Well I just crossed over my halfway point as I`ve been out traveling for 6 months! Can`t believe how fast it`s already gone, even though my cash has gone even faster than I expected. I`ve been so blessed to have so many friends meet me along the way and just wanted to reflect on all […]
Snafu #2 – China Visa, RTW Ticket and where to next? (2008)
I guess when airlines are involved and flights get canceled or my round the world ticket (RTW) is about to become void (if I miss a flight), that makes for a pretty big snafu. This one counts as Snafu #2 (first one was back in May with Norway flights). Well this snafu was about to happen and […]
Vietnam – HCMC, Nha Trang, Hanoi (October/November 2008)
Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) was the first stop in Vietnam. To many of the locals, this city is still called Saigon. I can`t say why, but I really liked HCMC. Vanessa and I started off with another crazy taxi experience. I should be used to it by now, but I`m not. I knew it should […]

Cambodia Part 2 – Siam Reap and Angkor Wat (October 2008)
Siam Reap was next and after a quick flight north, we were in such a cute little town. Now I saw cute as it was very inviting for us to walk around and from place to place. At night, the police block off the streets from all bikes and tuk tuks, so no worries about […]
Cambodia Part 1 – Phnom Penh (October 2008)
October 18-19, 2008 As Vanessa and I took a taxi to the Bangkok airport in route to Cambodia, but we never knew what sort of ride we were in for. The normal ride takes 45 minutes. The driver we had, must have been practicing to win the Indy 500 race as he was honestly driving 140 kph (and posted limit […]
Thailand (October 2008)
October 6-18, 2008 After spending 2 weeks in Thailand back in 2002, I didn`t know when I would be back, but knew I would someday. I was lucky to be able to travel there with Debbie and Vanessa, and we originally planned to meet there the whole time. When some issues came up, I decided […]

Nepal – Loved it!
Arriving in Nepal was a draining experience as we had to deal with getting a Visa upon arrival and it was such a slow process and we were at the middle of the line. After a painful hour plus, we made it through and had a ride waiting for us. What we didn`t know was […]
India Part 2: Golden Triangle (Delhi, Jaipur and Agra) (2008)
As I`m out traveling with Debbie, this will be short now, but more details will come later. Delhi`s Golden Triangle was the main reason I came to India. Honestly…I wanted to see the Taj Mahal and then learned of other things we should see while we are here. Debbie and I decided to do a private […]
