		<title>Climbing Waterfalls In Thailand</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here are a few short videos you may enjoy from our recent explorations around Chiang Mai, Thailand&#8230; &#160; A waterfall this steep would normally be very slippery and nearly impossible to climb without advanced climbing skills and equipment. However, this was limestone which had a tendency to grip your feet. &#160; Nok also climbed a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Panda Lantern</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hey Everyone!  I haven&#8217;t posted on this personal blog much over the past several months because I was living in Oregon (in the woods) with a satellite internet connection and it was too slow to upload video.  Oddly enough, now that I&#8217;m back in Thailand, I have a high speed internet connection, and once again [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thai Tigers are Just Big Pussycats ..</title>

This video was taken just moments after the photo.  I don&#8217;t think they&#8217;d be having that much fun if [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Would you like to make the next 12-months your best year ever? If you&#8217;ve been reading my blog then you know that somehow I&#8217;ve managed to include a lot of fun, travel, and adventure in my life. I&#8217;m not independently wealthy.

		<title>Long Tail Boat Ride in Railay</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After Bali, we returned to Thailand where my father, Don, and his friend Bonnie, joined us for several days of island hopping off the Andaman coast. Our first stop was Phuket, which was a bit too busy for our taste, but the beach at Kata was perfect, and the ladyboy cabaret in the party-town of [...]]]></description>

		<title>We&#8217;re Bananas Over Monkeys!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are a lot of monkeys in Bali.  I had never been so up close and personal with a bunch of wild monkeys before. These guys and gals were used to being around people, but they weren&#8217;t domesticated.  I trusted them enough to get close, but I didn&#8217;t want them climbing all over me.  Here&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Going a Little Batty in Bali !</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Bats were a big part of our experience in Bali.  We stayed at this wonderful hotel in Manduk, a high altitude village where many people go for trekking. The rain forest is teaming with life up there and, while our hotel was neat and clean, we liked to keep the windows open at night to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Trekking in Bali</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Trekking near Munduk was a blast! Not only were the waterfalls spectacular, but it was interesting to see how some people still live very simply, in small homes built alongside the trail, cultivating gardens in the forest, and sometimes raising a few livestock. We decided not to hire a guide, even though it was recommended, [...]]]></description>
