The Washington Post article on our "midlife adventure"

I said the previous post was our last, but then we decided to send a report about our trip to Thailand to The Washington Post in response to their invitation in "What a Trip" in the Travel section to tell them about a trip you had taken in the last 12 months.  To our surprise, they published our report in the next week's Sunday paper.  Below is a copy of the article.  The pictures were black-and-white in the print edition of the paper (but in color in the online edition), so we decided to substitute color pictures in this scan of the print edition.  If any of our readers would like to explore making a similar trip themselves, we'd recommend going to volunthai.com and seeing how they can help you.  They made our trip possible.
