beach bum vacation

Reading something about New York, it seems like some people are already saying the temperature has cooled down a bit there... It is atrocious... We are still in the 90's here!! The lazy summer is only good for day-dreaming... At our A Cut steak dinner (mediocre), my group of friends were talking about vacationing in Ko Samui, since a friend's friend's family owns a resort there... The thing is, with all the boring married couples (with children), not to mention busy schedules of everyone but me, it took us 3 hours to get plans settled for one dinner... I'd say it is impossible to book a vacation together, even just for a long weekend. Anyhow, it started me thinking about laying on a beach for a couple of days. My all time dream island has long been the Maldives on Indian Ocean. I also read in Apartment Therapy the 20 Hotels Around the World from Architecture Digest about the Cocoa Island Resort. The little fishing boat rooms just looks so cozy and cute! I even looked up flights from Taiwan and it seems like a transfer in Singapore is a must, so that I could go have all the great street food that I've heard about for soooo long but missed the chance when I was there with my parents. So who wants to join me for this dream vacation?
