If this is your first visit to the site, welcome. Chances are if you are reading this post, you were directed from twitter or facebook and might be intrigued as to what First-Voter Friday is. My partner Brian and I are semi-finalists in the Ultimate Thailand Explorers Competition. You can learn more about our journey by clicking the Thailand Link above, or clicking here.
If you’ve been a longtime reader of this site, you may be aware that I’m currently in South Africa for 3 weeks on business. It’s been a busy schedule so far. I’ve been conducting focus groups and evaluating service at local tourist experiences. It sounds exciting, and no doubt it is, but sometimes it’s a bit of a downer when those you care about, aren’t able to experience these moments I’ve been having.
This past weekend. I was at a game reserve and had an unforgettable Lion Encounter. Learn what happened in this YouTube video.
It’s been an incredible journey so far. We’ve amassed hundreds of votes from individuals from around the globe. Your belief in our ability to bring you to Pattaya is so fantastic. It got Brian and I thinking, why are you voting for us? What’s your reason?

Brian and I recently went to a local Thai restaurant here in Orlando, Sea Thai to celebrate our entry into the Ultimate Thailand Explorers Competition. Brian has had Thai food before, but this was my first Thai, culinary experience – and while I didn’t know what to expect, I was pleasantly surprised. Sea Thai is about a 10 minute drive from our house. From the shopping plaza outside you wouldn’t be able to tell what a gem it is inside.
Brian and I wanted to first start off by saying Thank You for all of your votes and continued votes as we enter week 2 of the Ultimate Thailand Explorers Contest. Through your efforts and support we continue to maintain a great pace, but it’s not over yet. There are 17 days left and anything can happen.
In an earlier post I shared our purpose in entering the competition: to inspire you to travel by showing that with some hard work your dreams can come true. Today’s youtube video shows some of the hardwork it took to make our social media content with some outtakes.
Doing Yard Work is boring. Why not vote to send us to Pattaya, Thailand instead? That’s what my dad suggests at least. See for yourself in this YouTube video that he filmed.

ORLANDO RESIDENTS SEMI-FINALISTS IN WORLDWIDE TRAVEL COMPETITION TO THAILAND
When Brian and I went to the Epcot Food & Wine Festival in search of the new Thai Booth we found these puppets in the China Pavilion who were hanging around. We convinced them to film this endorsement video.
It took some convincing to get the puppets to agree to the shoot. But we hope that it’s not as hard to convince you to vote for us each and every day. There are only 22 days left. Every vote counts and the more votes we have earlier in the competition, the stronger we’ll be in the end.
Brian and I had high hopes that we would advance to the Semi-Finals in the Ultimate Thailand Explorers Competition. It’s aways been about bringing you along with us on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We hope to inspire you to believe in your dreams, work had to achieve them and watch them come true.
There are only 23 days left to vote in the competition. We are truly excited at the amount of support we have received so far. Please continue voting as often as you can. Share our adventure with your friends on facebook. Simply copy the message below and paste it to your Facebook Status Update.
