Getting to the hotel room

We started at around 5 pm, running late, we thought. Because we always ran late. Rushed to the train station because we had a small luggage. We reached the airport shortly after 6pm for the 9.10 pm flight. And to our distress the flight was delayed by an hour. Still we patiently waited in the airport shopping and taking photos. One of hubby's friends who travelled with us asked us how much memory we had in our camera. May be he noticed the crazy way I was shooting, even before we left the airport. But I had enough memory for a 2 week's trip, let alone the 2 days plan!

The low cost flight we had picked up was anything but quality, but we hardly noticed anything, given the excitement of visiting another country. Finally we reached the Phuket airport at midnight. I should say that I was surprised by the small size and uncleanliness at the airport. And we had to wait for another 45 minutes before getting visa clearance for the group.

Yes, we travelled in a group. We booked out tickets and hotel rooms together and chose to do whatever we want later.

The taxis we had arranged were waiting for us and off we were taken to the Resort. I was already feeling so tired and sleepy. Still I wanted to talk about some completely off topics. But hubby was still excited about being in a new country and wanted to see whatever he could find on the way. So he thought I was talking crap. I knew what he thought and I SHUT-UP!!

After an hour's ride, we reached the hotel. The receptionist, who had been waiting for our "hour-delayed" arrival, was impatient to get back homeand tried to send us off to our rooms, all in a hurry.

But the room was heavenly. Some of the notable features are...
A flat screen TV (they thought we were gonna watch TV all day)
A big balcony with day bed
A mini bar
A bath tub, a rain shower
And a window between the room and bathroom which had no lock!

We liked the room immediately but we knew we wouldn't have enough time to enjoy the room.

Though we hadn't planned exactly what we should do during the trip, we knew that we had 2 main islands to visit, and many water sports to do. We knew that 2 days were not enough.
