After a great start to Bangkok yesterday, we woke up this morning eager and ready to get back out there and enjoy more of the beautiful city. We woke up a little after 6 AM. I went for a run at the gym and we were down at breakfast at the St. Regis a little before 8 AM. One of the other perks we got when booking the hotel through American Express was free breakfast. And wow was that a perk at this hotel.

We are coming down the home stretch. I cannot believe that we're on our second to the final stop on this grand adventure. After five days and four nights in the beautiful coastal town of Phuket, today we were off back to another big city, the capital of Thailand, Bangkok. We woke up at 6 AM and were off to the airport at 8 AM after packing our bags and checking out of the hotel. 

Today will easily go down as the shortest recap I write for this trip. During the first two weeks of our grand adventure, we pushed hard to experience and enjoy as much as possible. For the last five we've made sure to relax as much as humanly possible, and none more than today. We didn't get out of bed until 9 AM and even after I went for a run we were too lazy to go to the restaurant so we ordered room service for breakfast. Jenn and I both got the waffles and split some breakfast potatoes. 

This morning we woke up to one of the most beautiful mornings on the trip. I pulled open the curtains in our pool villa at a little after 7 AM and the sun was shining, birds were chirping (which Jenn loves) and there was a beautiful reflection coming off of our pool. It was one of those moments that I tried to take a mental picture of to remember when this trip is done. Speaking of we just hit 2 and a half weeks on the trip with only one week to go and that's starting to make us both sad. But enough of that, we had more relaxing to do today. 

I don't think I understood how badly I needed these five days in Phuket until this morning. We both didn't wake up until a little after 7 AM and I didn't get out of bed until after 9 AM which was glorious. Exactly what the doctor ordered. When I couldn't stand laying in bed anymore I went out in search of the gym, which for such a large hotel is super small. Luckily no one is working out in paradise so I had the gym to myself. On the way back to the room I grabbed a cappuccino at the small cafe on sight and came back to the room to get ready for the day. 

There's no doubt that we've been excited for each and every stop on this Grand Adventure so far. Today though we had a little extra pep in our step when we woke up knowing that for the next four days we'd be stopping all tours and just relaxing. More on that in a bit. Before we could relax we had to wake up at 5 AM to make our 8 AM flight from Siem Reap to Phuket, Thailand. We were down in the lobby at 6:30 AM with our bags ready to go to the airport.
