First Post

Well this is the first post on our brand new blog. Paul and I thought that this might be a better way to keep in touch with all of you while we are traveling around Thailand, Laos and Cambodia. We are hoping to update every three to four days, but we really won't know what is feasible until we actually get there - which is very soon I might add. We leave in six days!

Today we took a nice long walk by the lake to test out our new packs - my mom insisted :) We walked from my parents house to the graveyard up past Rotary Park. (For those of you who don't live in Ajax - it took about 30 minutes). I try to visit the graveyard at least once when I'm in town. Something about the energy there... its a little creepy to be honest. I think I keep going back just to make sure that it still feels strange. There are 23 people buried there - most of the are the first settlers to this area. When the leaves aren't on the ground you can actually see where everyone is buried because the ground is raised.

We're pretty much finished looking through our Let's Go guide to Thailand. We have a rough idea of where we want to visit. We don't want to be too rigid in our plans, but it's nice to have a general idea of where things are and where we'd like to visit.

That's it for now. We're settling down for the night. After my sister finishes her homework I'm going to try and hook her into a game of Nerts. We'll write soon.

Lots of Love

Correne :)
