Thanks Everyone!

I just wanted to give a quick update on the situation here in Thailand, because my parents and Josh have been getting a lot of worried phone calls.
As, most of you know the two main airports in Bangkok have been shut down for a week due to protesters. The protesters (known as People's Alliance of Democracy) are upset with the government and want the Prime Minister to resign from his current post. They have stated that they will not leave the airports until he steps down. Thus, leaving thousands of people stranded in Thailand, with no easy way out. Josh was suppose to fly out last week to Bangkok, but instead spent 6 hours at the airport trying to deal with the situation. We were really frustrated because we were both excited to see each other after 2 moths apart. However, I promised him we would use our airline vouchers for a GREAT vacation in 2009!!

As for Molly and I, we are two brilliant girls that have great travel smarts and will be safe!! Thank you for all the thoughts and prayers, I know that my family is grateful for the support, as am I!! I will keep updating my blog about past events and current as Molly and I make our way back to Bangkok and further south. I appreciate all the great feed back I have received from people about this blog....it has been a rewarding couple of months and I have been honored to share so many moments with everyone. See ya soon:)
