Awesome brother. Thailand? Wow must be amazing. Enjoy yourself and hope your son gets better.

Man... I wish I was there helping you eliminate those sticks. Do you have the ability to post pictures? I'd like to hear your impressions, since Rip's not around, we need that travelogue thread going! Be safe and have fun!

Wow! Quite the adventure. I can only imagine what it's like --- Cigars on the opposite side of the world. Cool. Hope the infection gets better soon and that you all enjoy the wedding. Cheers brother.

Glad you made it safe and sound Mike. Hope that boys leg gets well quick. Keep us posted and enjoy your time away.

Just in case you pop back in Mike....whats your time frame for return?

jlmarta

Hmmmm. It appears that Afar is about 37 kilometers south of Bangkok. Is that about right, Mike?? :-)

Hope the son recovers quickly, that the wedding goes off wonderfully, and that you don't develop tobacco poisoning from sacrificing all those sticks.... :-/)

bearb

Mike, glad you arrived safely and in good condition to help in whatever ways were needed. Truly hope the wedding goes off smoothly and that you and Katie have some time to enjoy and relax together in such a unique locale. At the end of the day a few key points to ensure success: infection control, wedding bells ring, sacrificial tobacco and last, but not least..enjoy yourself!
