I think we can all agree I have neglected the blog. Well whatever, life happens. I'll be leaving Taiwan in a few weeks and doing some traveling before I head to California and eventually to Washington. I'm booking tickets in and out of Thailand and doing the rest from there giving myself about 4 or 5 weeks to travel around with out a totally set agenda. It's very exciting, freeing, and nerve-wracking to have a time in my life, where I have no time limit to be back, no end to the vacation time. Too much freedom and too many choices. I might never come back. I will be off to Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand. Yes, I'm striking out on my own, and yes, I have checked that I will be safe.
Plans include:
Phnom Penh, Cambodia to see the Killing Fields and Museum
Boat up to Siem Reap to see Angkor Wat (Fulfilling a nine year old's dream. Okay, so I was a weird nine year old.)
Luang Prabang, Laos
Busing through Laos down to the capital, Vientiane
Walking across the bridge into Thailand
Overnight train to Bangkok
A few days of exploring Bangkok
A few days in the northern Thailand in Chiang Mai
Relaxing on Ko Phi Phi and any other beach I can find in Southern Thailand.
Sound good? I think so. Any bets on the number of pictures I will take. Conservative estimates would be in the thousands.
I'll come back to Taiwan, then off to California, filled with cool stories to tell everyone and a few more stamps in my passport.
