The Here and Now

Holy Ninjas, Bat Man!

For the past few months I have dropped here and there hints about an upcoming trip. A trip to a distant far away land.
To south-east Asia.

For the past few months I have planned and mapped and daydreamed about pointy hats and elephants. I thought about the shiny things. Pretty color coded geopolitical maps filled my mind.

Now it is official. Moments ago I bought my plane tickets.
The tickets that will whisk me away from the cold and arctic to the tropical and rainforest-y.

The trip will involve landing in Bangkok, Thailand and backpacking my way on a counter-clockwise circle through Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, and Northern Thailand.
I will be there for a hair over one month. The end of May to the end of June.

I keep looking at my itinerary. As if it is not yet really real.
But it is! It really is!

Dude, I’m going to bloody Asia!
