Countdown to Thailand

We leave in three days.  We have our dental supplies ready to go.  Two 50lb. suitcases with all of our supplies and equipment for 200 patients.

We leave SFO at 1pm on Tuesday, arriving in Bangkok via Seoul Korea at midnight Wednesday.  Thursday we catch up on sleep, spend some time at a mission in Bangkok, then take the overnight train north to Chiang Mai.

On Friday we travel to the village where we will spend the next 8 days where we will be installing a pipe to provide clean drinking water for the villagers and setting up a dental clinic.

We are travelling with Rio Lindo Academy.  This is my third trip with them, Gloria’s fourth.  Previously trips have been to Peru, Mexico, and India.  40 high school kids.   A last minute addition to the group is our youngest son, Greg.  He is a junior at Walla Walla University in Washington, and a former student at Rio Lindo.  He and we are excited that he will be joining us for the next two weeks.
