Weekend getaway

This weekend we were invited to our friend Stefan's 40th birthday celebration in Phuket. It is nice to be able to fly to more destinations using staff travel. We had no problems at the check in - everything went nice and smooth.

We have done a lot of traveling in the past 6 months but going somewhere new (not Japan not NZ) made all of us so excited! The boys were certainly happy for their special weekend away, especially Oliver "We are going on a holiday!" And they were dressed in the right kind of clothes - with elephants on their t-shirts! (Thank you Mako).



We are off!



When we went through to board we found out our flight would be delayed for 30min or so :( For an hour and a half flight waiting an extra 30min on the ground felt a bit silly...





Because the resort Stefan booked us in was a bit far away from the city center and the most popular area in Phuket it took almost as long as the flight from Singapore in the taxi. But we finally got there!

We checked out the pool area first:





The resort has only 19 units and each was very roomy. Some had a swimming pool on the balcony, or movie room or huge outside balcony etc. We got a very nice family unit with roomy kitchen and nice bath.







By the time we got the boys ready for a quick dip before dinner the sun came down and it was just beautiful! I truly fell into the resort spirit :)



Two very happy boys:





So relaxing...



How hungry were we!? The restaurant staff were very curious...We ordered both Western and Thai food to try out. It was all so good!



You can eat some extra when you are looking out at this stunning view in front of you!
