Well after the first night we didnt get up till quite late. We went into Johns work and got soe cheap lunch. Pretty sweet getting it for hlaf price plus free coffee. Once again I dont know exactly what happened after this becuase I didnt write up about it then but I think what we did was go around to Max's Place (one of Johns friends places) to take him to work. It was here that we also picked up Maria from Germany who was staying at Max's place. We then headed down to Laguna beach to soak up some sun and just in general see what the place was like. The place was absolutly packed but becasue it was a sunday we managed to find a free car park about twenty minutes walk away from ... read more

Hey Everyone I know this has taken me a bit to get up and running and I would have forgotten a lot about this part of the trip all ready but I will do my best to e accurate in my description of this part of the trip before I can get up to todays current events - Im lucky I have lots of photos to jog my memory. Well it was a long flight and I didnt get any sleep the seat was small and the entertainment system is really close to you face. Apparently I am an expert at checkers cause the plane couldnt beat me. Customs took a little while at LAX airport becuase they only had about three people on and since our plane was late we arrived at the same time ... read more

Hello! Well, Jet lag and all, we've made it back to the US of A. Our flight was long, and we are quite sleep deprived, but we're here! We had a great time in Hong Kong. We enjoyed Dim Sum for breakfast one morning, and met up with Benji's friend Dennis(along with his VERY pregnant wife!) for "Hot Pot" one evening. Hot Pot is great. there's a pot of hot broth sitting in the middle of the table, and all kinds of raw meats and veggis all around. You choose what you want, and cook it in the broth. It was super Yum, and we enjoyed the fabulous company as well. We were VERY happy to check out of our timy hotel room, but sad to be leaving Asia, However, after only a two hour delay, ... read more

First stop, John Wayne to drop Samantha off for her holiday with her dad and then off to Pasandena to pick up Athena. From there to Cal Tech and then to LAX. And we won't even have left the ground yet! I have everthing packed I think - I know I'm bringing pretty much the entire stock of Rite-Aid. Yup - still sick. I'm only occassionally wishing for death though so I must be getting better. If I sleep enough on the plane, maybe I'll kick this before landing. I can hope, right? I'm hoping the Thais don't wonder why I'm bringing so many drugs INTO the country. Merry Christmas to all. Christine ... read more

Welcome! The mere fact that I'm able to take the time to set this up should tell you that I've got prepartions pretty much under control. Well, that and the fact that I'm not moving off my couch a whole lot right now as I wrap up my bout of Influenza A. My timing is, as ever, well conceived. To make sure we're all on the same figurative page, I'm traveling with my dear friend Athena as part of a 12 person group organized by Intrepid Travel. So...for future reference, when I use "we" I mean us...er, Athena and I. :-) Unless I mean something else.... :-) For those of you for whom I've not bragged about our itinerary to, here it is: December 25-26 Bangkok Between the chaotic city streets and serene canals, explore the ... read more
