Back from Vacation!!!

I'm back, back, back from my AMAZING trip to South-East Asia! While touring that part of the world I was, of course, thinking of you fabulous readers 100% of the time .... or maybe I was just soaking up the brilliant heat & sun. Either way, I'm back, I've got ideas for the next few columns, and I'd like to say a heartfelt "Thank You!!!" if you've somehow managed to find your way back to this little blog after such an extended abscence.

I'll get to weddings in the next post, of course, but as promised, here are a few pics of my travels

And a few pics of yours truly, only because if I don't, I'll get a bunch of emails asking why not:

Handing out toys to a remote hilltribe in Northern Thailand

Posing by a waterfall (no explanation necessary, I guess) Getting scammed in Vietnam (loong story) Having fun with children at the Hoi An orphanage (hubs in background, children taking photo) My relaxed pose with a 9 foot python Testing out an M-16 (I think) The classic "tourist in front of Angkor Wat" pic And my all-time favorite, taken at Angkor Wat

Well, thats about it for now. If you made it through all these pics, then bravo for you! Until next time .... here's one last one:

I don't think those children are wearing seatbelts
