VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA
THE MILLER'S ARE BACK!!
Brett, Rich and Sheri met me and the Ship in Vancouver and are joining for eight days of FUN!!
We met up at the cruise terminal and rented City bikes, soaking up the sunshine and riding through the massive Stanley Park, then along the beaches and across a bridge to go over to the neighborhood of Granville Island.

Later after dinner, it was still light enough to walk downtown and see some more sights. What a great city, with friendly people!

We just relaxed on the Island of Koh Chang, Thailand. It's one of the largest Thai Islands in the Gulf of Thailand and it has a dense, steep jungle & National Park covering the interior of the Island, which extends off shore, to coral reefs. The coast line is dotted with beaches and villages. This was a tender port, so we decided to stay on the Island for 3 nights, to be able to experience the nightlife. Turns out, it is low season, so nightlife was pretty sleepy. However, we did find a new favorite night time activity! Any Guesses?!?
Love Sea Days ! I got a much needed haircut and color. Think I'll be going shorter, but giving this a whirl! Can you see the back in the mirror? The bangs and side volume, is what drives me nuts in the heat and humidity!
Wat Bang Kung Temple was a quick stop along the way to the Train Markets . What makes this unique is the Temple is completely enclosed by roots of four giant trees (a banyan, bodhi and others). From the outside, it looks like nature has swallowed the building. Inside the chapel is a golden Buddha image, that locals still visit to pray. It was quite active during our short visit there. The Temple dates back over 250 years and survived the Burmese invasion.
