Final 3 nights in Thailand

For the last 3 nights in Thailand we stayed in Phuket at Indigo Pearl. When we pulled up it was wierd because there were guards that walked around the taxi with the mirrors that look under the car, like we were on a military base or something. Then we were taken to our room by golf cart while a 2nd cart was needed just for our luggage. The building the room was in wasn't all that impressive, I was beginning to wonder about where we were staying. But once we walked inside, we knew we were at a beautiful hotel. We had a private salt water pool and they even set it up for our honeymoon.
While we were on Nai Yang beach we ate dinner on the beach, got 3 massages (1 was 2 hours), and went scuba diving. While we were scuba diving Brad pointed out an octopus to me and I saw an eel swimming between 2 areas of coral so I got to watch him for longer than I've ever seen an eel out in the open. For our last meal in Thailand we ate at one of the hotel's restaurants, The Rivit. It had such a cool atmosphere. We were the only 2 people in the whole restaurant so the service was phenomenal. They filled our water constantly, used white gloves when they came to reset our utensils or switch out for different knives.

Nai Yang was nice and quiet and we could walk everywhere. There weren't any stores, but after all the shopping in Chiang Mai that is probably a good thing. This was a beautiful way to end our honeymoon.

From the time we left our last hotel, Indigo Pearl, until we arrived at our front door, travel time was 40 hours and 14 minutes. 40 hours included a 9 hour layover in Tokyo and a 6 hour lay over in L.A. Needless to say, Brad and I were spent and it was straight to sleep for us.

A wonderful honeymoon to start our lives together.
