We all know it is a good thing that he does. Maybe we can slip a margarita into his suitcase for you.

it’s okay to make him feel real bad. hope you guys have a great week at camp. it seemed odd not making the trip to texas in our over loaded van. i mean he left here with 2 suitcases and no rubber maid tubs… how will he ever get by??

Cereal’s expensive there??? I never thought much of anything was expensive there, but it’s been awhile! You and the kids will be ok, it is hard to be without extended family (and fav junk food) for awhile, but they’ll realize later that they couldn’t have been luckier to have such an amazing experience!!!! I was 11 when I first moved overseas, it was a hard transition, but I’m so happy I was given the opportunity!!!

i can’t even begin to imagine all the benefits this experience will bring my kids – certainly worth missing out on a few of their favorite foods.

we’re finding that most imported items are expensive. sometimes that’s just in comparison to other items here, but a lot of times it’s 2 or 3 times more expensive than in the states. that’s what it is with cereal…

Villa in Bangkok carries quite a bit of American goodies and I would be more than happy to send anything you need your way–cereal, canned stuff, baking stuff, etc. Please don’t hesitate to let me know if I can help. I remember how lost I felt when I first moved back to Bangkok from St. Louis and kept wondering where they kept the Dr. Pepper!

dr. pepper, you can get dr. pepper?? we’ve heard that the consulate here has it… a11′s the only one of us who prefers it and she’s coming around to coke. we can get a good deal of what we want here, it’s the odds and ends that get us. and then the things we didn’t think of. cereal is just so expensive that we’re trying to stear the kids away from it…

thanks so much for the offer – i will definitely keep it in mind.

I know how rough it can be. I’m staring at my last can of Chef Boyardee Beefaroni right now!

the kids have forgotten all about spaghetti-os. thank goodness!! i figure whenever we do make that first trip back to the states we will all gain 20 lbs. cuz we don’t miss the healthy stuff. :D

and thanks for the offer of a care package. michael should be returning with some goodies, hopefully they will hold us over.

Hell, my family lives within driving distance (8-10 hours) and we still haven’t been back. It’s harder than you think. And sad too.

thanks. it is harder than we realized it would be
