Tuk Tuk Madness
You could say we got our World’s ROCKED!! On the ride home from an amazing night of hitting the lanes (bowling) our Tuk Tuk crashed into a telephone pole at 40 mph!!! We didn’t even see it coming!!! At the moment of impact our 40 oz beer bottles smashed into a thousand sharp pieces that sliced our white legs open in deep, red gashes!!! Pretty much we were thrown into a wall at an accelerated speed! The damage to our bodies was beyond belief. 
To be fully honest our memories of the initial impact are vague to say the least. It was like a scene from a war movie. Screaming, blood and major injuries plagued our crew of six. Anton, our Swedish savior was thankfully there to help us out. Chelsea had passed out from her concussion and awoke on the ground with five Laotians surrounding her. Anton was there to help her through, explaining what had happened, holding her hand and getting her into the other tuk tuk that was our ambulance. Kinsey on the other had knew the minute she gained consciousness that her collarbone was broken!! When she finally got into the tuk tuk Anton held his own shirt to the deep wound on her leg all the while holding her hand till we got to the hospital.
At the hospital they took, Tom, Reeta and Kinsey into the third world ER to sew up their open wounds. On three brown beds they placed the victims and began sewing, with No anesthesia!! From outside the ER all was heard were the screeches from our three friends as the doctors stitched them up.
Ex-rays were taken and we were given aspirin and told to go home!!! We could barely make it out the door on our own! We were all stumbling and helping each other into the tuk tuk that was taking us back into town where we stayed.
Our Injuries:
Kinsey had a collarbone that was shattered, two broken ribs, a torn ligament in her shoulder and gashes on her head and legs. Kinsey got Fuuucked!!!!
Chelsea’s head was smashed into the cab of the truck causing a deep dent and a concussion. Not only that but she had two fractured ribs and a messed up arm.
Reeta had deep gashes in her legs, something wrong with her shoulder and a head injury.
Anton had a head injury and broken bones in his hand.
Tom had Deep, Deep gashes on his legs.
And Thomas had a swollen tongue…the lucky bastard!!!
We just want to say that we love you all and would not have made it through that ordeal without the four of you!! Free stay if you ever grace us with your presence here in Boston!! XOXOX
Due to the severity of our injuries we returned home within 36 hours of the accident! We want to thank United Airlines for the
exceptional care from Bangkok allllll the way to Boston. You guys Rock!!!
We were so humbled by all of the help we were getting from the people of Laos, the passengers on all of our flights and in the airports. So many people extended their hands to us when they saw the conditions we were in flying home. From helping carry our bags, pushing our wheelchairs and going to get us food and water we cannot thank you more for your kindness!! However, once we landed in our own country we pretty much were kicked to the curb!! No one cared or stopped to help us out. We were so shocked and saddened that our own people didn’t look twice at us. Welcome to America!! 
Moral of the Story:
We know you have all heard this before but life is short. You think you are in control but you are not!! Life can be taken away in a split second!! So you might as well live everyday doing what you love and what makes you happy and Not giving a flying fuck about what others think!! This hasn’t scared us away from travel it has only made us want to travel More!! Live life to the FULLEST!!!
Rock On Rock Hard!!
Your Trusty Travelin’ Duo!
Chelsea & Kinsey
Stay tuned for more Amazingly Awesome Adventures!!!
