An Update from Thailand

Drew and Colin train to Koh Tao

For those of you who don’t follow me on Twitter or Facebook, know that I arrived safely in Thailand about a week ago.

Here is todays’ (4th of July, 2011) schedule for the Saint John Carnival. I’m kinda bummed we missed the 4 am J’ouvert festival. Oh well, one more reason to come back to the Virgin Islands.
