Just Got Back to Phuket City From Phi Phi Island

Just arrived in Phuket City this afternoon. I was on Phi Phi looking for personal affects and a video recording of my girlfriend. And I was successful. It brought tears to my eyes when i discovered the tape existed. I now have a video of our last day togeather.

Also, I will be meeting with two different aid groups tomorrow. One is involved in building boats and the other is setting up scholarships for students who have been affected by the Tsunami. I'll be writing more tomorrow as I didn't sleep much on Phi Phi and I'm feeling exhausted........yawn.
