Today Katie's mother stepped foot on Asian soil for the first time in her life. For the next two weeks Travis and Katie will be taking Katie's mom to some of the best places in Thailand.
First adventure on the agenda is a roadtrip to Chiang Mai! How will Katie's mom fare with the tropical heat? Will she be able to handle the spicy food? Can she stomach the typical northern fare (roasted bugs)???
To find out, stay tuned ...

KATIE GETS STITCHES FOR HER BIRTHDAY
To celebrate the day that Katie came into this world, Travis took her on a weekend trip to the beach town of Pattaya.
It was on that fateful day, in between sunset walks on the beach, gourmet meals at fantastic restaurants, and birthday shopping in the plazas that Katie accosted her own index finger. She was cutting open a juicy pomegranate with her trusty pocket knife when she accidentally mistook her finger for the fruit itself.
Travis rushed Katie to the local hospital on his steed (rental motorbike), where she got excellent care and six big stitches. Thanks to the Thai health care system and the benefits of having a good job, Katie's visit to the ER was free of charge. After that it was clear that some more birthday shopping was in order. And so it was that Travis and Katie celebrated her 28th birthday. Katie was later heard saying, "Hmmm... which of these handbags matches my stitches?"

THOUGHTS FROM THE BIRTHDAY GIRL
This quote is the best way I can sum up my 28th year, the year of my Saturn Return. I don't know who the original author is. But I must share it with you who reads this blog. Enjoy.
"Don't think in terms of comfort; think in terms of freedom.
Don't think in terms of safety, think in terms of being more alive.
And the only way to be more alive is to live dangerously, is to risk, is to go on an adventure.
And the greatest adventure is not going to the moon -
the greatest adventure is going to your own innermost core."
