Hello from Chiang Mai!

We have made it to Chiang Mai!  Our travel went as well as could be possible. We thought you might appreciate a few numbers to give you perspective on our last couple of days of travels:

-  9, 716 miles flown from Alaska to Thailand
     1,521 miles from Fairbanks to Seattle
      6, 072 miles from Seattle to Seoul, South Korea
      2, 123 miles from Seoul to Chiang Mai, Thailand
-  31 hours of travel time, with 20 hours of that being actual fly time
-  16 hour time change along the way, but we did successfully sleep through the night last night!
- 3 checked bags that all made it here intact and everything with customs went smoothly.
-91 degree difference right now from 82F degrees currently in Chiang Mai, to -9F in Fairbanks.
-1 great God who loves us and has great work for us whether it's in fairbanks or Chiang Mai.  We are grateful for the traveling mercies and such an incredible opportunity!  Thanks to those of you who have been praying and remembering us in our travels. We look forward to sharing how things unfold....

  1. So thankful you are there. When we told the kids where you were going we had to look it up on our globe. Then I told Abigail and Ethan you were in a place where you can have sticky mango rice all the time. They think that is fantastic. Enjoy that warm air and sunshine for us!
