on Sunday and planned to return on Thursday. The flight was great, it went by pretty quickly, and the food was actually really delicious. We landed and stepped out into heat, it felt so great. We said farewell to the Alford's-they were headed to Chiang Mai- and went to pick up our luggage. When we went through customs I realized that I had no more blank pages for visas, so we added a trip to the US embassy to get more pages sewn in. How cool is that? I used up all my pages :) In Thailand, there's a fee to use the highways, not sure why, but the gov't is making a steal from that fee. 400 Baht later-about $12- we arrived safely at our hotel, the Woraburi Inn. It was nice, our room was cozy and had satellite TV, so we got to watch a ton of the Australian open and some movies. Jeff and I got to the hotel around 6pm, so we thought we'd go for a stroll to get some dinner. Our road that the hotel was on was a HUGE pub street, all kinds of pubs-Irish, British, Danish, Jersey- so we decided on Hanharan's, I think an Irish pub. We got some buffalo wings, chicken burger, and a beer and watched some soccer games. After that, we took to the streets to walk around on the night market.After a while of seeing the same things, we decided to call it a night, we were a little sleepy and had to get up early to get all of our errands done so we could enjoy the other three days while the visa was getting ready. Headed back to the hotel and hit the sack at 11pm.
