Today’s Ray’s birthday! If you’d like to send him a picture message please feel free to send it my way and I’ll be sure to get it to him. :D We’re here in Phuket to celebrate his bday! By request: beach and sipping pina coladas today and then a 4-day live-aboard birthday scuba diving trip to the Similans! If you’d like to send Ray a pina colada for his bday, you can use the donate button on the right…he thanks you very much (but I don’t if I end up having to hold his hair back for him due to overwhelming response… ;)).

Happy Birthday, Ray!

In addition to all the fantastic photos, Ray also had a really great Pina Colada fund for his big day. Thanks so much to Chuck, Gini, Andrew, Grandma, Esteban, Greg and Deanna who so generously contributed to his rum-filled coconut! We both had a real blast for his birthday and were so happy that so many people wanted to share it with him. You helped make it really special and memorable.
