On our way...

Okay so it is nearly 3 pm on April 20th, and we are getting ready to leave this beautiful country, and head for Thailand for the next 27 days...
We have spent most of the past 3 weeks travelling in the areas more known for beaches and sun, and have been more satisfied in the recent days with our 3-day stay in Borocay. El Nido was fantastic as well... as our pictures showed. Borocay pics will be on shortly...
Rachel has been to Thailand 3 times, but this will be my first visit, so I am slightly unsure what to expect after having been here for 42 days... I expect it to be hot like hell though. And just as busy, if not worse, in the city centers. We have a few (4) destinations in mind for our 4 weeks here, and they are all tourist destinations, and so hopefully we will meet some others to travel and exchange stories with. So far we have not come across too many that we have spent and serious amount of time with... but we are headed to more beaches so we can't complain. We just need to come up with a few more card games...
I just read the Habs lost again in Boston, and need to win game 7 to move on... well the bars must be happy about this! I hope you guys are all having a great time back home with this, I would say it is the only thing I envy being away over on the other side of the world...
Ciao for now, we'll check back in soon!

"If it's Tuesday, it must be Thailand" Different culture, different country,but you will have the familiarity of that type of travel,and the experience of how to get about.I'm not sure how hot hell is,but I would imagine Bangkok is pretty much it.From the photos we've seem,Thailand is every bit as beautiful,as where you've just been.Enjoy the newness,Did you learn any handy expressions in their language?

HI , ITS ME , OLD FAITHFUL Right after Faithful Larry ! ( he beat me to it this time , ha ha )
Its now over for the Philipines and on to Bangkok where I hear its really really hot !! Poor you , beaches , palm trees, sipping cold beer, walking in the white sand (gets in everywhere, must be tiresome !) I think you need to come here to the real life, melting snow, and more melting snow!
Well, since I think you wont come back right away,, well then, enjoy the last leg of your wonderful aventure into the unknown as you had said when you departed ! send more pictures soon
7th game tomorrow night, it was a good one last night even though they did not win , we were up on our toes cheering them on !
Ciao
XXXX Susan
