That pic is of yours truly, with the catch of the day on my last fishing expedition to the far reaches of the... well, Puget Sound. Commencement Bay, exactly. All of us, Tony, Jeff, Frank & Donovan were skunked that day.

The seed for an exotic vacation was planted after a conversation with a couple friends about their trips to Thailand and the high quality of medical care they received. I figured it would be better for me to hang out on a tropical beach while recovering from dental implant surgery than sit around a wet and cold Seattle. Plus, the savings on two implants paid for the entire trip, lodging and meals.

So, after examinations by 3 local dentists and 3 estimates over 13k, I decided I needed to think outside the box.
