House in Laos

Well, we are coming up on two weeks in Luang Prabang and this September marks 12 months of living out of backpacks.  Finally we have found our new home.  It's a beautiful little house with banana trees and a deck overlooking the rolling hills of Luang Prabang.  We heard there's a local herbal sauna and massage place across the street, which will be investigated immediately.  It's in a great location just a five minute bike ride from town, although just about everything is five minute bike ride here.  We move in this Friday and will try to post photo's as soon as we can.  There's a nice room with its own balcony waiting for visitors!

And so it continues...

We are officially moving to Luang Prabang, Laos in less than 48 hours.  Things have come together perfectly in the past few weeks and we are ready.  We've transformed this:

into this:

and managed to fill it with lots of clothes, a juicer, frying pan, bose sound system and good knives, the essentials right?  As we traveled we brought as little as we could but now that we are settling in one place it is difficult to sort out what is worth a spot in that very valuable 200lb weight limit.  But we feel pretty confident with what we packed and Thailand's not too far away, where we can get most anything we forgot.

We will continue to use this blog as a way to share photos, experiences and thoughts.  We again can't thank you enough for all the support and love you have shared with us.  We couldn't make this move without it.

Love,

Meg and Tad
