That's the main question that people ask us. The answer is yes, of course. However, we may not necessarily "act" excited right now for two main reasons. First, I don't know how much the idea of going to Thailand for at least 2 years has sunk in yet. Despite having done more research on the country and the culture, it still kind of feels surreal. The great thing is that we have 5+ months before departure to process it and learn more. Secondly, we have 3.5 more months of the '08-'09 school year left with our students. We are dedicated to our students and we want to finish the year well with them. We don't want them to feel "jipped out" of anything because we were too focused on the future. I don't think that it all will sink in until the end of the school year when we have to pack up our classrooms and our apartment, sell our cars and any furniture, and decide which books and articles of clothing are worthy of being brought to Thailand in the few suitcases that we bring. The thought of packing up everything is actually kind of overwhelming, let's just get through the rest of the school year first...
