I'm so re-inspired to write in my fancy smancy blog. I love it! Friendster was wearing me down! haha. Juries are over, school is almost finished. I'm teaching some last make-up lessons tomorrow and then I'm finished for the semester. WAHOO! Dave and I have been looking over all the traveling we're doing this spring. It's kind of ridic but waaaay exciting. I've talked about our big bike trip but right after that we're heading to Hong Kong instead of coming back to Bangkok. It'll be Songkran (thai new year) and I do not want to be here for that again. Last year, Dave was still in the states during Songkran and I got my butt kicked at the water festival. It was an intense day filled with guys grabbing my hiney, soaking wet clothes and white paste all over my face, glasses and hair. Yikes...So yeah, bring on the Hong Kong. I've heard such great things about HK..if anyone has been, please give us some tips. We're trying to go budget there but it seems tough. We're staying at a basic hotel and it's $85 a night. I think we could go cheaper if we shared a bathroom but umm..hi? That's gross. Anyway...our first trip is to Hanoi in early March. I'm way excited for that and Hanoi is super cheap so that'll be fun. I can't wait for a colonial French feel in Asia..I can't even imagine. Then Singapore for a visit with friends. Gotta get to Singapore....then a trip to Burma after the Bike trip to help teach at various music schools. I'm waay excited for that because I'll be the first French horn player to teach there!! Isn't that sweet? I think there is one player there! Oh, that'll be a real highlight for me...and seeing what it's like there. I must say I'm pretty curious. Then one last trip again to Vietnam, this time Ho Chi Minh. Real curious to see the war museum..we've heard the city is like Bangkok. Ummm..hi? I think that's it.

So in case you haven't checked out our youtube, we have Cheddar singing "If you're Cheddar and you know it..." It's cool but I'm moving on to harder tunes. I'm teaching him Old McCheddar had a farm..but it's really hard. It may take some time but I'll get that soon! hahaha.

I think that's about it for now. I'll be updating more soon. Dave's taking me somewhere next week and it's a surprise. I can't wait to see where we're going! YAYAYAYAYYAYAY!
