Tel Aviv, the tastes of.

It is very hard to be in Israel and not to eat good. It is simply impossible not to eat. Israeli culture swivels around eating and even if you land at an average restaurant, you will not be disappointed.  Though I had a long list of places I wanted to visit, I reached to only part of them. Below are my quick impressions.

Babymoon does exist!

so, the first time I heard the word baby-moon, it seemed liked complete bull..t.  How much can you milk it? It doesn't exist!
But... after a while of being pregnant (though feeling great) i realized: ups..this is probably my last opportunity to get away. Next time I will be traveling, will happen at least in a year from now.. and this is a lot!!

OK the decision was made, baby-moon does exist!

Since tracking and heavy cultural trips were totally not on my mind at this point , and I did hear about few heroins that went backpacking on their 6 month pregnancy to all kinds of  weird destinations, I thought resting by the pool in a sunny location will be just perfect and most of all responsible to the baby!
Next question was: what is the shortest flight from NYC to any destination with beach and blue waters?

KOH PHI PHI

So remember this fantastic movie  The Beach (2000) with Leonardo Di Caprio still relatively young?

The Beach is Koh Phi Phi Leh shore line that became so famous after the movie came out. Incredibly touristic place but so far this is the most emerald water I've ever seen...

We started from island hoping and snorkeling on the way to the final destination.

There is something about Phuket

yes, yes, yes ... there is something about Phuket - SALA Phuket- a paradise on earth. This one is not to miss.

Just to give a quick preview, Phuket is the largest island in Thailand, a historical crossover between east and west. Today it attracts most of his tourists to the Patong beach-the center of its nightlife, never ending parties, tolerated prostitution, strong drinks and rest of activities of any kind. Fun, fun, fun for out of army Israelis :), backpackers from all over, party animals and men in their fifties hoping for a second Renaissance.

The real deal!

Hold on! Hold on! I almost forgot! If you are in Chiang Mai, and your pockets burst with green, please stay in Dahara Dhevi (from Mandarin Oriental). Here is...
