I do love my wife – but she is such a huge nerd. Did you know she has a degree in microbiology? You’d think with such knowledge, she would be more in tune with her own health. Before
we left, Sachi saw an allergist and learned that she has allergies ... Read more >

I had made a decision and I was going to act on it. Gone

HONG KONG | Saturday, 12 Aug 2006 | Views [1671]
After being in SE Asia for a while, Hong Kong was a bit like a trip home. While
it is a very westernized city, it retains enough of the Chinese and
general Asian “feel” to make it interesting and foreign. We fell in
love with the city over about ... Read more >

LAOS | Tuesday, 27 Jun 2006 | Views [558]
In Chiang Mai, we were offered two options to get to Luang Prabang,
Laos. The slow boat would take a couple of days where you sit on a
