Yeah, that’s the view from our hotel room window: Hello Bangkok!!!
We have decided to name the next phase of our journey -- we call it The Wolfpack chapter.
Inside joke: our friend Shelley is with us now in Thailand and the three of us (Ken, Hill, and Shel) named ourselves The Wolfpack when we ran the San Francisco half marathon last year - the name is from the movie The Hangover.
You see ... I always saw myself as a loner, like a lone wolf in a wolf pack, but then work brought Shelley into my life, that’s when I knew I had another wolf for my wolf pack, so there was me in the wolf pack and then Shelley joined so there was two in the wolf pack, then I met Ken and I knew I just added another wolf to my wolf pack, so there was me in the wolf pack then Shelley joined and now there’s Ken....
Every morning, after I battle past the "Occupy LA" protesters and settle into my office chair for yet another Groundhog Day, I eagerly check for an RSS update from our two kindred spirit RTW travelers. And today... there were 3 new updates! Your incredible words and photos (we even hooked my parents on your blog after showing them those gorilla pics) give us a taste of lands we want to visit, and trigger amazing memories of places we have been. But most of all, they resurrect those unique (and now fleeting) perspectives on life that were only attainable when living everyday on the road. Keep the updates coming (more more more!), and we can't wait to read about your upcoming SE Asia adventures.
