I've been in Thailand for quite awhile already. So long in fact that my 30-day tourist visa ran out the other day. Thankfully Alan mentioned it to me the day before it was due, so I made last minute plans to leave the country and come back with a fresh stamp in my passport. After visiting a travel office, the cheapest and fastest way to do this was to simply pay 600 baht, take a 6 hour bus ride... Read Full Entry

I am so jealous
Hey Big Bri!!! Love the tattoo, check out your guns in that picture!!! (Hungry Jack sent it to me). That Thai meal you cooked must have been out of control. Pad Thai is sooo delicious. Those elephants were so cute, you are so lucky. How many people can say they rode an elephant in the Thai jungle? Glad you got through the border hassle without any problems- you are tough New Yorker!!! DR was awesome. Guess where we're going for a long weekend? LBI!! "Crab people, crab people". Miss you!!!
