  • The Bags have finally joined us

    We all went back to the airport this morning and within minutes were watching all 19 bags coming down the line. I never thought I would be so excited to see my deodorant.

    Today Kalei (one of the producers) along with Dan and John (the two cameramen) are shooting a Lions service project, while Carole and I do some sight seeing. More later!

  • Hour 33, At the Hotel. But…

    This will be brief, and I’ll post more photos and details later. But the short story is that although the universe almost seemed to conspire against us making this trip, we are finally here!

    As I already indicated, our bags did not make it, and will not until sometime tomorrow. 19 checked bags are all still in LA, but that’s another story for later. I swear this trip would have made a great reality show episode. I felt like I was on the Amazing Race a few times. 

    I have just enough time for a quick shower, and then we’re all heading out for some clothes shopping since nobody here has anything except the clothes they’ve been wearing for nearly 2 straight days. It goes without saying, we all smell pretty bad. 

    More updates, photos, and a short movie clip from our welcoming part at the airport later tonight (we’re 12 hours ahead, so for you it will be the morning). 

     

  • The good news is we made it here. The bad?

    The good news is we made it all the way here. The bad? None of our 19 checked bags did.

  • On the plane to Chang Mai. The…

    On the plane to Chang Mai. There was confusion over seat assignments but we’re all good now.
