We successfully left behind the luxury of my sisters' villa at the Sheraton on Phuket Island and took the ferry to Ko Phi Phi about 2 hours east. It's nice here, but a little bit too much MTV beach party and not enough deep blue ocean. Phi Phi was seriously damaged by the big tsunami two years ago, but because lots of fancy schmancy resorts and rich college kids like to come here for honeymoons or spring break like getaways, the place is recovering quickly.
Tomorrow we're going on a snorkling trip, which could be hit or miss but we came across some friends we met in India several weeks ago and they told us it was a really good trip. It will take us to the island where Leo DiCaprio's movie The Beach was filmed, if you've ever seen it, which is the island of Ko Phi Phi Leh, Phi Phi Don's sister island a short boat trip away.
