After 18 hours of bus and vans with questionable a/c, our
squad is in Hua Hin, in Southern Thailand for a week of much needed debrief.
We’ll be joined by our amazing coaches Ms. Patti and Mike. I’m looking forward to our time with them!! 🙂 These individuals work tirelessly for our squad. I’m sure they’re jetlagged to the maximus each time they visit us, but they never show it.
Our team will be headed back to Chiang Rai in Northern
Thailand for month #5. One more team will be in Thailand, three teams will be
headed to Vietnam, and two will return to Cambodia.

I celebrated my birthday in Asia for the first time in 20
years. While 14.5 hours of it was travelling on a bus, my super teammates made
sure that it would be a special day. They
made it the best birthday ever! I felt like I was on the amazing race,
having to complete (pretty outrageous) tasks to receive various gifts. Some
tasks were cute, some were embarrassing, but some were flat out enjoyable! 😉
Thanks REV217!! And thank you to everyone for their birthday wishes!! Forever
27, woot!! 😀 haha
