How do you get malaria in the prairies of Canada!!!
On Friday on our way from Saskatoon to Burstall, Paul started getting achy and sore. Then started putting on jackets and sweaters in 30 degree weather (at this point Heidi already had a diagnosis). We got to our friends house and Paul was shaking and achy and had a pounding headache. Then he got hot. It subsided and we got a decent night's rest. Saturday morning we went to the hospital Medicine Hat and after 7 hours of waiting around we finally got the prescription we needed, but not soon enough, because Paul went through the chills and shakes again.
Thank you for your prayers, Paul is doing better, although the side effects from the medication are not very nice. We have cancelled our trip to Lethbridge and will rest one more day before going on to Airdrie.

Thanks
We are glad that people have enjoyed this blog, we have enjoyed reading comments that people have left. We want to give credit where credit is due, so a big thanks to my sister Ruth Nellis for posting everything, arranging pictures and catching all the spelling mistakes. Internet was a little slow in PNG so it was hard to upload pictures.
Thanks Ruth.
Thanks Ruth.

On our way home
We are sitting in a guesthouse in Bangkok, Thailand. We've woken up too early (6:30 am) and are hungry. Waiting for the restaurant to open. We have really enjoyed our time here in Thailand, where we visited Koh Phi Phi and Ao Nang beach in Krabi province. Highlights have been relaxing on the beach, rock climbing for Paul, a Thai cooking class for Heidi, and the delicious FOOD!!! Some downers have been some days of rainy weather, which also made for murky water when we attempted to go snorkelling a few times. But all in all, it's been a great time here.
Today we catch a flight to Hong Kong, where we'll stay the night. Then tomorrow is the last leg of our journey home, where we'll arrive in Vancouver to be met by Heidi's parents and Paul's sister, brother in law, and our nephew. We'll post pictures from Thailand once we get back.
