After spending a week on Phuket that was intended to be spent on smaller, more idyllic Koh Phi Phi Don, I finally boarded a ferry toward Maya Bay, aka The Beach. The first person I spoke with, before the ferry even left, was Josie from Canada, and her friend Catherine.
In addition to the company of two attractive French Canadians, I also had the chance to meet Nate, a fellow travel blogger (Ubertramp.com) who was working in a dive shop on the island.
For an island that was devastate by the massive tsunami, it was hard to tell so much destruction had occurred. I know it wasn't easy, but it was clear that locals and expats alike were quick to try and put the pieces back together again.

Next on the itinerary, an impromptu trip to Ko Tao with my new Canadian friends.
You've got an awesome site here. I just found it and have taken a look at everything you have here.
I've just recently began to travel a bit and am loving it.
Thanks for the great content.
