What are the community's well wishes and advice for Tod's upcoming trip to the US?
Just a heads up to the members of the group.
I'm fixin' to leave for a trip to the US today. I'll be gone until the 18th. I haven't been back to the US in almost 10 years (and haven't been outta thailand in almost 9 :O )
Try not to tear the group to pieces okay? There are a LOT of very competent members now and I think most of the questions can be answered without threads turning into a pissing match between posters.
I'll check in as much as I can, take care :)

Is it really true that you were deported for being overly helpful to people? I also heard that you were going to sneak back in via Cambodia and have a new identity Dan Todiels. I like it! Who would guess?

Do NOT spend too much of your short time back home after so many years worrying about what's going on here. Try to stay in the present moment and enjoy it as much as you can. Whatever happens here is gonna happen whether you're here or not. Safe and happy trails to you!!! (Besides, barely two weeks is a drop in the bucket of life.)
