Welcome to the islands? Our apartment has been ours since Dec but we have still not moved in. It has been having renos, since Nov?, and they wanted to wait till we arrived, to clean. Good idea.But maybe the day before or so. Not 3 days after we arrived. We have been staying at out friend, our DEAR friend Norm's home, an apartment directly bellow by 5 floors. If we didn't have Norm's, and Phil's and Mem's incredible generosity (they are all at their places in Pukhet and just leave their place open for us!!!! island hospitality!) this would be an even more expensive move, with hotel downtown and taxis back and forth. But it is 6:30 a.m. and I await a decent hour to start moving our things up. We have our suitcases, plus some basics from IKEA and Mustafa- some bedding, towels, some kitchen stuff. We did buy beds, chairs, some stuff at IKEA but it will be delivered Sunday.
Our friends Rod, and Nancy arrive before our beds, ( to host them in OUR place), so we all will be at Norm's apartment and will be overbooked for a night or so. I'm sure Norm will figure that out. He is our guardian angel.
My pain has come back, and my right hand is almost useless. BUT went to the aesthetics salon in our complex, and had a very good massage (lots of work on TCM pressure points) and feel better for that. It is about same price as home ($60) but location can't be beat. I can see it from the balcony.
We, me too, are off to Tiger Air this morning. We are also going to be moving our stuff up to 2305 and putting stuff away, although continuing to sleep here (1508 Norm's) until our beds and mattresses arrive Sunday.
