It's hard to sum up a trip like this, to encapsulate an experience... Post-Trip Thoughts Amy 2005-08-09T09:37:44-08:00 http://blogs.BootsnAll.com/amy/archives/013799.shtml At some point while I was in Laos or Thailand I probably mentioned Trevor, an American guy I first met in Hanoi and kept running into throughout Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand. He kept a travelblog, too, and his entries are... Miscellaneous Amy 2005-07-13T11:18:36-08:00 http://blogs.BootsnAll.com/amy/archives/013485.shtml On Sunday, I'm flying to Los Angeles--it's hard to believe it's finally time! I'm enjoying the remaining time with family in NJ, but unfortunately there won't be a trip out to the Minnesota reunion this week as originally planned. It's... Post-Trip Thoughts Amy 2005-06-28T15:57:10-08:00 http://blogs.BootsnAll.com/amy/archives/013260.shtml I've finally organized the first half of my England pictures. Ironically, it's almost more difficult to upload pictures here in the States than it was abroad. The rest will be online sometime soon, hopefully within the next month!...

My time at home's been good, but difficult... Post-Trip Thoughts Amy 2005-06-13T10:28:29-08:00 http://blogs.BootsnAll.com/amy/archives/012785.shtml Just a quickie to assure you all I made it home safely. I actually felt a little apprehensive getting off the plane, worried about the same things as when I have arrived in any foreign land--do I have any local... Post-Trip Thoughts Amy 2005-05-28T08:32:59-08:00 http://blogs.BootsnAll.com/amy/archives/012704.shtml England is great, by the way. I'm having a great time exploring London and environs, and finding places I've always heard about around every corner. Enjoying the history and culture, and meeting up with travel friends from far and wide.... England Amy 2005-05-25T16:04:39-08:00 http://blogs.BootsnAll.com/amy/archives/011885.shtml The last of the Thailand photos are up--the rest of Chiang Mai, plus Bangkok and the beach. The new ones start on page 9....

Here it is my last night in Bangkok, in Thailand, in Southeast Asia! After three months in the region, it feels pretty weird to... Thailand Amy 2005-05-17T07:16:01-08:00 http://blogs.BootsnAll.com/amy/archives/011708.shtml Most of the photos from Chiang Mai are up here. Sorry, the rest'll have to wait, probably until I get home!...

Shit, that is insanely soon! I have less than a week left in Thailand, then I'll have about 9...

I've managed to find some quality stuff, thankfully.... Miscellaneous Amy 2005-04-24T06:06:13-08:00 http://blogs.BootsnAll.com/amy/archives/010911.shtml I'd heard a lot about Vang Vieng--how touristy it is, totally catering to backpackers, with practically every building a guesthouse, restaurant, or internet cafe, and many places with TVs blaring a Hollywood blockbuster or episode after episode of Friends--someone on...

It was kind of an accident that I got here at the right time, and... Lao Amy 2005-04-16T07:32:58-08:00
