Thanks for answering!! I wish I could take more time but my flights were set a while ago. I did not know about Chiang Mai -- too bad for me!
I looked at your website and blog and read a lot Sounds like a lot of fun. I've posted my website, the natural building one, to my profile.
It may be early for people to know what they'll be doing. I will stay in touch with the message board.
