It’s 6:55 am and I’m waiting for both my compatriots and the first flight of my journey. Last time I traveled it was late afternoon and I was able to have a nice glass of wine to settle my nerves. Today I’ll have to settle for the hot milk that is in my latte to take care of that part.

By the calendar, I’ll be flying for about 2 days. In actuality, it’s closer to 1 day of in flight time. Three flights: Minneapolis to Chicago; Chicago to Seoul, S. Korea; Seoul to Bankok.

1 day in Bangkok for a tour of a floating market and the bridge over the river Kwai. Then a flight over to Krabi, where we will start the build.

6 days in Krabi. Building the house for our new friends and seeing some of the islands.

Back to Bangkok for approximately 2 days and then back to the States… Which in reverse calendar time takes less than 1 day for about 24 hours.

And we’re off!
