Getting Started

This post is from Adam Lipson, age 12, sixth grade, White Hill Middle School.

It's only been a few days and the trip is already amazing. We arrived at the Krabi airport after thirty-seven hours of traveling, including thirteen hours between flights. It was a giant relief when we got to our hotel. After a lunch of a few snacks my dad took me and my sister to an open air market down the street. On the way, we passed a snake and monkey show. We went to get a closer look and there was a seven month old monkey being trained! We walked up to it and started talking to the trainer. We even got to hold and pet it! It crawled up my dad's leg right away. I tried to hold it, but it bit me so I had to settle for a few pets. When we were done with the monkey, we walked to the market. There were so many things there including tons of different meats, pineapple on it's stem, fresh seafood, shirts, little pets, coconut cakes (my favorite), and even dragon fruit. It was really fun to explore. After we got back, my whole family went swimming in the pool to cool off. The next day everybody hung out in the pool, and then went to the beach to swim and get dinner. The pad thai was amazing! My mom, sister, and I took a taxi home while my dad stayed out to book a snorkeling trip. Right now, it is the morning before we go and I'm really excited. I have a very good feeling about our trip.
