Almost finished!

Well, I am spending my last night in Thailand(Chiang Mai)tonight and fly back to Bangkok tomorrow morning, then leave for Japan tomorrow night and arrive in the morning on Sat. Sorry I have not been able to respond to any emails, I have just been very busy! I wish I had time to upload some photos and stuff, but I will do all that when I get home. This has been such an awesome trip. To give you some highlights, in Cambodia, The temples of Baeng Maleia and Bayon were my favorites, and canoeing through the mangrove forest was so cool. Here in Thailand, I visited Tiger Temple and had my picture taken with a full grown tiger resting his head in my lap. But today was amazing because I went to the Elephant Nature Park and fed and bathed elephants. It was fantastic! (I'm running out of adjectives!) They were so gentle taking the pumpkins, bananas, and watermelons out of my hands and enjoyed getting their backs scrubbed in the river. I had so much fun, I barely noticed the huge elephant poop that floated by and knocked into my leg while I bathed the big guy.
Of course I will go into much more detail when I can get my pictures uploaded, but I am so happy about this trip. I met the best people during my travels. And for the worried family, I have been safe and sound the whole time. I saw a few things that I wish I hadn't, and a woman tried to take 20 Baht from me, but overall it has been great. Oh, and lucky me has been sick pretty much the entire trip, but I didn't let that stop me from doing (or eating) anything! I bet most people didn't even know I was sick!
So get ready for lots of pictures and more of me babbling about how awesome everything was!
I hope you all had a great new year celebration!!
Love you!!
