Thailand/Cambodia-2008 (more Koh Samet and on the way there - 42 images)
Derek arrranged a two night stay for us at a couple resorts on the quieter side of Koh Samet island. Mom & Keith stayed in the "nicer" one. But Derek felt like they were pretty much the same. Shelby got to get cornrows, which she described as something "on her list of things to do once in her life". Mom (Amber) wasn't thrilled that all subsequent pics would have cornrows, but acquiesced anyway.

I believe Derek, Keith and Shelby all got to snorkel for the first time ever. There actually was a surprising amount of wildlife down there. I got to hear Shelby's squeal pierce the water when she touched a sea cucumber. Other highlights included kayaking, a delicious meal, giant pineapple drinks, scary back of truck ride over bumpy roads to the busier side of the island, and learning that Derek and Keith still wrestle and play grab-ass at their ages. Inspiring.

Also Derek hates Tony Gonzalez for some reason but still considers himself a Chiefs fan. I have to conclude this has something to do with living in Asia for too long. Derek obviously needs a tour in the midwest to correct this severe off-track thinking. Who knows what other parts of his brain could be affected?

Somehow I lost a decent chunk of my pics by my camera overwriting them or something weird. So a lot of these are from Sheby's camera.
