15 hours til take off

Well this my first blog. I'm not much of a blog person, but I thought that this would be an easy to keep everyone posted on my travels and post pictures. I don't want this blog to become a distraction so I may not update it much. But I thought I'd atleast start one and see what happens. and I'm not going to spellcheck or proof read so get over it...

I'm leaving tomorrow morning at 12:10 from Des Moines. I land in Bangkok at 12:30 AM. I have a flight to Chiang Mai at 7 AM. My itinerary from there is as follows (Although it is pretty tentative)

  • Northern Thailand
  • Laos
  • Vietnam
  • Cambodia
  • Bali
  • Southern Thailand
  • Nepal
  • India

Davy-boy Man! I didn't get your phone message or email until this morning. I hadn't realized you were leaving today -- I'm bummed that I missed getting to say bon voyage over the phone. But let's keep in touch as much as we can while you're away. You're going to have such a great time! And this blog was a fantastic idea.

Love you!
Jennie
