Living ecologically sustainably in Hawaii really changed us for the better. We think twice about everything we do now, from turning off the water while we lather up in the shower, to choosing what we buy carefully to reduce packaging and waste.
And on our way to Asia, we were very concerned about the [...]
After six weeks in Asia, we satisfied our hunger for Asian food to be sure!
Satisfied it, and then some. Here are some highlights (and otherwise) of our culinary adventures:
Street Food: Are You Brave?
For those with an iron constitution and a little courage, the street food in Asia is not only cheap and cheerful, but [...]
June 6th Update: We made it! After a week straight of travel and more than a few days without any sleep, we are in Cairns, Australia. We rest here for a few days before boarding our last plane for a while…to Brisbane.Stay tuned for the upcoming World Nomads adventures to come! In the meantime, [...]
The panoramic (and dramatic) view from our 10th floor hospital room in Chiang Mai.
My, what an adventure May has been for us! We are thankful to be putting it behind us, and moving on to greener pastures. At least our time in the hospital included free WiFi, and so I was able [...]
Hospital Update May 30th – GOOD NEWS! Kelly is on the mend. The fever has broken, and the blood tests are starting to move in the right direction. We will be released tomorrow (Saturday), in time to board the train for the 4-day ride to Singapore, with one day to spare to catch our flight [...]

Hospital Update May 27th: It ain’t pretty. That’s all I gotta say. We’re working hard to get Kelly well enough for us to make it to Singapore in time for our flight out on June 5th. We hope it’s all uphill after today. On to more positive things…
Until recently, travelers from all over [...]
Hospital Update May 26th: Although Kelly’s fever is starting to subside (it comes in waves), his blood count continues to show signs of deteriorating health. We hope that today is “rock bottom”. It is obvious that we will not be on the train scheduled for Tuesday (tomorrow), nor will we be out of the country [...]
Hospital Update May 25th: We are settled in at Chiangmai Ram hospital here in Chiang Mai. The digs are pretty nice (as nice as a hospital can be), and there is a nearby shopping center where I can get anything that Kelly desires. Kelly feels better, but is running a constant fever, has [...]
