Lad of Smiles ( and Coughing Fits)

Hey everyone, Well I made it to Thailand in one piece. It was a little hairy for a bit, the plane took off three hours late, but it did take off. You never really know how long 17 Hours is until you have to spend it jammed backed in a little airplane flying over the north pole. Yes I said the North Pole. I also flew over most of Denmark, Sweden, and a whole bunch of places that end in "stan"

I made it through customs and immigration without incident, but it took forwever for my bag to come out. I was getting a little worried, but then I remembered that the only things I had in there was clothes and stuff for Susan, so if it was lost then it was no biggie. :P

It turns out that the Hotel never sent the car so I will have to give Paul a call and let him know that they dropped the ball on that. The Hotel is nice, susan got their early and checked in so we were all set. She had to make it "VERY" clear that we wanted two single beds.

I am currently at the Peace Corps Office in Bangkok waiting for Susan to get something done and taking advantage of the free internet in the building. I am going to try and upload some photos so wish me luck.

Hey, man, from the news reports it looks like bombs are going off all over Thailand. I didn't think it was going to be that exciting! Enjoy!

More pictures!
Susan's shirt isn't cool? Well, that IS a cool shirt you have on. Say, who's taking care of the little hedgehog? You haven't missed anything of interest in the states. Unless snow is interesting. Oh well, back to the website. Gotta maintain my subterranean pallor. Enjoy yourself! We miss you!
