Dear Friends who care/pray.....

Thanks for either caring or praying for us!

In March/April we spent 6 weeks in New Zealand, putting over 5,000 km's on our rental car.  Then we went to Cairns in Far North Queensland for 5 weeks where we met up with my mom for two weeks.   New Zealand is beautiful and Far North Queensland wonderful!  However, now that Ruby and I are in Thailand I feel as though Asia is truly where we are meant to be (at least for now, ha!).  And so, here we are in Chiang Mai and as hot as it is we are managing and adapting quite well to the culture and the heat. I have been hesitant to go to the Indian Consulate, but we finally did yesterday and I had no idea how relieved I would be. It is true, Thailand is a detour for us at this point, and our India visas our on their way, we can pick them up in a week. For those of you who don't know, Ruby's godfather, Father Joe Periera, invited us to come India after I told him how much it has been on my mind and heart. The reason for the hesitation is because I have been to India (3 times), so I know what it's like.  It is not easy travelling in India. This will be the first time for Ruby. travelling alone with a 4 year old has its challenges and combine that with travel in India and well, any prayers or positive thoughts are much appreciated. I will get our tickets next week after we get our visas and will probably go to Mumbai in July or possibly August.


I am a bit techinically challenged at the moment, so photos are lacking on this blog. Please excuse that and consider me old fashion and just use your imagination (like the old days!), I will do my best to be diligent about writing and descriptive of our experiences.

We miss family and friends but definitely feel we are on the path we are meant to be on. Thanks for prayers and any emails; comments; notes; etc are very appreciated.

Love & Namaste, Dayna & Ruby
