Sadly our time with Russill had to come to an end.  After 3 weeks traveling around with us it will be sad to see him go, but I’m sure his family misses him and the time we were able to get was a nice treat, so we take what we can get 🙂

We had hoped to get to Railay Beach when he was here, but the weather was not on our side.  The skies have been mostly cloudy with some sunny breaks the past couple of days and the rains come through at night but other than that first day here the rain has not been an issue.  But with the storm that did come through the seas were a little rough and the trip to Railay requires about a 20 minute ride in a longtail boat, so not worth the risk if the water is rough.  In fact I don’t even see the usual crowd of longtails out on the beach like normal, so they may not even be taking people at all.

Instead we get in a little pool time and some wandering around the town, and of course a few good meals and before you know it, it is time to see Russill off.  He and Laurie will be flying up to Bangkok together and spending the night and then he flies out in the morning and Laurie will fly back to Krabi.  We decide to let the kids decide where to go for his last dinner here and they pick a nice spot on the main road.  The girls all get american food, but Russill, adventuring to the end gets in his last Thai dinner.

Thanks for coming along with us Russill, you were a great traveler and the girls had a great time having you around for part of their summer – you are welcome to travel with us anytime!
