Small World

I received an email this morning with a surprising connection and an interesting suggestion...

• It was from a reader of this blog who wrote to me some time ago with a question that gave me fodder for a couple of posts here.
  
  
• It turns out that his father and uncle went to school with me.
  
  
• He lives in Japan and is going to the 2010 Asia Pacific Laser Masters in Thailand next March and suggested that I should go too.

Hmmm. That's a thought. Anybody else out there thinking of going? Anyone know what it's like sailing at the Royal Varuna Yacht Club? Any advice on tourism in Thailand generally?

Now let's see if this idea involves more hours sitting in planes than sitting on a Laser...
