The Engleson Files

So after our 2+ weeks in Burma, we said our goodbyes and then flew down south to Phuket in southern Thailand where sun, sand and surf awaited. As I stated earlier, Myanmar was very taxing on our family with the all difficulties travel created and it felt great to know we were going to a place where the only thing on the schedule was relaxation and enjoying the beautiful scenery. Thanks to Mom and Dad’s time share, we were able to get a one-week stay at the JW Phuket Marriott - and wow, what an amazing place it was! Everything about our stay at the Marriott was first-class and we were all treated like royalty during our time there. Magnus was able to play all day in the pool, Svea got to tool around in the water as well and have a few cool naps under an umbrella, Kristin was able to enjoy watching her children have fun in the water and I got to soak in everyone else’s enjoyment with a douse of mojito’s by the poolside; life was simply too good!

At the Marriott, we were just able to unwind and allow our kids play all day long. There was no pressure of things to see or places to go, and for a young family that type of vacation is vital for success. Magnus and Svea traveled very well in Burma, but they deserved to have a break and just do whatever it is they wanted to do; and it was clear during our week there that both enjoyed their time immensely and were able to recharge their batteries. The Phuket Marriott is a fantastic place and if any of you are in the area and have a few extra bucks to throw away, I highly recommend that you treat yourself there - because at the Phuket Marriott, the sun is hot and pool is nice and cool, and even better, the mojito’s are even cooler!
