Got up Tuesday morning at 6 to make it to the dive boat. Took a shower, then Deb got up and started calling for me to get out of the bathroom. There was a pretty big cockroach on the wall. Tried to get it with a shoe but missed. Deb was pretty upset, she just hates the damn things. Well, off it went to my dive trip, Deb went down to the desk to get something done about her little friend. They couldn't do too much but give her some spray and after a bit, they gave us a new room. Deb couldn't wait for them to show up and move everything, so she packed up and took our stuff to the new room (just next door).
When I got back, she met me at the dive shop and told me all about her adventure with her little friend. We went back to our room, got showered up and went in to town to have some supper and pick up the pictures from the camera I rented. Some actually turned out OK. Back home to bed (CNN doesn't work on the TV tonight so we watched chinese news, in chinese of course).
Up in the morning for a little friend check, none around, so Deb felt safe in getting out of bed ;-). Had some breakfast, and the internet still doesn't work so I'll post this from an internet cafe in town. I might even book another dive trip tomorrow.
Love to all Ken and Deb.
(I'll have to wait until we get to Phuket or back to Bangkok to post more pictures)

Your trip has become more and more adventuresome. It is always the little obstacles and navigations that make the best memories. I remember that Deb hates cockroaches and often thought to myself when she would encounter her first one on your trip. They can be a little unsettling. Enjoy those dives!!
Hey Deb, look at it this way, if the most fearful thing that happens to you this trip is the cocky-roachy, well... things could be worse!, but I remember all too well how much you dislike those creatures. Remember, when we had the bed turned over in Kailua when you (and Fay) saw your first roach? Ken, you so nicely write up your continuing adventure. Sounds like many interesting things, sites and people along the way. I hope you are enjoying your dives. The water must feel good with those hot days. It is unseasonally cool here - in fact we just had a pretty fierce hail storm, but now the sun is out - tupical Vancouver spring (good news is cherry trees and daffodils in bloom). So best of luck with you stay on the islands, and continue fun to both of you! Take care and travel safe,

hahaha...poor mommy:) Getting kicked by a horses or thrown from a horse would hurt more then a roach running across your leg!
