Well, here it goes! As a first time blogger I will just take that baby step and see what happens. It was suggested to me to keep a journal of our first big trip and publish it as a blog so that friends and family can see how our travels to Thailand are going. Hopefully they will enjoy the news and pictures as we wander around the country experiencing the sights, sounds and tastes of this exotic place. We have been planning and preparing for this for what seems like an eternity. Basically, our (almost) full time occupation for the last several months has been reading the Lonely Planet guides, searching the internet, and grilling seasoned travellers for advice. We are on the count down now. 3 more days til lift off!
Let's see....immunizations/innoculations and prevenative meds and first aide stuff--check. Household stuff (the dog, the houseplants, water pipes, furnace and snow removal) all arranged--check. Mail and banking all arranged--check. Obtaining the right backpacks and luggage--check. Getting it all together and packed...well, not quite, but close!
Being gone for 6 weeks is a fairly long time but we wanted the flexibility to stay in one place longer if we were just having too much fun. Being under pressure to keep moving is not how we wanted to do this. There's a lot to see and do out there and it takes a bit of time to experience it fully!
So...off we go!
