Beaches, bridge and broken power adapters
March 4th, 2010
You may have noticed a brief lull in our posting. You could blame it on the fact that we are on Koh Tao, a tropical Thai paradise island with ample snorkel and relaxation opportunity. You could blame it on Mike and Sarah: we are having way too much fun and playing way too many hands of bridge (or not enough, no such thing as too much bridge). Or you could blame it on the fact that our computer power adapter has hit the fan. Ironically, it ceased charging our computer just days after purchasing a new battery. We have to pay exorbitant amounts of Baht to receive a new one here in Thailand. The new battery and power adapter monetarily equate to a new iPad. Oh how I wish we had one of those over my clunky old Powerbook. Our new power cord is supposed to arrive today. We are hoping they got it right and we’ll be back online with photos and fun in no time.

Hey, the iPad is on my wish list for the spring.
In the meantime you have to suffer with the technology you have. Just imagine what it would have been like if you were doing the same travels 20 years ago

I hope your new power adapter arrived safe and sound for Mark’s birthday!
I miss playing bridge already. I just don’t understand why the whole world doesn’t play bridge. People don’t know what they’re missing… seriously.
I hope you’re back up and running soon. Mike and I are chomping at the bit (is that how you say it?) to see some photos from our adventures! We’ll be in touch soon. Lovey!
