My time in South East Asia is finished and I need more Fun Tickets....that's what my boss in Alaska calls the U.S. Dollar.

My last stop in Thailand was the hippy, mountain town of Pai . Signs all around town said "Pai...Do Nothing". So I did. I had some rain as well so that limited doing too much of anything. Back in Chiang Mai, I took a Thai cooking class. Why, I'm not sure but I did learn two things...1.) how to buy a good egg and 2.) how to burn my house down.

So this is my last entry for a while as I head back up to Alaska for the summer. As I write this, I'm sitting back home in Pennsylvania where it's cold and windy. I've been home for two days but head off tomorrow for a week long vacation at the beach in North Carolina with the entire family. After 7 months of traveling, a proper vacation is much deserved and needed.

Stay tuned. I will be free from Alaska in October. The adventure continues then............
