Waiting in Chicago
Does anyone else remember this walk way between concorses? Reminds me of a wierd carnival and paint chips.
We made it to Thailand!
Hi all!
Well we made it. All flights were on time and the longest lines we stood in were at the Winnipeg airport. We left in plenty of time, so no worries. Our flight to Chicago was no problem We had a few hours to walk around in Chicago airport before bording a plane to Hong Kong. We nearly jumped for joy when we saw what our seats look like. They went perfectly flat! We walked on (we got air miles bussiness class) and there was enough room to sit between us and the next seat in front of us. Then they gave us some champagne and we new we had arrived. Spoiled rotten is what I say. We each had our own video/tv screen where we could play video games, watch TV programs, choose one of about 30 movies to view, listen to audio books that they had on their system... and the list goes on. Can you tell that we were excited?
We landed in Hong Kong at about 3:00 am our time, but it was about 5 pm their time. We ran to our next flight and got to Bangkok at 8:30 their time. In total we were in airports was over 26 hours. Oh my goodness.
We are now in our hotel, it's 9:30 pm and only some time in the morning where you guys are at. Have a good Friday, we have.

Off to Thailand
We are almost ready to go. At 2pm we leave to the city and tomorrow morning very early, we are on our way to Thailand. Very worried about the long, long, long flight. I think we are in airports and plains for about 26 hours. My previous longest flight has been 6 hours (and I thought that was too long). I am looking forward to getting there. I am very excited about spending time with Bern discovering something new.

A wonderful December trip to Olds Alberta
We had a chance to visit Ingrid & Clarence and family in the middle of December 2009. What a wonderful visit. I will share some of the pictures from that get away. We were treated like royalty and it was wonderful to connect with the Krahn's in their space. It was frigid cold, but their home was brimming with hospitality, love and warmth.
Starting a blog in anticipation of Thailand
Heh all. Just starting a blog to use for sharing our experiences in Thailand. Thought I would start out practicing in advance of our vacation.
