Back to reality

So I was in Asia for about 18 days and had an amazing time! I saw gorgeous temples, ate amazing food, rode on an elephant through the jungle, visited with family...I had a really great time.

I was in the Philippines from Jan 4 - Jan 9...then I was in Thailand...from Jan 9 - Jan 16...then back to the Philippines from Jan 16 - Jan 21.

I attended 2 of my cousins weddings...
Emily & Engel - 1/6/08
Shelley & George - 1/19/08

I have a TON of pictures that I am still uploading...check my website: ginacallender.multiply.com/

Hi!!!

Thailand is GORGEOUS!!!! I can't believe now lovely it is here. I have taken tons of pics, but it takes a LONG time to download and I'm paying by the minute here, so I'll prob wait until I get back to the Philippines to download ALL of my pics.

Anyway...I saw some impressive temples, tigers, elephants (I rode one!) and crocodiles...and SHOPPING...this has to be the shopping mecca of the world!

Anyway...I've to to run...check daily for pics here:

checking in...

hi all,
Just thought I'd drop in a say a quick hello. I am currently in Thailand. I got here this afternoon...and tried to acquaint myself with the area...did a little shopping and lucked out and got a battery charger for my digital camera (for 700 baht...roughly $35!!!) So I am so happy about that b/c I was going to be totally bummed if I couldn't take tons of pics while I was here in Thailand.

I got my first Thai massage (OUCH!) they use elbows, knees, and feet...I feel good now, but there we times when it really was uncomfortable...luckily it was only $6 USD...tomorrow I will try the "swedish oil massage" I think it's about $8 USD...and the woman is trying to get me to get a facial...maybe.

Anyhoo...tomorrow I will be touring temples...and Friday...the floating market, an elephant farm, and the rose garden.

I can't wait =)

Hope everyone is doing well...I'm sweltering in this humidity!

Catch up with you'll later!

Ciao!
