Phuket...in Phuket

So, it’s been almost a year since my first blog and I’ve actually received some good feedback, so if this sucks, I blame all of you for your blatant encouragement, which I really do appreciate more than you know.  I named my original blog “Phuket, I’m going to China”, out of complete ignorance of where Phuket was.  It was obviously a dirty “play on words”, as I have a rather filthy mouth, but what else do you expect from me!!

Now I am really going to Phuket (actually I’m already here).  It makes my title either really clever or that of an ignorant American who doesn’t actually know geography that well.  Even though I know it’s the latter, I will continue under this name.

I got to spend a month at home which was a crazy cluster of visitations, but so wonderful to see everyone.  I got the chance to go to 2 amazing weddings, which was super fun.  I was also overloaded with trying to catch up, rekindle, and pack for my next adventure.  During that time I went to Myrtle Beach. We had an amazing time, giant Ferris wheel, boat-tubing in a lake, and a helicopter ride.

My New Boyfriend

This guy was staying at the hotel, too.

On the last day of the trip we weren’t checking out until later that evening.  I went downstairs to the pool around 4.  As I entered the pool an inebriated guest thought doing a cannonball in 4ft water was a super idea.  In order to make sure not a drop of that pool water landed in my cocktail, I took a step to the left off a 3 inch drop (which I did not know was there.)  I fell and twisted my ankle pretty good.  (Side Note:  I did not spill my drink!!)   As many of you know, I walked and danced on that foot until the day before I left when I decided maybe I should have it checked out before I head to Thailand.  It was still so swollen.  I knew this was an injury cankle, not just a fat person cankle.  So, yes, I broke my ankle/foot in 2 places.  A fracture in my tibia, as well as my fibula.  It’s not in a “weight bearing” place which is why I can walk on it.  I got an air cast (boot), which I have to wear for 2 weeks.  O’Well, what can you do.

I will start off my trip to Thailand saying that 16 hours in Economy Class sucks.  It sucks a lot.  I do not recommend it to anyone.  I made it here with no problems though, other than that.

The hotel I’m staying at it great, and it will be the one I will stay at for the remainder of my stay in Phuket.  It’s called the All Seasons Naiharn Phuket.

I also made my first friend.  He was in the bathroom, so I took him outside where he belonged.

Not a Huge Fan :(
