Thailand Bound

I've finally gotten to the bottom of my to do list with blog, bank, and hostel reservation left. Dylan's list is a little longer so I'll have to be the one to write the first blog. I'm not quite sure about this blogging thing, I've never been good at group emails and hopefully this will be a little less painful for everyone, those reading it and me and Dylan being good about keeping people updated...

Dylan and I are headed to JFK tomorrow afternoon. We have quite the flight ahead of us; we leave at 10:40pm and arrive in Phuket, Thailand at 11:20am on Thursday, it's 11 hours ahead, but it's still over 24 hours long but with plenty of ambien we'll make it.

We'll spend the first 10 days exploring around Phuket and maybe get a chance to see some other parts of Southern Thailand, not really sure how difficult it is to get places, guess we'll figure it out when we get there. We meet with our group of 35 teachers for a TESOL course starting on the 28th and will spend 3 weeks taking classes. From there we'll go to Bangkok for a 5 day orientation and for now it sounds like after that we're headed to the rural town of Chaiyaphum, in Northeastern Thailand, to teach high schoolers...that's what we know for and we'll keep you updated the best we can and hopefully be able to put some pictures up to make everyone jealous.
