Could someone over there please call up Mr. Ted Stevens or Mr. Al Gore and let them know that the series of tubes the make us this new-fangled interweb thingy do not seem to be all that reliable over here…

Between the power outages and the irregular internet connections we have had since we got to Krabi, we have been offline for about 3-4 days.

As with most of the other issues we see over here, very few people seem to care, and just go on about their days.  Yesterday when the power was out, all the stores still opened – places that sold drinks brought in chests of ice and food was cooked over gas burners, and the souvenir vendors carried on in the dark, just without the fans that kept their stores cool.

I can’t imagine what would happen back home if the internet went away for a few days, but it is likely one of the signs of the apocalypse.

Anyway we get some online time this afternoon and get a bunch of updates up so that you all know we are still alive, and so that the Sandvig’s have something to read with their morning coffee 😉

We are moving on fron Ao Nang/Krabi tomorrow, and have decided to spend a few days in Khao Lak.  We were originally going to go to Chumphon on the gulf coast, but I think there must be a local holiday or something here as the place we were going to stay is all booked up now.  But no worries, with the day-at-a-time approach we have been using, it was a quick last-minute decision to go elsewhere, and a short van ride tomorrow and another new location awaits us.

That’s all I have for now, time to get my stuff packed up and off to bed 🙂
