We have arrived!!!
And boy are we excited...and smelly and hot and tired. : ) We arrived in Bangkok at 11:30am on 9/6/2006. We were greeted by 98F temps and 99% humidity. Our "air-conditioned" bus ride downtown became UNair-conditioned after only 10 minutes. Good times. Good sweaty times...especially for Liza. We got a nice shower from the rainfall as we looked for a place to land for the night...which we eventually did...after a few hours. what can we say...we are picky. After a very good night's sleep (12 hours of the stuff interrupted by the loudest thunder on the planet) we awoke to the sounds of buses and motorcycles and a new day in Thailand...AND a free breakfast! All is well, minus a few allergies and the occasional armpit sweat...ok, the allOVER sweat. Sweet. Sweat. sweet. yummy. We will be exploring Bangkok until Tuesday when we fly to Jakarta, Java to begin the Indonesian leg of our adventure... Stay tuned....Meow. xoxo

So awesome to talk to you last night! Like dad said, it was like you were in the next room. Based on my experience in Japan this summer, you will soon get accustomed to the heat and humidity and then even 70s will feel cold. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy! As fall and winter settle into the Midwest your experiences will be the thing that keeps us warm.
Love & tons of hugs,
MOM
hey you two.
i will repeat it, you sounded right next door last night. yes, you will get used to the heat and stupidity. i can think back 38 years ago when i got off the plane in vietnam. the heat and humidity was like a hot wet wool blanket. my first breath of air was almost painful. how is the coffee, rice, beer, fruit,etc, etc. etc.
enjoy it all!!!!!
dad
Hey hot things,
Well sounds like ur super*hot now & that's what its all about.
Thailand is amazing enjoy every second of it & post pix if u can. Bangkok is like LA which is cool in a way but b sure to check out smaller villages & islands if you get a chance later on.
IF either of you get any gnarly stomach stuff or weird flu-like symptoms, try "Tom Kha Gai" or House Chicken Soup. It's as good as curing pills.
Most of all it is sooo flippin sweet to see the two of u together again.
Peace & love, Brandon
