Adventures with Julia

October 11, 2012

Bangkok International Airport, Thailand

We are sitting in the extremely run down Bangkok Airways coach lounge and realizing how spoiled we became while staying at the Amantaka in Luang Pragbang.   The only benefit in staying here is the wi-fi connection, for which I am grateful.  I have caught up on my email and am writing a new blog message.  I was up very late last night getting the last one out while I knew I could.  Am rather tired today.

I keep hoping I will get faster at working in this medium, but so far it is a struggle to keep my brain wrapped around the many details required to deal with the photos, transfer my posts from Word to the blog and stay connected to the net.  The easiest part is writing, but even that goes slowly as I try to tell a coherent story, provide accurate details when I have them and correct my spelling and grammar errors, which are many.

Our travel day has been uneventful so far and I hope it continues that way.  If all goes as planned, we will join the ATJ group this evening and merge into herd mode.   In a place like Myanmar, there may be some comfort in being shepherded around.  We shall see and keep you posted.

Am not sure what sort of connections we will have in Myanmar, so I am letting you know that there may be a dry spell of indeterminate length.  Even if I cannot send posts, I will keep on writing and inserting images for the days when I can.

I have heard that Mom is having, or has had, some difficulties with passing out occasionally.  If any of you feel so inclined, do check in with her.  Don’t mention that you heard this from me as I suspect she would not want me to know she is having any problems.  By now, in fact, she may actually be fine.  However, a few friends calling couldn’t hurt.

May God bless and keep you healthy and happy in body and soul,

Julia
