Thailand-The Journey

For the past two weeks, I have wanted to create a youtube.com video that captured our mission in photos and music. Well, I finally created a slideshow but it is 28 minutes long! That is way too long to upload to youtube.com

So for now.....I will recap our trip in words only. I must do some thinking to figure out how to narrow down the photos to the most important ones.

I'll begin with The Journey to Thailand.

We left Jackson about 9 a.m. on Sunday, June 22. We made a short 3 hour flight to Detroit, waited a short time, made a very long 13 hour flight to Tokyo, followed by an 8 hour flight to Bangkok. We spent the night there and flew to Chiang Rai the following day.

After settling in to our hotel in Chiang Rai, we had a traditional Thai dinner of rice and chicken and some veggies. We visited several of the English classes in session at the Grace Language School. We then spent the remainder of the evening playing Scrabble and Boggle with Michael, his family and the staff of the Baan Athitaan and the Grace Language School.

END OF DAY ONE!
