Off To Thailand, And Diane Keaton

Well, I leave for LAX Airport in about 15 minutes for my year long vagabonding trip to Southeast Asia, and I’m finally starting my blog now. My whole preparation for this trip has been last minute.

I’m currently at my cousin Mary’s beautiful home in Irvine, California. I’m visiting her and her husband Marty as my first leg of the trip, and I want to thank them for all their extreme hospitality.

Mary had some work for me to do at her office to make some extra money for my trip (hope the IRS doesn’t read this). Yesterday an SUV parked in front of the office, and out popped Diane Keaton. How cool is that? She’s a lot smaller than I imagined. Not that I imagine the length of Diane Keaton often.

I also want to thank Laura and AnnMarie for all they have done and will do for me during this trip.

My plane leaves LAX at 1:00am. I will land in Bangkok at 11:05am on Oct 18. June will meet me at the airport, then a few hours later we will be on a sleeper train to Lampang, about 9 hours from Bangkok. The next day is June’s birthday. Everyone wish June a happy birthday.

Well, I better get out of here if I want to make the shuttle to the airport.

If anyone is reading this, please comment, I want to know you are there.

Gotta go.

Mark

    Hi Mark,

    I am Marty’s father and he has been telling me about your great adventure to Asia so I have bookmarked your Blog. I think that it takes a lot of courage travel the way that you are traveling. Maybe you can write a book upon your return to the USA. If not a book maybe travel articles that are printed in the Travel section of the Sunday papers.

    Good luck,

    Len W.
