Through a series of events which I could not have predicted even a month ago, I am apparently starting a 3 month Southeast Asia excursion on January 9th... WOO HOO!!
My current flight outline is: Newark - Dubai - Bangkok - Delhi - Newark
Basic Itinierary:
Jan 9 to Jan 17 - Dubai, UAE
Jan 17 fly into Bangkok, Thailand, go overland to Cambodia
Jan 18 to Feb 3 (?) Stay in Siem Reap Cambodia and work on Engineers without Borders agriculture assessment
Feb 3 to Feb 8 Return to Bangkok for some beach experience!
Feb 8 to Mar 30 Tour India with Ana & Jesse
Mar 30 - April 10 - Nepal Trek??
April 10 to 15 - Finish up northern India
My intense desire to travel is not the main motivation for this trip, since in truth the trip came to me. My current work situation, my desire to understand myself, the freedom I have, people who will be traveling at the same time, it all lead to this decision so of course it must be the right thing to do!! I find it increasingly more difficult to make changes as I get older, but life is calling... I must answer...
Leaving the people I love is painfully difficult for me since recently, more than ever, I have learned the incredible gift of a supportive family and friends, but I must remember that 3 months passes like a strong wind...
I hope that I will do some good on this trip and will try to be diligent about this blog so I can share it with whoever is so inclined to notice...
Till later...

CONGRATS LINDA...I"M SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!! but you better not be in Asia for 3 months and not come visit. Please if you have any time, come by Korea. I'm in the southern eastern tip of Korea, the city is called Ulsan. There's an airport in Ulsan and in Busan (which is 1 hr from me)...soooo u better look up some tickets to visit!!! again Congrats and trust me the first part is hard, emotional, and exhausting and then the rest is AMAZING! u'll love the experience. 3 months is nothing, i've already been in Korea for 4 months and the time just FLEW! good luck!! love ya!!

ReplyDeleteI hope you're having fun. Write and tell us what you're doing. Im so excited to hear your stories. I thought I sent you a message like two weeks ago, but I didn't see it so Im not sure if you got it. I don't think i signed-up correctly so I had jackie help me. My family says hi, and jackie just got back from Bosnia last night after staying 4 extra days unexpected. She wants to say hi....
