Start – Bangkok

30 01 2009

Endlich angekommen – nicht endlich, weil es etwa ein langer Flug war, mehr, weil sich die Vorbereitungen in den letzten zwei Wochen noch sehr stressig entwickelt haben und wir wahnsinnig froh sind, nun endlich ausspannen zu können!!

Day One!

29 01 2009

We’ve finally left.  We had another brief little farewell at the airport after numerous other farewells during the week.  And of course cleaning, packing, sorting, moving, and whatever else goes along with leaving town.

The next stop is the Baiyoke Sky Hotel in Bangkok.  It’s hella tall.  We asked for an upper floor.  I’m curious to see if we’ll be able to see the street through the smog below.  If you see a completely gray picture soon, you’ll know what it is.

Of course, since we’re still in the plane somewhere in the general area of Iran, we don’t have a new picture yet.  So here’s one of Art.  You can tell it’s Art because of the all black background and the capital A.

By the way, if you’re thinking of calling or SMSing, try and remember there’s a 6 hour time difference ahead from Munich and a 9 hour behind time difference from San Francisco.  Okay anyway, here’s the “art.”  I mean Art.

Thank you!

17 01 2009

Yesterday was our last day of work and we had a going  away party that went really well.  A lot of people were there and they all showed support for our crazy scheme.  We’d like to thank you all again and thank you for the contribution to out Land Cruiser fund!  It’s greatly appreciated and will be used properly =)

I (Justin) forgot while I was thanking everyone that I especially wanted to thank Markus and Sigrid since without them I wouldn’t have been able to come back to Munich and I wouldn’t have met Monique and we wouldn’t be able to take this trip.  So thank you both very much for helping me.





The Callington Mill in Tasmania

13 01 2009

Sorry for the delay since the last entry. I had my knee operated on. It wasn’t pretty.

The Callington Mill was built in 1837 and used to mill grain. The entire top actually turns to maximize the wind stream.
