back on the ship, after an incredible time in thailand! aside from the heat, bangkok & kanchanaburi were so much fun! and i think i was the least stressed here; buddhism may have something to do with that.
i'm currently catching up on emails, looking through the 500+ pictures i took in the past 5 days and plan to be in bed soon.
classes tomorrow? oh lord. should be a challenging month, academically speaking. all this off-ship time; not enough class time. i'll be in class 0800-1200 then i've got to get some work done so that i'm not behind -- vietnam will be here before we know it!
plans are in the works for a trip in china (great wall, here i come!) and we have some ideas for japan. as for vietnam, i have a couple day trips but no big plans. except for possibly getting a dress made and some bargain shopping?
i'm so glad i got to skype with some of you this morning (thailand time). it was wonderful to see the family & to hear some familiar voices! i'll work out the time changes better next time! ah! its getting tough to figure it all out. love and miss you all! xo
ps. i think i may have missed uncle andy's birthday-- so hope you had a good one! xoxo from thailand!

Hi there,
So Nice to see you last night. Yes Andy's birthday was Monday but I'm sure he'll appreciate long distance wishes. He's 26 for the 2nd time....
We have the strange v-word of "dedevaga." OK Auntie "T" you're up on this one. It's 42 & rain, not 95 and humid. OH New England weather.
Thanks for catching us up. Skype was fun. It's 2 am where you are so I'm not expecting a reply soon.

L-
Sorry we couldn't get the skype together, but we heard that if you had too many people on you sometimes lose so maybe it was for the best. We would have hated to ruin it for Mom & Dad. You would think since we work in a technical world we could have figured it out. Oh well...maybe next time. Our word is namitioc...which could be just about anything! Maybe that is how you feel when you have been traveling around the world and can't figure out what name you are in what language! Get some rest and enjoy! Love, Aunt D
Laura!! I loved talking to you on Skype! and unlike Rebecca, I actually knew what was going on. haha, she was really tired. meeting Mackenzie was great. Tomorrow I leave for Reunion weekend at CRS with Brittany! don't worry, I'll be sure to fill her in on all of your adventures.
Love and miss you
Andrew
HATE HATE HATE it that we missed you last nite. At the time you skyped, we were downstairs on the phone with Dianne and Barry talking about THEIR trip. All you jetsetters - honestly. We were so glad to talk to the rest of your fam, however - we will have lots of fun with the camera-skyping!! Maybe in your next port of call you'll have more time and we'll be in the rec room to get your call!
My word for today is lardays - so i made moroccan chicken with brown rice, lemons and olives for LARDAYS - the day of the week dedicated to LAURA. Or is it that if you eat too much moroccan chicken you will get a giant LARDAYS - ooh Aunt T!! You are a bad bad girl!!
On the up side last nite, we spent the time we were waiting for you talking with Shannon and Travis, so that was alot of fun - we got ridiculously silly and declared you an honorary outlaw, but we may have to change your name to DeDe Vaga just for your daddy(WINK) You can throw meenkees at the tree from the deck with us, DeDe!!
Over and Out for tonite!! Love you girly ~~ Aunt T :)
