6/16 - Pictures Are Here

After reflecting on our trip, we have nothing more to say. Just kidding, but our thoughts are probably best conveyed in person. Feel free to post questions on this site or send us an e-mail.

If you'd like to see a bunch of our pictures, here's the link:

Just click on a thumbnail to see a large version of the picture and a brief caption.

We're glad that we were able to connect with people through this blog. The time we spent blogging was both frustrating and cathartic. It is tough to combine two voices and two perspectives into one story, but we feel it captured the best of what we saw and felt. When we were a bit down or feeling lost, working together to tell our stories helped remind us of the crazy scenes and fun adventures. It also gave us a sense of connection with home.

Thanks again for your interest.

- Steve and Ken

6/11 - Home Again

This is just a quick post to let everyone know that we arrived home safe and sound on the evening of June 2nd. While the service on China Air was excellent, the flight was uneventful. Unfortunately, Ken picked up some sort of a GI "bug" on the way home that put him out of commission for much of our first week back. He's well along the road to recovery now.

We plan to post a better wrap-up and a bunch of pictures - sorry it's taking so long. We're trying to figure out the best method to post the pictures. If you have any suggestions, feel free to comment.

Thanks for checking our blog and for your interest in the trip!

6/2 - Earthquake

It's a bit after 3pm in Taipei, and we're in the airport's private business club. We pleaded for a few free minutes of access, so here it goes.

We left Bangkok successfully yesterday and sat a few rows behind Miss Bolivia (of the Miss Universe contest). We didn't have to guess where she was from as she was still wearing the sash.

We somehow got to a hotel last night without using much English. Just as we were going to turn out the light to retire, a strong earthquake (magnitude of at least 5.6) shook northern Taiwan. It was quite a ride on the 5th floor of the Taoyuan Holiday Hotel.

We checked out the tallest building in the world this morning (Taipei 101) and are leaving shortly for LAX (and looking forward to China Air service!).

Got to go...
