All of these post relate to our trip to Asia.
This is a post by Jenny. I’m writing this entry from the front of a ferry boat in the southern Thailand province of Krabi, on the Andaman Sea (part of the Indian Ocean).

This is a post by David. We are currently on the Andaman coast in southern Thailand. We’ll be hopping around to different islands around here before heading to Bangkok next week.

So that was all the more reason to move … More Luang Prabang, Laos
We participated in Jungle Flight just outside of Chiang Mai, Thailand. After a very long, windy, (and nauseating) car ride (on the left side of the road (most of the time)), we finally arrived at our zip line course with a bunch of other carsick people – from China, Canada, Australia, England, Denmark, Holland, and … More Flying in the Jungle in Thailand
