Hi everyone, Not really a proper blog, but we have got a few pics that we wanted to put on. This is our last night in Thailand and we are sad to go (again!!) Next time you hear from us we will be back in the land of big cars and even bigger ham burgers! We are sat in our usual internet cafe in Bangkok waiting before we have to leave for the airport to embark on our 22 hour, 3 plane journey back to L.A on Korea Air.... via Japan and South Korea! Can't wait! Numb bum alert! We have just had our last noodle and rice meal, we will have to rely on some trips to Grandma's to get our fix of authentic thai food...just as we are getting used to the hot stuff ... read more

Is that all it is until we get home????????? now that is scary........see the countdown from the previous blog for the exact time! So on our happy travels we continue................ We were in krabi last time we blogged so i have a bit to catch up on. We got ourselves a ticket on a happy clapper mini van leaving thailand on the 22nd August. So we were packing our bags the nite before and i checked that we had our passports. Of course they were there, BUT i read the visa date for leaving thailand and we were actually a day over the 30 days we were officially allowed!!!!! So what was in store for us, a few days in the bangkok hilton or sum lashes of the cane??? a quick reference to the Lonely Planet ... read more

Hi everybody, Since we last blogged we spent a chilled week in Koh Samui. We spent days cloud bathing and reading books, by night we took the markets by storm. Now we don't have long left we know what we can spend exactly...last time we were a bit conservative with buying things to save our money, but now its a free for all!! We are waiting to get to Malaysia to send it all back home as its much cheaper to do it from there. We also returned to the crazy golf we went to last time round, and yes Liam did win again! There was one day on the beach where there was a young Thai boy playing near to us, I smiled at him and from then on he went running up and ... read more

Hawaii to LA via American Airlines made for an interesting flight!!!! We can both honestly say that we would never fly with that tin pot airline again. It was dire, at best. We were hearded onto this mammoth plane that was full. We sat down and had no little TV's in the headrest in front, but hey, we can deal with that no problem!! I am sure they showed Ice Age2 again. I think that film has haunted me on every single flight so far. Well we were a bit hungry and as it was a 5hour flight u may expect a spot of lunch eh? Not here-u had to buy it and the only offer was a chicken salad, not that good for bethan really. So we bought a 'snack pack'. And a meal has ... read more

Hello every body, sorry you haven't heard from us in ages but fiji has proved to be quite difficult in finding internet that works ok. Most places are still on dial up...how did we cope with that back in the good old days ha ha!! Well back to business, we spent our last few days of New Zealand in Christchurch where we managed to escape the snow. We said our farewells to Twiggy-the old girl did 6200km with us!! We were really surprised how far we drove. We loved twiggy, although we loved the wicked vans too, she was easier to live in and we didn't ever wish we were in a hostel instead! Next stop Fiji! We had to take a short internal flight back to Auckland to catch our international connection. We checked in ... read more
