In the top ten

We had to be gone for 10 days recently.  Our trip home started the night before we left.

Tuesday evening 11pm: Zach vomits all over guesthouse bed.
Wednesday morning at 4:20 we depart on cross country trip across thailand back to our home in Laos.
4:45 am More puking ensues. Zach and Eva have raging fevers.
The Cole car is a rolling stinking puking pooping party.
Everyone is affected.  Jan is conked out and sleeps half the day.
Nathan should have purchased toothpicks to prop his eyelids open.
3pm arrive in udon at international hospital. Nate and Jan get a general physical.
Hospital goes better than expected. So off to Makro to buy some basic foodstuffs.
9pm arrive back in Laos.
Our pump is still broken so we go out to the pump about 10pm to prime it.  There we notice that someone has degrassed our backyard.  The lawn has been scraped up leaving bare earth over 60% of the yard.
I ask the guard not to do this any more.  He says ok.  Jan and I go between laughter and frustration over the situation.  Who would have thought that house sitting instructions should include not tearing up the lawn!
11:30ish in bed ...up multiple times for more kids problems.


This ranks in the top 10 travel misadventures
