Bye-Bye, Indeed

I've been very quiet about it, but something big has been brewing for the wee family for some months now; and it's FINALLY here! Yes, three one-way tickets to the USA. The visa came through! Wave bye-bye, indeed!


We won't be going by tuk-tuk or by samlor. This will be that big ol' jet plane to L.A..

Just as Little has mastered the art of the Royal Wave (you know, the back of the hand extended to his public), we're going to be asking him to do it a lot. We're saying a big Bye-Bye to Chiang Mai, the city where we've lived for over two years and heading to the other side of the planet. My husband likes to joke that I'm coming home with two very nice Thai souvenirs from this particular trip (a new husband AND a new baby, if you've not been reading closely).

With only two more weeks in the city and a week in the village where we were married, I'm thinking about all the pictures untaken and stories unwritten (but there is a backlog of about 7,000 photos, so don't panic). More soon, surely.

Wow! You're going to be here so soon! Nong arrived today - mass exodus of cool people from Chiang Mai. I hope the U.S. is prepared :-) Any time you want to visit, we're ready for you!!!

What exciting news! Can't wait to meet your family and see you again, Pam. I hope you'll keep up this wonderfully entertaining blog once you're back in the states... I anxiously await each new photo and writing you post. Safe travel!
