While we had planned to be over the Pacific Ocean heading to Southeast Asia on New Year’s Eve, Gary’s lower back had other plans and laid him low, low enough to postpone plane flights. As it turns out, the travel delay was much needed for rest, so we now fly out January 9th, the earliest ‘next flight’ with openings.

This means it is beginning to get rather warm in Chiang Mai, with the effects of humidity, upwards of 100º. This is a bit different than the freezing temperatures this past month in Edgewood.

But the enforced break is also giving us a full week of nice weather in Orange, CA while staying with relatives.
