the trip across the ocean
Great start! At the border crossing in Laos, getting ready to get on the ferry. We're paying these guys to carry our bags down the bank to the river for us... 50 steps down to the river and not so easy w/ kids and bags.
On the passenger ferry, crossing the river to Thailand
Looking back at Laos and all the other passenger boats
A restaurant along the river... looking a little rickety from this angle
The Mighty Mekong... Thailand on the left, Laos on the right
Stepping across three boats to get to shore
We're in Thailand! Here's the tuk-tuk to take us to the airport!
The kids LOVE to travel
The little town across the border now has flights to Bangkok! Woo hoo! The kids can hardly contain their excitement to get on the plane!
The snacks on the flight were great... Antie Anne's cookies!
Unfortunately, the dinner on the flight was awful... Jan and Eva are down the rest of the time with food poisoning... fevers, vomiting, diarrhea. Here's Eva resting in Bangkok.
And here's Jan at the Bangkok airport, puking on the sidewalk, less than excited about the coming flights...
We made it to Taipei! From here on out, Jan goes through airports in a wheel chair. Jan and Eva are showing no signs of recovery.
Waiting to get on the L O N G flight to LA. Which of these doesn't belong? :)
Eva sleeping

Elijah ok, Zach hanging by a thread, Eva constant diarrhea, Jan halfway to heaven
