Last Days in Laos

Tomorrow we head to the airport, board a waiting plane and leave this country that we have called home for the last three years. The reality of this has certainly not yet set in even as we pack and re-pack bags, have farewell meals, finish and handover work and make last minute purchases. We are certainly looking forward to jumping into a new chapter in our lives, but as always change brings letting go, goodbyes and some tears.

Fun

We left our home in Tha Thom two weeks ago and have been living out of bags at our country rep's home, who has graciously opened her small place to the four of us! While here in Vientiane we have enjoyed many shopping trips (much to Jyoti's delight), many good meals and lots of time savoring the 'lasts.'

This is our last blog entry from Laos. We hope you have enjoyed reading and learning about Laos as much as we have enjoyed experiencing it.
