It is 2:50 am and Meg and I are in my brothers place in Boston. We are leaving for the airport in about two hours. Our flight leaves Boston at 6:50 am and heads to Los Angeles. We depart Los Angeles at 10:00 am pacifc. 14 hours and 40 minutes later we land in Hong Kong. 3 Hours in Hong Kong then on to Bangkok. We land at Bangkok’s new airport which has been open for about a month. We get in at 11:50 pm on Wednesday oct. 4. We will be traveling for 30 hours straight. This will be an adventur unlike anything I have done before. For 3 months Meg and I will travel through Thailand , Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam, before heading to Australia. We have been prepareing for months, we are tired, excited, wonderous, scared, sad, happy, and hopeful. I don’t think we really know what to expect in the days, weeks, and months ahead. I hope everyone is checks in on us from time to time. Please email us when you can. We will miss all of you.

FYI our first night in bangkok will be at a liitle place near Khoasan Road. Its called The Thai Cozy House, I think they have internet in the lobby and that will be the place from which we will post again.

My grandpa always said one of two things, and they come to mind now:

“May the road rise to meet you, may the wind always be at your backs, the sun shine warm upon your face, and the rain fall soft upon your feilds. Until we meet again…. ”

and

“If you can’t be good, be careful.”

The next time you hear from us we will be on the road.
