Thailand?? Living the dream my friend. Love the food!! Closest I've come is Hawaii a couple of times. I'm from Western Massachusetts. Not a huge college ball guy but like Boston College and Michigan (my dad lives north of Detroit). I am a huge Pats fan, and sad to say a 49ers fan too from back in the Montana days. I would love to spend some time in your neck of the woods someday. I absolutely love Asian culture. Enjoy yourself brother!! Winter is a coming and Massachusetts is no place to be.
