I got to talk with Aaron last night on skype, which was great! Here's a little update for ya:
He and Sam met each other in the airport in Bangkok. I think it had been about 4 years since they saw each other last (I think). Anyway, they took a 4 hour (air conditioned) bus ride from Bangkok to the border of Cambodia at 7:00am, and spent most of the ride catching up on life. Then they transferred to a shuttle bus in Cambodia, which took them to a nearby town where they caught a 2 hour taxi to Siem Reap, YES, 2 HOURS in a taxi! Luckily, they met a cool Italian guy named Marco, who shared the taxi with them, and a 1/3 of the bill! The 3 of them are staying in a guesthouse in Siem Reap called Two Dragons (And yes Mom, they have a website, so you can read all about it! You know you're going to!)
The 3 of them had traditional Cambodian food for dinner together in Siem Reap and got to bed nice and early, since they're planning to get over to Angkor Wat tomorrow morning to see both the sunrise (5:00am) and sunset from the temples (weather pending)! It was stormy when we talked on skype. So cross your fingers for good weather!
