Heading to the Beach this Labor Day Weekend

We have no school on Monday, so Andrew and I and about 18 other teachers are piling into our rented bus afterschool today to go to a beach on the Bay of Bengal for the weekend. It is about a 5 hour drive during the rainy season unless there are elephants on the road, which in that case, the drive will take longer. I haven't seen any elephants yet, so it would be exciting to see one, but the prospect of an even longer bus ride will not be so enjoyable.
We are excited to get out of the city, which has been great to explore, but it is time for a little sea salt in our hair and hopefully a sun on our skin (this might be too optimistic as it is the rainy season afterall). Whatever will come our way, we are prepared with kiteboarding gear, fishing poles, snorkel gear, frisbees, beach chairs, umbrellas and some good books to read. We when we return late Monday night, we will write in on our adventures at Ngwe Saun Beach. Take care everyone!

We have enjoyed the beach this weekend in Sheboygan. Hope the weather is good for you. Good luck in what sounds like the maiden kite board run. Can't wait to hear about this weekend's adventure. We were wondering how you would fit all the gear with you on the bus though?
