Honeymoon

Our honeymoon to Thailand and Singapore was spectacular! Thanks Pat and Vanna! =) We started with a week and Singapore and were able to see some fantastic sights! We visited Chinatown, Little India, The Night Safari, Sentosa Island, and Fort Siloso. We also ate some delicious food - Singapore is famous for their street vendors, called Hawker Stands, and these have the best food in Singapore. It is also an immaculate country. It is illegal to chew gum because they want to keep their streets clean. For the most part, Singaporeans are extrememly feriendly and LOVE Americans.

Thailand is the extreme opposite of Singapore in terms of cleanliness! It is definitely a poor country, but they make up for it with friendliness. We were so impressed with the Thai people! They were eager to please and grateful for your business. The beaches in Thailand are absolutely beautiful. We went to the Phi Phi Islands (pronounced pee pee) by way of speedboat. This was one of the scariest rides of our lives because of the winds and choppy water! We made it in one piece though and were able to visit Monkey Beach, the beach in the bay where the movie The Beach was filmed, and the beautiful island of Koh Phi Phi. We also visited a Muslim Gypsy Sea Village and the island where the James Bond movie The Man With the Golden Gun was filmed.

It was an amazing trip and a great way to end our wedding festivities!
