Guiling Girls take on Thailand

A few weeks ago my two sisters Rebbie and Joanie came to visit Ryan and I during our last three weeks in Thailand. It was so nice being able to spend Christmas and New Years with family, and to see familiar faces halfway across the world. We've already decided this was the first of many sibling trips in the future...next time with Matt and Katelyn too!

We showed them around Chiang Mai, traveled through crazy mountain roads to spend Christmas in Pai (with a crazy speed demon bus driver!), and then headed down South for New Years to lounge on the islands of Koh Lanta and Koh Phangan. Along the way we learned how to ride scooters, got too many Thai massages and pedicures to count, fueled our love for Thai iced tea (Rebbie), Khao Soi (Ryan), and coconuts (Jenny and Joanie), and played a killer game of 3-week Rummy (Rebs was the winner!).

They both took tons of amazing pictures, which most of you probably saw on Facebook already. Here are a few of our favorites.
