We took off on time at 3:55pm on a cramped flight from Baltimore headed to Seattle on our first leg of our 34 hour journey to Thailand. A major snow storm is currently headed to the Washington DC area from the northwest, so we think that everyone had their flights rescheduled from Wednesday to Tuesday to avoid the imminent delays and cancellations. We were lucky enough to grab the last two seats open next to each other, but I have to say, the back row of the plane is quite uncomfortable…especially if you are 6’2″ and 220lbs. We will endure about 24 hours of flight time mixed with about 10 hours of layover time in Seattle and Taipei. We have everything we own in two carry ons and one checked bag each. We have no complaints though. I mean we could be sitting behind our desks wasting away at work, right? We are excited, tired from the late night packing, and a little nervous too. The nerves are because it looks like our cat, MooShu, who is supposed to be shipped 24 hours after us, could be delayed a day or two because of the weather, but we will keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best.

I love the blog! And I can’t wait to hear about everything. We just met someone yesterday who served a tour in Thailand, and they said that is where we should go whenever we need a break from India :) My boss asked about vacation schedules yesterday, so I was thinking maybe I’d start looking at tickets to come see you guys sometime in the next few months? I’ll let you know what I find and run the dates by you – yay Thailand!
We love reading your blog too – lots of great pictures! It’s so reassuring to know that time and time again, people have such great things to say about Chiang Mai. We are looking forward to you and B coming to visit for a mini vacation and hope you love it as much as we do.
