Patient, I'm not.

Anyone who knows me knows that patience is not one of my strong points. It's really difficult to wait for these various government organizations to return contact or to provide the info we need. So as we wait for some sort of feedback from Thailand I thought I'd spend the morning contacting other tourism boards to see if I could generate some interest.

Thought you'd enjoy imagining these other various destinations (we're pretty confident India is destination #1 - this is for destination #2)...

I wrote to Bali, Tahiti, Borneo, Viet Nam and Dubai. We'll see if anyone bites.

Shea's diagnosis is finally in. She did indeed have a nasty parasite, picked up in Costa Rica. Called cryptosporidiosis...will mean more to Chris than anyone else I'm guessing. Anyhow - she's all better now but she was definitely down for the count for awhile. Likely picked it up during her slide for life whitewater rafting adventure.

Not looking good for Ezy to join us on the trip. His Argentinian passport expires in April and he's in process of becoming a Canadian citizen. We're sure going to do what we can though. BIG disappointment for both he and Shea if he can't come.
