On vacation back in Dec. of 2008, there she was in Bahn Kun Mae restaurant with her girlfriend, also on vacation. Me being the shy type, sorry, she being the chatty type, a friendly chat led to us exchanging e-mail addresses and phone numbers. Little did I anticipate but upon arriving back in New York phone chats led to an invitation to come back and see her where she lives, up in the north in Phayao. Met her parents, toured Chain Mai, had a wonderful time. 2 more visits to Land of Smiles later and here we are, her about to send packet 3 back. Please wish us both smooth sailing from here on in. And to all of you well-wishers, nice to meet you all.
