Heading Home






It was a collaborative effort between Buddha in Thailand and Ganesh in India and with their help and blessings we have now finished our 10 month journey collecting (and replacing) all our missing parts and pieces. The new international bionic Janet will be arriving this morning with a new hip from India and a new smile from Thailand. I'll be the one with the bags, especially the ones under my eyes.








Oh, and those precious sculptures we rescued from India should be coming to Maui in month....if we are lucky and Ganesh hasn't started slacking on the job and taken up surfing.

India Revisited















Neither incompetent shippers nor serious chest cold will stop the fearless duo (Janet and I) from retrieving our cargo from India. We are now quite sure that had we not come to India we would never have seen our cargo again. There is no end to the middle man in India, even our driver had to stop and 'consult' several people before we arrived at our known destination. Our new shipper is also in the constant process of consulting about how to get our cargo to Maui. Our goal is to do in 5 days what has not happened in the last 6 months. Can we do it? Stay tuned.

On the Road Again....



We're leaving Bangkok, the land of giant billboards and great street food to enter again the land of the Holy Cow and more great street food; India.
