It is Saturday April4th and I am still shaking after arriving "safely" from Koh Lanta. Our minibus was supposed to pick us up by 9:30 but was characteristically late.  When it did arrive I immediately thought I recognized the bus driver pointed at him and exclaimed "Banzai mai?&q...

Flight of the Gibbon

Ruby started out wanting to try it and I thought it was a good idea.  Something challenging, memorable and maybe even survivable.  So we signed up for "Flight of the Gibbon"  a full day of swinging in the trees in the for real Jungle.  Somethin Ruby had said she wanted ...

We decided to take a train to Chiang Mai so we booked an upper and a lower berth second class air conditioned on an express train leaving Bangkok at 6:00pm.  It is a great idea and it would allow us to sleep and save a night at a guest house while traveling to our destination. When we walk...

Sometime this week we'll try to upload a few photos of the highlights so far.  I've taken roughly 1000 photos and four fairly lengthy videos but we have to review them to delete any blurred or repetitious shots. Last week we caught the train to Arranya at the Thai/Cambodia border.  Ruby sa...

January 8th We finally arrived after a year in the planning and research everything went out the back door the moment we stepped off the plane. It was instantly hot, we were tired but not jet-lagged.  Even tho' we dressed super light, we were over dressed and there were many people wearing jean...
