Thailand is an amazing country…A little history…..Beginning in the 1800s, Asian nations were gradually falling under European rule. Yet despite Europe’s growing military, economic, and political dominance in the Eastern hemisphere, one country prevailed as the sole nation untouched by colonialism; Thailand (then known as Siam). Under difficult yet unprecedented circumstances, Thailand maintained its sovereignty. Pretty interesting, considering they have to straddle both sides during WW2….Hope they have a great day Wednesday before departing at 1 am Thursday( 2pm Wednesday Eastern time)… Next up , the Republic of Singapore which is an island Country at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, and almost right on the equator!

Also checked the Donate section and see we are at almost $15,000! Keep up the great work, and tell your family and friends about this amazing odyssey, every little bit counts BIG.

Special thanks to Cousin Steve Marcopoto for catching up with Ed and Zvi for breakfast… bringing a little Jersey homestyle to our aviators now halfway around the world.
