Sign me up, John...we're not gettin' any younger.
One of the diffs between me 'n Danny: I can sing.
Good day today, relaxed, 2-hour massage, little ride around town before returning our scoots. Found a little logger work going on on a paved path along the river. Back at Rider's Corner now for the BBQ before heading to the airport and Phuket at 9.
Also met Greg Frazier here, he's in for the BBQ. Look him up on any LD Rider forum, 5 times around the world and just ready to start #6.
Lots of other folks here, including 4 guys from Montana, all old high school buddies who ride somewhere together every year.
Next time you hear from us, we'll be in Patong, Phuket, Thailand.
Happy trails.

More cuties:
Then somewhere in the Chiang Mai International Airport there was this scene. Still can't figure why there wasn't a few more of the crowd snapping this Russian gal. I asked if I could take the shot and she said "You need a Thai girl here" I looked around and found none so I told her to make Thai eyes for the picture.
Then about 15 minutes later after getting our luggage checked, these handsome guys made these Orchids look good.

Hey guys, glad the trip is continuing on with lots of fun and adventure! Had a great time catching up with the thread and checking out all the pictures. Keep 'em coming!
Scooter
This space for rent...
George's SPOT shows you walking the beaches over in Pa Tong. The satellite view shows a bunch of dark spots on the beach. Are those huts or something???
Fali, we had a great Mutton Vindaloo the other evening in Chiang Mai. I don't usually go for Mutton, but I'd do this again in an instant.
Had Iranian for dinner tonight, not nearly as good and cost 3 X more.
Scooter, I don't have access to Google Earth so can't say. Only thing we see on the beach is typical of any beach resort area.

Boots on the ground view was of a lot of umbrellas and stacked chairs a tables. The were launching fire driven paper hot air lanterns last night.
See George for the upcoming pics of the beach at night. He has the better camera. All my pics are on the Droid GS3 phone.
We are on our fourth cycle rentals now and are in search of a sail boat that Joe has a contact for.
We are going to need to make a visa run before March 3 after which the consequences may be 1000 baht per day per person.
It might be Myanmar for that in a few days.
Joe is jumping in the water here at the beach bar we are currently at.

Good ride on Yamaha scooters this morning, more power than the Hondas. Our fourth sett of wheels.
Good breakfast at The Breakfast Club in Karon, nicer town than Patong.
Sitting at Ship Inn in Ayona Beach enjoying a relaxed afternoon til our boat rental guy returns.
Here's a couple pics of the beaches including an umbrella shot from this morning

Ahhh, the beach bars with the water as warm as bath water.
Must be serving some pretty stiff drinks at the beach bar, George is upside down taking those pics! LOL!

Not a whole lot has happened since the last post that these pics can't tell.
Just a lot of scooter riding, sun bathing, massage getting, eating, gawking, talking and picture taking. In other words, a perfect day.
We've been discussing all the prep work necessary to get ready for a week on a small 30' catamaran that Capt. Joe found for about 73, 000 baht for the week.
Method of payment, list of provisions to stow aboard, shopping, emergency proceedures as well as showing the novices (me and George) the ropes. It's Joe's first cat skipperage so he'll also need a few tips from the owner, a Netherlander, Max.
I am hoping the sea stays as calm as it's been the last few day because I get sea sick easily. I told Joe that maybe if I can be kept busy I won't have time to think about the motion.

when I was thinking it couldn't get any better ( other than Me being along) I am drooling in anticipation of this sea ride!
there are some seasickness drugs Danny, being scopolamine in small pads attached to the mastoid area ( behind the ear) the most useful, if not available, dimenhidrinate ( Dramamine) would be useful also.

Wishing you all calm seas and also looking forward to this new phase of the adventure! Have fun, take a lots of pictures and above all wishing you a safe journey.
