In Just Two Weeks

Things can change in a blink of an eye, or in our case in "just two weeks."  It was only 14 days ago that Ron, John and I flew to Krabi to spend some family time together scuba diving and seeing a new part of Thailand.  We enjoyed it so much that we wanted to take David, who is living here while working an internship.  We packed our suits, regulators and a few clothes and headed south for a three day weekend.

Many things can change in just a short time...

 Getting on Board for our diving adventure

Chicken Head

Two weeks ago the sun was shining and the sea was clam.  Today the thunderstorm clouds were visible and once we left the protected bay the water was a rocking and rolling!  But, still any day you get to dive in paradise is a great day.  That us until you get in the water and the visibility is about 8 feet.  It was hard to see the dive master, hard to see the aquatic life and hard for me to really enjoy the three dives.  Still, we did see some amazing small undersea life.  I saw a beautiful seahorse, some nudibranches - and one of the dives sites had an interesting rock formation, called chicken head.

John is up and out!

 That was on Saturday...then on Sunday afternoon we decided to take a little scooter ride to see the beauties of Krabi and then the unexpected thunderstorm lead to this...

John slid off the road and was extremely lucky to not to have been injured worst then he was.  The ambulance was a small pick up truck with no medical supplies - only the back board.  It was a crazy time - the ambulance - aka TRUCK left with John for the government hospital with out either one of us and with NO passport or ID.  Ron quickly asked if one  of the young Thais that stopped to help would take show him the way to the hospital while David and I waited for the scooter company came to pick up the scooter.  John had not a single broken bone, major road rash on his elbows - sore and bruised but appeared to be okay....
