For the next 6 hours Mike and I will be on a bus with air conditioning that doesn't work. We are traveling to Mae Sot. As we slink down the aisle to our seats we notice that the bus was full of Westerners (AKA white people). That's no good; we are trying to get away from those damn Westerners.

I'm so proud...
Erin, I have to say I'm very proud and impressed with your non-girliness about some of the nitty gritty that international travel on a budget comes along with. I think you get a better view of the place you're in when you do it that way. I love all your pictures, people passing by my desk at work have commented on how beautiful they are. I love you, have fun you two!

We Miss You Guys!
Mike and Erin! So glad to see all the fun you're having! I even got Kevin to read your blogs and now he wants to go to Thailand - of course! You guys look like you're having so much fun . . . and yes, I agree with another person who congratulates you, Erin, on dealing with the nitty gritty of traveling. I remember those days but they don't seem anything comparedy to your experiences - especially the taxis with chickens- I love it! Be safe and we miss you!
