So I've had a number of questions posed me about various aspects of our trip, so I thought I would elucidate you all.
Q. Who watched your kids?
A. My magnanimous and ever-generous mother-in-law, Zan. I swear, this lady just gives and gives. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Q. So, wait, your hair is like three different colors throughout your pictures.... what the crap?
A. Yes, that's right. I refer you to this post in the which I describe the fiasco
that led to the bleachiness.
About 4 days-ish into our trip, we found an amazing hair stylist, Lily, in Chiang Mai at like 9:30pm who did two foils and OCD'ed on my cut until she was happy with it. So I LOVED what she did, she put in some darker colors.
However, by the time we got to the island (still haven't posted about that), the sun had bleached most of that color out and we were left with multi-colored blonde (tiger pictures). Which I also love.
And here we are today, with my hair looking something like this:
Q. Weren't you afraid the tigers were going to, you know, eat your face off? (thanking Elsie for that phrase...)
A. Actually, no, I wasn't afraid at all. Here are my reasons:
1. The first tiger we saw was so fat it could barely waddle all the way down the road to the shade trees with her friends. Probably she'd already eaten her German tourist for the day and was digesting.
2. It was early afternoon. Everyone knows that that's the best time to catch a...
wait for it....
CAT NAP
3. There were so many people there telling you what you could do, where you could walk/sit/stand/touch the tiger that it was honestly beyond controlled. Trust me, I pushed my boundaries to get cooler pictures and they were all over me, shaking their heads at me and moving my hands/pushing me back.
4. Honestly, any wild animal raised in captivity and constantly surrounded by humans -- maybe I'm too trusting of the creatures -- but if you ask me, in that situation, they're going to be able to handle those kinds of stresses much more easily than one that was captured.
Feel free to continue to ask your questions. I'll edit this post to include new ones should they arise. I'll do my best to continue to post installments on our Thailand trip, hopefully I can drag it out until this time next year... Yeah, hopefully NOT.

You are a hot momma.
thanks for going to Thailand to see elephants and tigers. I now have to take my wife there, although it looks worth it.
You have been having a lot of fun! You look gorgeous!
