Plans

I'm flying into Bangkok late on February 11th (arrive 11:45pm). I'm probably gonna stay there for a few days, getting de-jetlagged and enjoying the insanity that is Bangkok. Then I'm gonna go down and meet a friend of mine from high school somewhere. Possibly Ko Tao. If you're reading this from the states anywhere right now, I think you can appreciate that all I want to do in the short term is swim in warm waters and lay on a beach somewhere for a while. Everything else comes later. So I'll be traveling with my friend and her husband for a while, who knows how long. I only get 30 days in Thailand, then I have to move on. I'm pretty much just planning to float around between countries (Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Burma, Malaysia, Indonesia, etc.) avoiding visa restrictions. I have no idea where I'll go or what I'll do, but I figure I'll run into lots of people who have been lots of places and have lots of suggestions for what to do. My friend from college may come and join me at some point if he manages to get himself fired or quits. Then I'm thinking I'll go towards europe in the summertime. Some of my friends are gonna be there and I have this dream of camping out at various festivals and events. 2 weeks at Wimbledon camping out. Some music festivals. Just spend a couple months like this. This is a dream I've had for a while. Then I'm gonna come home I guess.

Lying in a hammock in my cousins dorm room in north carolina, I've decided I need to start work on a new blog to set up for my upcoming trip. It's not Gonna be a big deal, I'm not gonna try to make it thorough or amusing.
Most travel blogs suck. It's just going to be a vehicle by which you can vaguely keep up with where I am and what I'm doing and a place for
me to tell any interesting stories if they happen. That way it prevents me from telling the same story a dozen times and then
forgetting who I've told it to. This way I just write it and assume >everyone in the world has read it and I can't tell it any more.
Prevents me from having interesting stories instead of just being interesting. Although I'm currently neither so I don't know why I'm
worrying about it.
I guess the main reason is so I won't gave to give the same answers to
the same questions over and over again.
Just once, consigliere.
