January 25th, 2013 - Moving in to our Apartment in Panwa (Or, That Time I Battled Legions of Spiders)

Geogirl and I moved into our new apartment today in Panwa. We had to check out of the hotel at noon and go somewhere, so we were very lucky to find an apartment so quickly.

Mike and Nuno were kind enough to pick us up in their car early this afternoon and carry our bags in for us (which is no small feat, I’m ashamed to say—but in my defense, I really did need the tool kit and first-aid kit and all those other very important things that resulted in my bag weighing in at seventy-five pounds).

January 23rd, 2013 - Looking at a Villa in Rawai

We went to see a villa in Rawai today with Nuno and Mike. Have we mentioned Nuno and Mike yet? They are agents/owners of Phuket Rental Properties (now SuperHolidayVillas) and have been helping us find a place to stay here. I’ll type up a more detailed review later, but the point is: these guys are awesome.

And guess what? Geogirl and I rode on the backs of scooter bikes in the streets of Rawai without helmets and we lived to tell about it! Yep, this must be what it feels like to be a badass.
