Muz 'n' Shell

Muzzy and I started traveling in 1990. Our first trip was to Thailand. Muzzy was in the Merchant Marines in another incarnation and had traveled all over the world. I had done a lot of internal traveling, but waited a lifetime to be able to really travel. After that first trip I was definitely hooked. We went to Bali in '93. In '96 we returned to Thailand to visit our daughter Sarah at her Peace Corps site in Petchabun province. In '99 we went to Nepal and Thailand, in '03 to Laos and Thailand, and in '05/'06 back to Thailand, Laos and Burma. In '07 we returned to Nepal, Laos and Thailand with our dear traveling companion Kyp. Muzzy and I have been incredibly fortunate in making the trip up the Nam Tha river twice to Luang Namtha. Laos is very special to us. I just hope we get to keep traveling. The photos posted on this site are all by Mr. Muz unless otherwise stated, and he is a grand and wonderful photographer!

Home

Sigh....home. The bed was like heaven, the shower a miracle, the weather mid-January bright low traveling sun on a cold crisp day. And I am glad to be home, but already my mind is slipping back to the sly, mysterious last two weeks. I know some things now. Two weeks is not enough. It takes at least a week for your body to adjust to the rhythms of Southeast Asia, for you not to feel like a complete alien. By that time, its almost time to come home. After the romance wears off, I find I am still inamoured of Thailand and Laos. What is that?
Don't worry, Somchai. Even if I don't go back right away, I have thousands of stories. I could re-post some of my old travel writings...Nepal, Burma, Thailand and Laos....believe me, I have stories and the pictures to prove it.
