General Pre-trip Info

     We will be assisting a Thai teacher named "Beam" in her HS English classes.  She taught in Delavan as a teacher exchange through AFS for one year and stayed much of the year with us. Her school is in Sadao, which is in the very southern province near Malaysia.  We will be there about 8 weeks, and I hope to post pictures and details about our experiences as time allows.  
     Our flight, on Nippon Airlines departs Chicago at 10:50, June 23 (my 60th birthday).  What an incredible present to buy myself!  Travel time to Tokyo will be 12:55, with a 4 1/2 hour layover, then a 6:40 flight to Bangkok.  We arrive at 10:40 pm and will staying a hotel that evening.  I suspect we will make about an 8 hour drive south to our "summer home."  We will return to Wisconsin on August 19, our 36th anniversary......so our travel dates are special days in our lives. (must be fate) We have much to do and time is quickly flying by, with the excitement growing each day.
