A hot "winter" vacation - 2005/06
In and around Thailand
What better way to escape the cold winter of Japan than head to Thailand for three weeks!
We went north, south and in-between. We rode elephants, navigated rivers, hung with friends and spent many a night in the cheapest accommodation we could find.
But, for all the happy memories I have from this trip, none is more special than the day Karen said she would marry me. For us, Thailand will forever be special.
