Well I should have known it was coming- I did decide to go on vacation during rainy season.  We were sitting at the beach yesterday when the torential rainpour started.  I thought it would end soon, but it keeps coming down.  It lets up occassionally so we can do other things (like sit on the beach watching fire shows which are amazing).  We are going to switch islands (going to Ao Nang) and see if that helps the weather (ha ha ha yeah right).  I could seriously stay here for a month though and still be sad when I had to leave.  I am in love with Thailand!
