Man, I can’t believe I’m almost ready for this trip. Well, maybe not mentally ready, but at least the physical preparations are almost done. Although I’ve done some Business travel fairly recently, I’ve not done this type of long term traveling since the late 70’s when I toured around Europe for 9 months. Do you think backpack type traveling has changed a tad bit since then? I guess we’ll see.
The pre-trip preparations for 4 months in SE Asia has been a bit overwhelming at times….. what to take, how to pack, health concerns, first aid kit, immunizations, insurance, tickets, visas, money management, travel security, traveling alone, booking flights and hotels, guidebooks, maps, itineraries, travel photography, blogging (what the hell is that?), and lots of decisions to make. It will be a relief to finally board the plane and just get this epic underway.
Being your basic procrastinator, it’s amazing I get anything done at all really. Have you ever noticed that the more time you have the longer it takes to get anything done.
On Jan. 13, I fly to Chiang Mai, Thailand, via Vancouver, Hong Kong, with an overnight in Bangkok. I haven't checked how many hours of flying yet, but it's probably more than a couple.
