Still haven't met anyone yet, but did just check into the hotel. I am sharing a room with someone. Also checked out the list that has how many people and their names on the tour sheet.. there are only 6 of us. This will either be a really good thing or not so much. Hopefully it is a good group!

The last few days have been nice, since I was able to relax but I have found myself a bit lonely. I also just booked myself into The Sarann in Koh Samui for 3 nights: May 28-May 31st.
