First Time Reader of our Blog?
Welcome! If you're new to our blog, we hope you enjoy our record of the trip. If you are a regular reader checking back in to see if we've posted anything new, well. Not really. We have heard from Tsultrim Lama's niece in India that she is trying to get a visa to come visit America and would be our guest if she is able to get one. It takes over 2 months even to get an appointment with the American consulate in Delhi! So it may be a long time before she is able to set foot in New England. But we are still hoping.
For new readers: our blog (like all blogs) reads in reverse chronological order, with the oldest entry at the very bottom of the page and the most recent one at the top. The entire blog loads onto this page, though you can also jump to parts of the month through the archives, and by using the "previous posts" links on the right hand side of the page.
An overview of our trip:
23 June 2005: we departed Logan Airport, had a layover in Seoul Korea, and landed in Bangkok
24-27 June: at the Royal River Hotel on the Chao Praya River in Bangkok
28 June: we flew from Bangkok to Paro, Bhutan, via Calcutta India
29 June: we stay in Paro and hike Taksang Monastery, then drive to Thimphu
30 June-31 July: we live in a guest house above the Jigme Dorji Wangchuk National Referral Hospital, where Don is a volunteer for Health Volunteers Overseas.
18-29 July: our children attend Chagangka Lower Middle Secondary School in Thimphu. Halle is in Pre-Primary ("PP"), Jacob is in the second level, Forrest in fourth, and Thompson in sixth.
31 July: we drive to Paro and stay overnight
1 August: we fly from Paro to Bangkok via Calcutta, then take a plane from Bangkok to Siem Reap, Cambodia
1-4 August: at the Royal Angkor Resort Hotel in Siem Reap, sightseeing at Angkor Wat
4-5 August 2005: long flight home via Seoul
Enjoy!
