My First Trip - Phuket

I went on my first trip to Phuket Thailand on 14th May to 18th May 2010 to celebrate mummy's 30th birthday. Daddy paid for the trip as mummy's birthday present. We left for the airport at 10am on 14th may. Our flight was scheduled at 1pm but we left earlier to have lunch there and checked in early. Mummy latched me on while the plane was moving on the runway to help reduce the pressure on my ears when the plane takes off. Before the plane got up into the sky, i was already asleep. Mummy was relieved to see me sleeping soundly for the next 1 hour plus. The entire flight took 1 hr and 50 mins and when i woke up, mummy quickly stuffed me with my stickers n sticker book to keep me occupied. I was so busy with the stickers and didn't gave mummy any trouble. Upon reaching phuket, we still need to take a 45mins ride to our hotel at Millennium Patong Resort. Once when we checked into the hotel(3pm local time), i was so happy and started exploring the hotel room. Mummy can sense my happiness and i was so relax and looked set on enjoying my holiday. Before going for our dinner at Fuji Japanese Restaurant, i took a long nap. Then we went shopping at Jungceylon shopping mall and the nearby night market. It rained shortly and we went back to the hotel.
On the second day we went to explore the nearby malls and shops. Most of the time, we relaxed in our room and went swimming in the late afternoon. On the 3rd day which is mummy's birthday, we planned a half day tour to elephant trekking, watch monkey show, elephant show and snake show. Then we went to the Cashew Nut factory and also to Wat Chalong temple before ending the day at Phromthep Cape to watch the sunset. I slept throughout the first and last activities of the tour. I didn't realize i ride on an elephant as i slept soundly through the bumpy ride. I only woke up after we stepped off the elephant's back. The weather was really hot and i didn't like to perspire. After the tour we had a rest at the hotel before going to Savoey Restaurant for dinner. On the fourth day, we went to the premium outlet for some shopping. There are many shops there but their stuffs wasn't really cheap and daddy only bought a shirt for himself and a mini soccer ball for me. After that we headed back to the hotel for a swim again and some last minute shopping before we fly back on 18th May.
We woke up real early at 7am on tues, our flight was 10am and we checked out of the hotel 8am. I was very tired as didn't sleep enough and got a bit cranky on the flight back. I fussed for a while and slept a little on the flight. To sum it up, i did enjoy my trip and had fun shopping and some sight seeing. I guessed mummy was the most tired person during the trip because she has to practically run after me most of the time. She carried me along for most of the time as i was being too proud to allow daddy to carry me. Nevertheless, i wish mummy a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I love you and daddy!
