Ok, so now that we are back, caught up on sleep and gotten over some wicked jet lag now it's time for.....

THE RE-CAP UPDATE!!!!!

So what is the re-cap update? Well, quite simply we took thousands of photos (no joke!) while on the trip and only posted about 500 of them. So here is a quick re-cap of the trip from start to end, but only picking out a "select few" of the un-used photos.

We will start doing our "front page" updates which will consist of about 3 to 4 pages of photos on each park in about a week or two.

Usually in a re-cap update, I end up going back and finding some REALLY embarassing photos that I think "Why the hell didn't I use these before??!?!" Anyways, here goes!

THE OFFICIAL THEME PARK REVIEW ASIA RE-CAP UPDATE!!!!

We made a quick stop at "RCT Park" where we saw duck races, shotgun rides, and temples down an abondoned path. Are you sure we're not dreaming this up, fast asleep in a self-service car wash somewhere?

Wow, creepy! And I thought I was the only one that feel asleep in self-service car washes and dreamt about bizarre Japanese coaster trips!

The last pic of Elissa back in LA is classic. Maybe you should send that picture to the people in charge of tourism for California. :b
