Almost 6 months of work all came to an end this week as the convention came to a close. And to celebrate everything going well we all went out to a roof top bar overlooking the river and Bangkok, and then out to dinner after that. Had I known how awesome the view was going […]

Brenda has been nice enough to send me photos of the boys almost everyday. I miss them like crazy, and the photos are nice but make me miss them even more. From what I understand Andrew is now riding a bike and Max just started learning Spanish. I hope I don’t miss too many more […]

Click on the photo to see a much larger version of it. I was very pleasantly surprised to wake up today and take a look out my window. What a beautiful view! Today was a pretty lazy day overall. I woke up at noon, worked out in the health club, showered and went to “breakfast” […]

We’re staying at the beautiful Shangri-La Hotel in downtown Bangkok. We usually get to stay at pretty nice places, but this is exceptionally good. The flight was pretty uneventful other then being slightly delayed. We had a nice transport from the airport. It’s not often that 5 people get a full sized 40 person bus […]

Break out the computers, it’s nerd time! A little free internet while waiting for our flight to board. We’re at the airport and checked in (after another hassle over having “too many bags”). Our flight leaves in about an hour or so. This photo is from a place I visited this afternoon. It was a […]

While we are here to work, Carole and I don’t really start working until we get to Bangkok, which is late Saturday evening. So we spent the afternoon touring a small village and temple at the top of a mountain here.  It was a 30 minute drive up the mountain on a narrow road most […]

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 […]

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