  1. I’ve not visited ANY of these places yet! Must try harder :)we almost went to the one in Krabi, but we went to Malaysia instead. Oh well there is always next year :)

  2. Whilst not condoning the act of not washing hands, Ted, I think it’s a bit extreme to rule out entire countries based on an assumption that won’t apply to all.

  3. Wow Ted, tell us how your racist ass really feels. As a person, married to a Mexican, a Mexican with more degrees than your idiotic racist ass will ever hope to have, way to insult an entire country by your bigoted, inane remarks. Mexico is the 13th largest country in the world, filled with UNESCO Heritage sites and resorts and private villas to swoon over. Go back to your porch and keep rocking so you don’t get any Mexican germs, Archie Bunker!
