We got up and got ready for the meeting.  We went to Beirut for lunch, and the manager was sad to find out we are leaving soon.  We told him we might see him again on Tuesday.  After lunch we walked down to the Hall.  After the meeting we came back home.  Zoe had a nap, while I played around on the computer.  We dec...

Phew - the heat and humidity as you leave the air-conditioned airport slaps you round the face like a kipper! Be prepared to barter for eveything, including taxi rides - it is expected! And if taking a taxi from the airport to bangkok, make sure you agree the fare in advance or get a metered taxi, as otherwise you WILL get ripped off! Fir...

Hi friends and family, Happy 24th to all you pioneers out there!!   Last night we had an interesting last dinner in Siem Reap.  We had reserved what should have been a cool/romantic dinner on a special "swing set".  It was a special 7 course set Khmer dinner.  However, soon after our meal began, Kathy began to turn gre...

Nikki just came back from the doctor's office. She had an appointment this morning where they were doing some final adjustments and stitching some things. This was her final doctor's appointment (the nurse will still come by daily to check on her) and she got her letter. This is the all-important letter she will send to all government agenc...

Alright so I haven't got to really describing Bangkok yet have I?  We'll just start with the fact that the city is HUGE, I mean it's really big and trust me you feel it.  Next, there are a whole lot of Farang (pronounced Falang, this is the Thai word for foreigner) walking around and at times it doesn't feel like you've left the states...

Right, so we are still here and happy to be. After visiting Catuchak Market yesterday, we visited the Royal Palace and the Wat Phra Kaeo (qui abrite Le Buddha d'Emeraude) The Market was just fantastic: imagine Campden market but in 50 times bigger and weirder. It is supposed to be the largest market in the world with more than 9000 stalls sellin...

Hi there. this is my very first entry. so exciting.

Well we finally made it to Bangkok after 15 hours of travelling from Sydney. Orginally we thought we might not make it because when we got onto the plan 4 hours after arriving at the airport we find that I am sitting next to a man that takes up half my seat, has never heard of a shower, and doesn't speak English. Sweet. Luckily on the lay-over i...

We took a taxi to Thong Sala and looked for a travel agent. As luck would have it, divine intervention occurred and led us through the door of Mr. Kim's Dive operation and travel agent. Mr. Kim was the coolest guy - 45 years old - a dive master - pony tail and all - genuine - we had a good feeling about him right away. Anyway, he set us up with ...
