HI everyone, I thought i would let you all know,-------- louise is now in Thialand. She took a plane from Hong Kong to Bangkok. from there she went by overnight sleeper to northern Thailand to Chiang Mai. at present she is on a hill tribe trek - with a tour group. Sh will be away from a comp or phone connections -------- so I dont expect to hear from Louise till tuesday at least. She is due back in Chaing Mai then . Then she returns to Bangkok. I expect she will update her Journal then . I do get texts from louise , but she warned me that the connections might be poor in the mountains. YOurs, joan -- Mum of the intrepid traveller
