I guess I'm buying the first round for all...you too Ronnie cuz you're old now.

OK, I'll claim it in the next season (2008)

JJ, you sound like a nice kid. Those plans you outlined in your last submission sound much better to me than your original idea. Take your time and build something for yourself in El Paso before you start traveling. At your age, unlike most of us here, you should be able to shag some young nice senoritas anywhere. As Maligator pointed out, try to see more than just Chiang Mai. You will need probably more than 2 weeks. If possible, since it will be your first visit, take a friend with you, so you can watch each other's back. Don't chat the girls on the net. They just make go nutty. And read the reader's submissions on www.stickmanbangkok.com you may learn something useful (how to stay out of trouble).

Good luck!
