Terrific story! I never would've imagined that Thailand was such a beautiful vacation spot, but you sure have opened my eyes. Ah, and I love the sense of adventure in this - and the reminder that sometimes we shouldn't think so darn much... just DO. Thank you, Tami Wow. Terrific story!

I'll try to keep the edited version or at least change names so nobody will know what you all are really like, haha. Thanks for all the comments and support.....and for all the stories we made along the way. There are plenty more stories to tell, and I’m sure you’ll all be included in them.

You went from where the f#$% are my boys to probably the biggest shit eating grin I have ever seen...I also remember the look on your face when you had to go home and every ounce of you wanted to stay. I am actually making a trip back to Thailand this october...Any one want to join? Kenny,

I know we live so far apart and have such different lives, but have one great thing in common --- our good friend Craig! I envy your stories but can only add to the adventure. In your trips and traveling, I joined up for what I thought would be a great time, way to many drinks and maybe even meet some girls. Meeting up with you guys down in Mexico was like winning the Lottery! No pun intended! Through your adventures, I met my now wife. Who would have thought a random trip associated to the 2 of you would equal meeting the woman of my dreams? Well I always expected that, but only thought it was the girl of my dreams for that moment. I hope I was able to share both my admiration and thanks to both you and Craig at my wedding. The both of you are always on the tip of my tongue when telling some of my best stories. I wish you the best in everything you do and aspire to do in life. You guys are always welcome out in MN anytime! By the way, snow has melted and it getting nice again, so feel free to come anytime.

You did a really good job of capturing that instant where a person finds themself on the edge of a cliff, wondering whether to jump or not. Maybe for guys like us there isn\'t really a choice at all - just jump. Got this story from Craig — good stuff.
