On Saturday we took a van to the Phuket airport which was an hour long drive. The driver had Wi-Fi in the van though! So the ride went by quick! Oh and it finally rained to break up some of this humidity. We got to the Phuket airport for our last domestic flight and I … Continue reading Back in Bangkok

Travel Day Back to Phuket…Sketchiest Ferry Rides

November 10, 2017July 18, 20181 Comment

We had a nice relaxing morning in our air conditioned room which made the windows fog up because it was so humid outside. Like even the key hole outside the room had condensation on it. This was the temp at 11 am... Hella sticky. We went for our free breakfast at the hotel and it … Continue reading Travel Day Back to Phuket…Sketchiest Ferry Rides

If you ever want peace and quiet and a nice break away from life... Koh Lanta is the answer. I've never seen such a quiet place before. We started the day off with packing up our stuff AGAIN. Not going to miss that part of backpacking. We went and grabbed a quick brunch then checked … Continue reading Oh My Lanta…We’re in Koh Lanta

Beach Day in Phuket

November 5, 2017July 18, 2018Leave a comment

Time to head to the Beach!! It's crazy knowing that even though this beach here in Phuket is really nice, that tomorrow we will be in the bluest water ever in Koh Phi Phi. The water here at Patong is really nice too just not as clear as it will be. I have no complaints … Continue reading Beach Day in Phuket

Phuket here we come! Or not... We woke up at 3:30am and got ready for our 2 hour flight from Chiang Mai to Phuket. We waited and waited for an uber to show up. Finally he showed up and was the sloooowest driver. We ended up checking in less than 45 minutes before our flight … Continue reading Pooooooket!

I can't believe I'm already halfway done this contract 😯!!! It's going by WAY too fast ⏱. I'm loving the West coast life and I'll be super sad to leave the ocean 😭. Making the most of it while I'm here 😍!! Do you think a three week contract is too short 🤔?? I have mixed feelings! • • • #talltreestrail #talltrees #princerupert #ypr #northernbc #hellobc #visitprincerupert #westcoastbestcoast #pnw #pacificnorthwest #visitnorthernbc #cityofrainbows #britishcolumbia #canada #travelcanada #canadiannurse #canadiantravelnurse #travelnurse #gypsynurseadventures #gypsynurse #travelnurselife #travelnursing #selectmedicalconnections #travelnurseca #travelnursecanada #thetalesofhales
