January 29, 2005Chiang Dao Nest: Day 2I must apologize if my grammar was bad or my writing was aweful. I was having a combination of too many Beer Chang's, jet lag and total exhaustion. Also, the keyboard on this computer has Thai symbols - but all...Read this update January 28, 2005From Tokyo to Chiang Dao NestThe plane ride from Tokyo to Bangkok was literally painful. It's not that my fears of flying got the best of me. As I described before, modern medicine has helped quell my nervous tension. Instead, our American Airlines "code share"...Read this update January 27, 2005Layover In JapanI am sitting in a free internet cafe in the Tokyo/Nagarita Airport waiting for our next flight to Bangkok. I am trying to get used to the time change. We left this morning at 8am and arrived in Tokyo at 1：27pm。In Austin...Read this update January 26, 2005On Our WayWe leave early tomorrow morning. Our plane departs Austin at 8am. We will change planes in Dallas and fly just over 13 hours to Tokyo. In Tokyo we change planes again and spend another 7 hours flying to Bangkok.

Category: January 20, 2005A Packing List, More or LessIt's been days since I've had time to visit this blog. The llast few days saw an endless stream of chores and last minute worries. With 6 days to go, we are psyching ourselves up for an amazing leap into...Read this update January 14, 2005No Looking BackWe have reached the point of no return. We are wrapping up the final details of our pre-travel arrangements. Travel insurance. Renter's insurance. Dumping clothes and belongings at Goodwill. Finding a place in our house for all of our plants...Read this update January 11, 2005Preparations and Post-Tsunami researchI've had little to report over the last few days. I've spent my time converting my massive CD collection into MP3's, which is a long drawn out process. Our new mp3 player and digital camera came in the mail at...Read this update January 07, 2005Home in HibernationPre-travel planning isn't easy. Some frequent flyers have it down to a science, I'm sure. But an extended departure is tough no matter how you slice or dice it. The bulk of my travelling has come by way of a...Read this update January 05, 2005Outfitting and packing...Getting ready for a trip like this seems like a full-time job. Thankfully I'm in "house husband" mode right now, so I have enough time to make reservations, research gear, shop for clothes, pick up our medications, and fulfill a...Read this update January 04, 2005Why are you "stumbling"?I had someone ask me why the name of this blog uses the word "stumbling". The easiest answer is that it refers to the way I walk. Although I'm agile and pretty quick on my feet when it's necessary, I...Read this update Bringing you up to date...By now most of you have heard the tragic news about the tsunami in Southeast Asia. Originally we were a bit discouraged and sad that Thailand was so heavily affected. Our family and friends all asked the same question, "Are...Read this update BioMy wife and I are leaving Austin, TX in late January and heading to Thailand for five weeks of backpacking, adventure and fun. We have travelled extensively to various parts of the world, but this is the longest trip we've...Read this update |
