Bu Bu Island, Thailand


This year we easily let the holiday season slip by... We needed a break! Seems like every year we talk about just escaping to some semi-deserted tropical island in lieu of all that holly jolly hoopla--so being that we were in Thailand, we finally got the chance. Maybe some of the following images will give you the idea of what occupied us for the last three weeks?


Bu Bu Island on the right in glassy waters: a few bungalows, cafe & bar, and a nature trail with numerous beaches to discover. This year, Bu Bu made the Lonely Planet so maybe it will be a golf course or something, but for now its like a miniature national park.

We were told "there are no poisonous creatures on Bu Bu." Tierra kicked this guy out of our bungalow.

We did a quiet Christmas in St Croix, USVI a couple of years ago and the lack of festivities was refreshing. A bit more "civilized" than where you are, but the concept is similar.

I am exceedingly envious!
