Dave looks like he's saying Phuket in that pool side lounge chair!

WOW
Thank you so much for the great journal. I enjoy all the pictures and tales. It reminds me of my trips to Thailand, Vietnam and China. So much fun!! I am so excited for you both. Enjoy your time

WOW
I am impressed with Cambodia. The tree growing out of the temple is amazing. The carvings of the elephants is incredible, and the countryside...(speechless). You guys are lucky. Next stop come visit us in Honolulu.

You guys are inspirational!
Hey guys, so glad that you're having a great time! You've made me laugh, wonder, get a little anxious at times, and (most importantly) be ever so thankful for hot, running water! Wishing you the best! - Bill

Wow!
This looks like a place i'd really love to go, thanks too for the tip on flying to Laos from Chang Mai. How is it going with the number of clothes you have and getting them cleaned? I think you each just have one backpack right? Thanks for adding details about the country.

what they don't know
Poor children - they didn't have us to warn them about Dave! Good thing you didn't have Bob with you - that would have done them in! Glad you are enjoying Laos - I'm enjoying your blogs!

traveling through your eyes
Hello Merry, It is so nice to follow your blogs to the marvelous places you and your husband have visited. I can only hope some day I could have such a wonderful experience. I love all of the information and especially pictures. It makes me feel like I am traveling as well to places I may never see. I hope you are truly enjoying yourselves and appreciate this time you have to see the world. You both are truly blessed to have this experience of a lifetime. We all miss you and can't wait to see where your (our) adventures take us next. Hope to hear from you soon. Michelle Falbo

Your blog is fantastic. Thanks for sharing your excitement about your adventures. Enjoy every moment!

I'm loving this travel blog. I get to live vicariously through you all.thanks for giving such detailed info and pictures. looks like your having loads of fun. Take care and travel safe. Ange

Happy travels
Good info on round the world tickets. Just wanted to add that there is another option that we used and that is going with an air broker. You basically tell them all the places you want to go and in what order and they gather up the necessary tickets. This leaves a lot more flexibilty in your planning because they use all airlines, not just partners. There are no time limits and you can go in any direction you want. After pricing both, it is about the same price as an "around the world ticket". For us this was great because we were flying to some out of the way places and going all over the map. We were really happy with Air Brokers International out of San Francisco. (www.airbrokers.com) Hope your trip is wonderful!

What fun!! I decided I was getting tired of Ohio again - like you have lived out of Ohio more than in it and took and job at Cedars Sinai in Los Angeles. Cost of living is through the roof, but I love, love my job. Outpatient cancer clinic - I work exclusively for two doctors four days a week. Biff is with me and the love of my life is Eddie my piebald miniature dashchund.

How wonderful
Sounds like you guys are having a wonderful start to the greatest adventure of your life. Keep the info coming looking forward to back seat traveling with you.
