I am still trying to find out my flight schedule. I will have more information for you after Sunday when we have our monthly teacher seminar with Marc Hall. I am going to look at the apartment they have found for me tomorrow and I will also have that information. I really believe you will be happier if you stay in a hotel close by where I am now - I know how to get here so that wouldn't be a problem. Bob wrote that maybe you would come together - THAT IS WONDERFUL!!! The Chateau De Bangkok is almost as nice as the Marriott and it is cheaper.

Does the amount of money you send me determine the cost of Western Union? In other words, would it cost $43 to send me $1,000? I don't need that much but it seems more economical to send more rather than to have to send it often.

I guess you had better send me some. I sometimes feel like I am being stalked - Ha!!! Not really but I get mail from Utah often and yet the letter with the Visa card from you and Bob sent me some bahts he had left over from their trip and I haven't received either one of those letters. Please don't call me - I am trying to be more economical. I do need to know though if the area code for Utah County is still 801 - someone said it had changed. Just in case I do need to call you. Also - have you received the PIN number for the Visa?

I LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH. MOMXXXXXXOOOOOOOO

Thank you SO much for your quick reply. I believe I will wait a few more days to see if the Visa card will come. In the meantime would you please send me the other one and we'll see if I have better luck in getting that one? I had a letter from Rose Hinton sent from Lehi on August 25th and I got it Aug. 31st. I was going to have you change the zip but I don't believe I will since hers had the 10500 on it - some times the Post Office will change the zip to 10330.

I AM THRILLED THAT YOU AND BOB HAVE YOUR FLIGHT SCHEDULES!!! That will REALLY give me something to look forward to and I will try to have mine made so I can be with you going home. What airline are you flying on?

Have you heard about the Asian games that will be played in Bangkok in Dec.? They have been advertising them since I first arrived and they are supposed to be WONDERFUL. Anyway - I imagine many of the hotels will be filling up so let me know how I can help you.

How are you going to celebrate Julianna's birthday on the 7th - give her my love and I will send her a birthday greeting on e-mail!!!

I LOVE YOU SO VERY, VERY MUCH. MOM XXXXXXOOOOOOO
