The tiny plane on United Airlines' Flight Sky Map screen slowly traces our path across the Pacific Ocean. We sleep, eat, drink water (trying to stay hydrated), watch a movie or two, and eventually land at our next destination. Catch another flight and do it again!

| Early Morning Las Vegas Departure |
It is almost midnight when we arrive in Bangkok Thailand. One more flight to go! The last layover seems the longest. Curled up in the darkened waiting area, we sleep a little. When the Air Asia counter opens at 4:30 a.m. we check our bags and find a coffee shop.
Finally after four flights; 39 hours; 14 time zones: we arrive safely in Chiang Mai Thailand, our home base for the next 2 months. (The last 2 months of this trip we will base in India).

| Street Food Carts |
There is a sense of 'being at home' as we explore a profusion of street food carts and choose an afternoon snack of Thai ice tea and banana roti (similar to a stuffed crepe). Then it's time to sleep off the jet lag.
A lifetime of praying, seeking God, planning and dreaming and we have literally stepped into our destiny.
Our hearts are grateful - to you for your loving, prayerful support. To God - for using us to share His love and salvation.
