Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort- Paradise Found!

Today is our last full day on the island of Koh Tao, in southern Thailand. We are heading over to a great little paradise we found - Nang Yuan Island and staying at the only resort on the island. Nang Yuan is a group of three small islands connected by sand bars. It is absolutely STUNNING! We took a longtail boat over this morning while our driver steered with one hand and bailed the boat with the other. No worries, he was a fast bailer. The islands are about 1 km off the shore from Koh Tao. Once we walked in we just knew we wanted to stay. We also went snorkeling while it was early, calm, and mostly deserted. You would not believe the fish. Parrot fish, needle nose fish, clown fish and lots of others we don't know the names of. Julie is doing much better at being still, and in fact today she was so still that a fish pecked her mask. She screamed and was no longer still! You can check out pictures at www.nangyuan.com. Take a look and see what we are seeing. It is paradise! We don't know how long we will stay, depends on when we no longer feel its paradisy enough. We fly from Koh Samui on the 28Th, and then home to Portland on March 1st - only two weeks away Nina! We keep discussing what you are fixing for dinner, all of it sounds heavenly. Please no Pad Thai. Please lots of wine. The Internet here is really spotty, so we can't promise much more from paradise, but please know we are thinking of you. Happy Valentines Day.

I have my "All American" menu planned out. If Julie thinks about it, I am sure she will figure it out. Melissa, I will make sure there are leftovers for you. Yes, lots of wine will definitely be on hand for the "coming home celebration"!. Enjoy your paradise, the pictures of the resort are beautiful.
