Thailand!

We have arrived safely in Thailand. We've had every form of imaginable transportation so far (airplane, ferry, longtail boat, train, taxi, truck, and tomorrow--elephant!). It is unbelievably beautiful here, truly a tropical island paradise. The islands we are on were struck by the tsunami two years and are in the midst of rebuilding.

A few points for thought:

• For our continued travel safety--we go to Malaysia on Monday and Singapore on Wednesday
• For our health--we were all sick with a bug yesterday and are still trying to recover
• For my family--my great uncle died last week, so there are many things for my parents to sort out as a result
