We have just returned from our long weekend holiday and boy were we spoiled! A big thanks to Grant and Caroline for having us, the resort was unbelievable! Located on the southern tip of the island Koh Lanta it was the perfect location for a peaceful, quiet getaway.
While there we were discussing what a perfect location this resort was for celebrities since it was so secluded and what do you know, we ran into one! As we were having mid-afternoon cocktails at a nearby bar just down the beach from the resort a couple sat at the rustic bar and Carol noted, "he looks familiar." As we contemplated who it could be we said, he looks like that Jerry O'Connell guy who is married to Rebecca Romijn, or it could be his brother since he is not with Rebecca, not using our inside voice of course! I'm sure they could hear us trying to figure out who they were. After a while we decided they could not have been anyone famous and that they must be guests at the resort that we've seen before, we moved on to other topics of conversation. As we were leaving the bar, chatter box Jamie pulls up next to them, says hello and they started up "small talk" as he introduced himself he said "hi, I'm Charlie." From there, my ears perked up, sun glasses off and I thought OMG it IS him, Charlie O'Connell and Sarah Brice (from the Bachelor!) Small world!

Arriving at the dock of the resort. The dock is made of floating boxes attached together to move with the waves. It made for a great "toy" to run on through out the weekend!
