We should overlap in Chiang Mai by a couple of weeks, see you there! We’re learning to love Luang Prabang, too, it was hard to adjust to, but after a week it’s really grown on us. Don’t miss Laos, it’s wonderful!

We’re leaving for Thailand tomorrow and should be there for 3 months, spending about a month up in Chiang Mai. Then we’ll be heading off to the surrounding countries. Laos is high on our list too.

Not worth sticking needles in him Lyndel, I’m sure enough he has it.There is a small hospital in Vang Vieng, we saw it yesterday, but if anyone was really sick we’d be heading back to Thailand. I was really surprised when I Googled the Dengue rash, it looks like pimples, pretty distinctive. We live with Dengue in Australia, plenty of people we know have been really sick with it ( so they say, or maybe just wanted time off work?), I wonder how many have had it and just haven’t realised? We didn’t know about Dengue last time we travelled like this, either, I’m pretty certain we didn’t even use mosquito repellent.

Alyson,
thanks for your follow up as I am very interested in all of this. I am sorry to Boo is sick–have you thought of getting a blood test so you can know for sure? If he is positive, that means the 2nd time can have complications, right? and that is tough if one is asymptomatic, bc you could have had it and then get the more serious variety next time. Keep me posted on his recovery, and I hope your other one does not fall ill as well. who knows, with all of our traveling pre-kids, we may have had it and did not know it. I can tell you 10- 15 years ago, I was NOT thinking about Dengue or anything else dangerous for that matter….
thanks again
Lyndel
