Well, the time has finally come to embark on our first adventure to Southeast Asia. I have to give kudos to my beautiful wife who arranged pretty much every single detail of this trip. I am stoked to say that she put together a dream trip with plenty of adventure. She also found some incredible places for us to say that would cost a small fortune in America.
As far as I can tell, the part of our trip that appears most enchanting will be our time spent in Northern Thailand at Chai Lai Orchids, an elephant sanctuary and eco tourism type of place that is in the jungles near Chiang Mai. We are hoping to encounter some spontaneous and unexpected travel bliss along the way.
The aspect of travel that gives us the most anxiety is two-fold...the language barrier and the length of the plane flight. We have a Thai phrase book to help out with the language. The 17 hour plane flight poses the biggest challenge for our sanity, however. We have some good reading and music. We're hoping to have the luxury of wandering around the plane every couple of hours to get some blood flow to the glutes.
With prayer, proper planning, a spontaneous and a gracious spirit, we are hoping that the doors of travel open up lots of oportunity for adventure and joy.
...stay tuned for future blogging.

Safe travels to you all! I hope your trip is amazing and I know you'll find lots of adventure! Looking forward to your posts. :)
