Travels with Neil and Connie

4 Great Friends Together

Sometimes to meeting people that change your world. This page is dedicated to just two very special people, Neil and Connie!

They introduced Thailand to us and showed us a little bit more of the world we had not seen. Thanks Guys for the fun, antics, crazy humour and friendship.
