We are here!

Wow- we are here! After 15 hours of plane travel you really feel like you are far away from home. Although when we landed in Hong Kong we could have been back in Seattle to look out the window-cold and rainy!
Sorry to all of you wondering if we arrived safely- we did and have been so busy since our arrival in Bangkok there has been little time for updating the blog.
We had a safe, uneventful albeit long and somewhat tedious plane journey. We were blessed to be brought to the airport in Seattle by friends and picked up half a world away in Bangkok by friends.
First impressions of Bangkok are: Crowded, cosmopolitian, clean, busy, somewhat frentic and very hot and steamy! It also brings new meaning to the the phrase "bad traffic"!
Everyone is healthy and happy and surprisingly well rested as we have had no problem with jet lag and sleeping well.
We leave tonight on the overnight train to Chiang Mai and are looking forward to our train adventure.
More later....thanks for your prayers!
