After relaxing at our mid-trip break hotel at the Dusit Laguna on Phuket Island, Thailand, we are off to Trang. Destination number 7 of 10 in this month long journey. As we have learned along the way, the plans can be altered at any time and any place depending on what is presented.
About 1 hour from our destination (approximately 3-4 hour trip), our tour van started to overheat. The driver quickly pulled to the side of the road. We hung out on the side of the road in the limited shade. As a team, we have been able to handle the changes or situations stress free. Much different for some of our lives back in North America. Yes... at home, I like to be on time and ready.
We waited as the driver tried to cool the engine down. We were back on the road about a half hour later to find ... that we needed to pull over the van for good (or at least longer). The Rotarians with us, called ahead to Trang to find some help for us. We were able to relax, read our books, write in our journals and laugh that the schedule is a merely a guideline and things happen.
About an hour later, reinforcement had arrived and we were off to Trang.
(As soon as we can, we will add some pictures of this adventure.)

I am enjoying your postings and pics immensely. Sorry you were delayed on your trip to TRang. Would this have been worse in two feet of snow???
Have fun along the way and don't forget to smell the roses.
Hi team. I have been continually monitoring your progress and watching the pictures through this blog. I just knew I should have hid into one of your bags. I am most thrilled you are obviously having a very successful GSE experience. I so look forward to your return and sharing the experience, especially at our upcoming District Conference.
All my best to you all!!!
