Recovery Days
We're still hanging out in Luang Prabang to make sure Nicole's fully recovered before we attempt another bus ride. Finally developed a roll of pictures and scanned them onto our memory card. The camera doesn't capture colors as well as our digital camera did and I think some quality is lost in the scanning process, but I think we still took some decent shots. Nicole is feeling better each day and I think we'll start heading north towards Luang Namtha tommorrow.
We have spent the last couple days reading, watching movies, typing away on the internet. It's been nice to take a short break, but we're both looking forward to moving on. It feels like we've been here too long, but we don't want to take any chances with recorruing sickness. It's a luxury to have the time to rest like this while traveling, so we're making sure to take advantage of it while we can. 
Nicole arranged a trip to visit Audrey in Taipei, so we've officially added Taiwan to the itenerary. We fly out of Bangkok on the 2nd and will spend the weekend with Audrey and her husband, Terrance. With a flight to Hong Kong the weekend after, it looks like we'll be back into a more intense travel pace in February.

Scott- It is possible we would go to Lake Baikal. We are pretty much set on doing an overland arc from Thailand through Cambodia and Vietnam into China, but to head west from there we have a few options.
There is a newly-opened railway from Beijing to Lhasa, Tibet (from there we could travel through Nepal to India) which sounds awesome. This plan depends on things in that region staying relatively stable.
On the other hand, the Trans-Siberian railway sounds like a great way to head west as well. There is a route that goes from Beijing through Mongolia and then into Russia- if we went that way we would definitely stop at Irkutsk (I want to go there because of all those games of risk, too- is that so wrong?) and visit Lake Baikal.
Nice, switching to the Risk method of travel planning! And of course don't forget Mongolia.
Dear Nicole,
I'm glad to hear that you are feeling better but I do have one other concern. Who is that hairy guy with the dew rag I keep seeing in the pictures and what did you do with Andrew???
Love,
Wayne & Judy
hello!
Andrew, it seems that you have solved the issue related to enlarging the photos...Nice!
I really like the one of you at the desk, ..rather like a movie set or something. It is finally winter here. Very beautiful.
Love hearing about your adventures..thanks for really putting the time into it.
Love to you both, mom
Andrew you look like a total ex-pat! Nicole, glad to hear that you're feeling better! Hope the new year treats you both well! Safe travels!
