Quick blog!
Waiting for an episode of ‘How I met your Mother’ to finish loading via our slow Thai internet and thought a blog would be a good way to pass the time. Dani you would be proud- we’ve almost finished all of season one! Jenny is a good sport and watching them again with me as she has seen all the episodes all ready.
We are off to Penang, Malaysia tomorrow! This trip is part fun and part business. Jenny and I got our paperwork for work permits sorted out and need to leave the country in order to apply for them. It is weird, I know, but Thailand is full of odd rules. And I don’t have time to discuss the craziness of Thai bureaucracy leading up to getting the paperwork for the permit, that would take an entire blog and I should probably have a few drinks while writing down the events that transpired. For another day and another blog! It will be a good one though.
We are both looking forward to this three day trip. We’ve been told the food there is amazing and to check out the shopping and beaches. Also, English is widely spoken- another plus. Jenny and I are trying to plan out our itinerary but we’ve had a lot of success winging it in Thailand so far. Why mess up a good thing?
Our bags are packed and we’re ready to go! Only thing left on my mind is to find out what girl Ted will be obsessing over and the awesomeness that is Barney (How I met your Mother reference). Until next time!

Hi Andrew,
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear your "bags are packed and you're ready to go".... just wish I were "standing outside your door". Miss you! I hope Jenny is feeling much better now although I am given to understand that you have the evil bug now. Drat, I hope not.
We got back last night and were bone tired after the 24 hour + travel marathon. Not a piece of cake for anyone but harder as you get older. Can't just flop down on the airport floor any more. ha,ha!! We had a great time in
Greece and while there I remembered many experiences we had when you were there as a child. Remember buying ice cream from the Delta coolers, petting little wild kittens that were everywhere, finding that army tank in the camouflage netting?). BTW.. Istanbul was awesome! I know you'd love it and should def put it on your destinations list.
Good luck on your quest to get the new visa! Be sure to tell us all about Malaysia in your next blog. Curious about the food too. Take care of each other and be safe.
Miss you honey and let's skype soon. Lots of love to you both, Mom
