Wow!
I can't believe that I am going to be on a flight to Bangkok (17 hours no less) four days from now. I have been so busy tying up loose ends, and believe me there is TONS of stuff to take care of, that I haven't really been able to put the whole trip in perspective. I mean three months months on my own (with the exception of a ten day visit by Mel of course) in Southeast Asia will certainly be an eye opening experience for me. Even though I have done a lot of research I still feel like I have no idea what things will be like, as far as the sights and sounds and the cultural differences, but in reality that is what I am looking forward to the most, just being in a part of the world that is completely foreign to me, and just taking it all in. Either way I am sure it is going to be quite an adventure.


And oh yeah, if you plan on reading this blog on a regularly basis you are going to have to get used to some reeeaaaaaaaaaally long sentences, and some "creative" grammar ;)

Good Luck!
There are dreamers and do-ers in the world and you my friend are a do-er. Most people just dream of doing it and most just talk of doing it and you are doing it!! Greatest respect to you!

The Adventurer Reborn
I suppose none of us could ever expect that someone capable of stepping out into the world with such cofidence, and taking on all of Europe, would not find his wanderlust again in time.

If life is simply a collection of our experiences, then you my friend, are surely living life to it's fullest.

Ramble on.

Finally got back on here (thanks to jocelyn). Looks like I've got a lot to catch up on.
Thanks for helping us overworked people pretend that maybe we are elsewhere.
I'm very jealous and hope that my time is soon.
Thanks for all the info and the pictures! Can't wait to hear more. Stay Safe!

Amsterdam
Hey Dan,

Sounds like an exciting trip, and you're almost done now. I'll be in Amsterdam 8 days from today. Hopefully I make it back alive and then we'll hang out during Reunion weekend.
