D - 6 days

So i'm getting super excited....can't wait. Still stressing about the to-do list but when i review the list there really it's a whole lot i need to do.

Tested my backpacks yesterday to decide if i had enough room to carry all my stuff and which one to take the blue one or the black one, i've decided to take the black melaluca bag and get a new bigger one in Bangkok.





I have some more research to do. As i'm in Seoul for 9 hour layover i figure maybe i should leave the airport and sight-see. So far haven't found any info, but my researching was a bit sketchy as i was internet surfing also and decided to print out the map to the Incheon Int'l Airport.

Oh is that rain i hear outside i might be testing my rainjackets tonight

Asia, here I come

D-16 days, so starts the countdown to my flight to Bangkok. I am going to be visiting my brother Dean in Asia. I am going for a full month. Dean, Rachel and I will be travelling together to explore Thailand, Cambodia and Indonesia.

I will be arriving in Bangkok on September 24 at 11:00pm, Dean and Rachel will be meeting me at the airport. Dean wants to see my face when I first see Bangkok and experience the intense, sweaty heat. We will be shopping for some essentials and visit with Rob and his girlfriend. Rob is Dean's friend, they met 24 years ago as they went to school together, played hockey together, etc. I babysat Rob and his brothers and sisters a couple times. My mom worked for Rob's Lawyer dad (he's now a Judge), for 11 years in Prince Albert. So we generally knew the family really well back in our PA days. Rob has been living in Asia for about 3 or 4 years now. He recently bought a place and Dean tells me he is teaching English in Bangkok. I know he has some stories and probably knows the places we should visit while we stay in Bangkok. I think the plan is to stay in Bangkok for 3-4 days, Rachel and Dean are starting the itinerary with timeframe so they can start booking flights.

I know in our stay we will be going to the famous backpackers haven of Th Khao San Road for some food and beer and maybe a place to lay our head.

 

This starts the blogging experience, I will continue to update this blog every 2 or 3 days till I leave. If I get internet access I will update on this blog or fb. I will be keeping a paper journal so I remember all the names, places and things we do and so I can update everyone on the journey.

Hi

So i still haven't become an avid blogger yet. I am running my first 10K tomorrow morning. I'm excited and wondering when i'm going to fall asleep. The race starts at 7:00 that's just too early to get up, changed, eat, drive to starting site, & warmup. Oh well guess i'll be napping tomorrow after the race.

Wish me luck
