10 Month Anniversary
Today is our 10 month anniversary of being on the road! When I think of all the places we've been, people we've met and experiences we've had it does seem like quite a long time, but on the other hand time seems to be passing by so quickly--I can't believe it's June already! We're still enjoying every moment of our trip, but lately we've both been thinking more and more about home (even though we don't exactly have one!), and missing family and friends. I think we'll be ready and excited for our re-entry into the States in a few months.
I finished my two weeks of teaching up near the Akha village yesterday. I really enjoyed it, it was fun teaching so many different ages. I could have easily stayed longer, but there are still so many places we want to get to before flying out of Bangkok around the 20th of July to meet Henni, Tilde and Chris in Darwin, Australia. Right now our plans are to go back to Chiang Mai for a few days (to do some shopping at the Sunday night market and send another package home!), then head up to the Laos border and take the slow boat down the Mekong River to Louang Phabang. We'll probably spend a few weeks in Laos, then go into Vietnam, then loop around through Cambodia back to Bangkok.
I just spent a few hours going through photos and posting some. I'm a bit computered-out so I'll write more about the Akha Hill House and school once we get to Chiang Mai.
Megan and Michael, we miss you too!!!
Love,
Tinney
Bei uns läuft in letzter Zeit dauernd ein Lied im Radio mit dem Titel : "California, here I come ..."(keine Ahnung, wer das singt) Von Anfang an muss ich jedes Mal, wenn ich das höre, an euch beide denken, wie ihr im Herbst in SF landet, und somit nach über einem Jahr wieder in die USA zurückkommt!
Bussi, Henni
P.S.: die Fotos von den Kindern in Akha sind toll
Happy 10 months of travel! I'm still checking on a daily basis to read of your adventures and check out your photos. Thanks for posting often.
Scott and I are on our first MAJOR adventure together -- house shopping. In all my years of travel... this may be the biggest adventure of all.
We fell in love with a house overlooking the mountains and were about to put an offer on it, but the next day discovered that there may be plans to build a highway out front. The town is fighting it, but it's too much risk for us. Ugh.
Don't worry though, we'll find the perfect place and before making an offer we'll make sure the house next door is on the market too, for when you guys return to the States!
Love and miss you lots.

By the way, I ate Thai food five times last week and thought of you guys! Mmm-mmm. Working for AZN TV means lots of yummy Asian food!
Also, Scott took cooking classes when he was in Thailand too -- and guess who gets to benefit from it! Lucky me. Consider yourself lucky Michael!
