Phuket was an amazing place to visit. I was a little apprehensive about what it would be like, maybe I read too many travel guides. I was expecting to be struck down by all kinds of nasty travellers bugs, bitten by mossies, snakes, dogs and monkeys, not to mention having to dodge locals trying to scam foreigners like us. But, what do you now, all that worrying was for nothing (the story of my life) and we had the best ever time. The resort where we stayed was just perfect - The Centara Grand in Karon Beach had everything you could possibly need and more. The kids had a ball with all the swimming pools, water slides and their very own lazy river - in fact we hardly saw them. We took a trip out to Phi Phi Islands for some swimming and snorkelling and to visit Maya Bay where the movie "The Beach" was filmed. Such amazing scenery! We shopped, had massages, manicures, pedicures and rode elephants..... a perfect holiday!! Special thanks to my lovely cousins for organising the whole thing.

Phuket - Holiday Perfection.
We counted down to our holiday in Phuket for weeks, okay maybe it was months, but here we are, home again and it's all just a distant memory. But what a great memory it is to store away. We holidayed with my cousins and their families. There is only six months between us and growing up we always had such a lot of fun whenever we got together and this was no exception. It was so great to see our kids having the same kind of fun together that we used to have and building family memories that will last another generation.
