Tonight's the night!

Here is our general itinerary, as I know it:

-Starting in Bangkok, for a few days, to sleep off jet lag and get acquainted.

-Then traveling up to Chiang Mai/Rai;

-Traveling down the Mekong River to Laos via boat, making stops in small villages along the way;

-Spend some time in Cambodia in Angkor Wat;

-Railay beach and Krabby, which both share the same coast as Ko Phi Phi (where Leo DiCaprio's movie The Beach was filmed);

-Back up to Bangkok, to end the trip before we fly back to LAX.

Sounds like a month's worth, but I know it will fly by! We're going to be near Phuket, where a dear family friend of ours was in 2004 when the Tsunami hit the coast (I use the term family friend so to speak, because the term doesn't quite translate the close relationship he and his family has to ours). It will be nice that we will be able to pay our respects. We will also be working with the Green Gecko Project for a couple days in Cambodia, and organization I am really looking forward to being a part of.

AND, just in case I decide to stay a little longer for any reason (heh heh), I am bringing only my trusty backpack... the very same one I used when traveling Europe, oh so long ago:




See you on the other side! xo
