Countdown

Welcome to my first blog attempt! I thought this would be a good way to keep people updated on my upcoming adventures in Asia.

I have two and a half weeks to go until the departure. The past couple of weeks have been filled with visas, vaccinations, and buying things for the trip. Well, buying and then returning! How many sport sandals and rain jackets did I need to test drive? But most of the details are done so I'll be able enjoy the last few weeks of summer (with actual sun and heat for a change.)

Below is the planned itinerary, though I usually find the unexpected events make the best memories. There are links as well, though not sure if they will take you right there or if you have to cut and paste into your browser (Mom, I'll translate that for you!) :)
