Dear Friends and Family,
Our wonderful Asian adventure is about to begin! Last week, we said goodbye
to
San Francisco, after nine exhilarating years. We will miss all of our friends,
who have
sustained us through heartbreak and shared every joy with us. We will miss witnessing
nature's magnificence there: the fog rolling over the Marin headlands; the Bay
sparkling,
winking at the heavens in all its indigo glory; the whispering Redwoods that
seem to hold
all secrets and murmur comfort to the souls who pass through them. We will miss
the open
hearts and arms that embrace every person, animal, and plant, regardless of
shape or size
or belief or orientation or politic.
Ahead of us is a great unknown, an adventure waiting to unfold. First, we find
a beach
bungalow in southern Thailand. We'll then make our way up to the Chiang Mai
region in
northern Thailand for trekking and visits with elephants.
We may then duck into Mandalay, Myanmar (Burma) or head over to Laos on our
way
to Vietnam. We'll explore the length of Vietnam by train, and can't wait to
see the sun rise
over the limestone pillars in Halong Bay. We wouldn't miss the amazing temple
complex of
Angkor Wat, so after Vietnam we'll meander into Cambodia. We've sketched our
plans
lightly, knowing that whatwe discover each day will guide us onto our next destination.
We plan to chronicle our experiences with words and pictures, which we hope
to share
with you all. Stay tuned to this site for pictures and stories, updated as often
as we can. We
will have a computer with us--the thinnest, smallest of laptops (to avoid the
vein popping strain
Tomas experienced while lugging his first-generation Powerbook on the Inca Trail),
and we
also plan to stay in touch with you through email. Please update your address
books with
our current email addresses;

Thank you for your support!
Love,
Lucy and Tomas
