Phuket Trip - The Beginning

We decided that our first Blog entry should be about our latest travel adventure. We just spent 10 days in sunny Phuket, Thailand. Although we have been to the mainland many times on mission trips, this was our first experience as tourists on a very touristy island. We spent our days lazing by the pool at the resort on Karon Beach, shopping and dining at street restaurants. It was the perfect way to relax after a busy 9 months.
