Again, I wake up REALLY early. With all that sleep yesterday, maybe I shouldn't be so surprised. We are at the airport hotel so there's really very little I can do. I read in the bathroom for an hour or two.
At 6:30 the gym opens. I decide to have a workout. Once again, I realize that there are gyms in North Carolina, one in my building actually, but there weren't too many other compelling options.
I do some cardio. Then I try to lift. I pick up some 10's. Holy Smokes. Less than a week has gone by and these seem really really heavy. How did I lose the little strength I acquired so quickly? Then I realize that the weights are in Kilos and I decide to just skip the workout. It's too mentally taxing to have to do all these conversions and after that cardio, I'm not feeling very well.
In fact, I go back to the hotel room and start hugging the toilet a little bit. And that Malaria pill I took a few hours ago, well, that's no longer in my system.
Teri hears it all is like "Jamie, what are you doing? Be quiet." I respond "Um, Teri, I'm puking." That doesn't really make her any less annoyed at being woken. I head to the business center to e-mail some friends who are Drs. about what to do. The medication is no longer in me, so should I take another? But, if it makes me sick, then will this just happen again?
After checking out, Teri and I head to the airport and zip up to Laos. We get to the airport and all that cash that I had put aside for Laos is taken for my Visa. And Teri's. I'm annoyed. I didn't forsee this. I hate hate hate paying money for money but now that I'm out, I'll have to do that.
Our hotel picks us up. In an old white Mercedes.
We have a lovely little lunch. We are happy.
We take a long walk. Get lost. Teri is snapping photos. Click on the picture of the girl with the bucket below to see the photos from that walk.

Tomorrow we take the our trek. Excited!
