sending love and welcome home Jmoney-
I really enjoyed your blogs and would be right there with you if I didnt have a 2 and 4 year old. Thanks for sharing an awesome, inspiring journey. My man and I are going to travel abroad with the kids for 2 months- my plan had been Laos and i had been wanting to go there for years but was ousted by our pediatrician for higher risks. So, africa it is.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Love Panz-y
Awesome! Thanks for the great read Justin. I too stayed on Khoa San Road in BKK and I loved Patong. We stayed at the Patong Beach bungalows 6 weeks before the Tsunami in 2004, I think our bungalows are gone. We went to a fun bar called Banana in Patong. I love Thailand so much and I really wish I could've met you there. Enjoy the rest of your trip and Tokyo!
Nice Nepal photos and trek info! Hi Justin - looks like you had a great trek and have been to a number of places I've been to. Nepal is ****ing awesome. Somehow your blog ended up in my email box - you met my sister Elizabeth and Ingrid in Nepal. I've traveled with both of them to a number of countries. Anyhow, if you get some time, check out my travel site, Dave's Travel Corner - http://www.davestravelcorner.com

Amazing Justin - loved this story about your trek and am happy to know that you made it back down safely! Keep the stories rolling in for those of us who spend 8-10 hours a day under artificial lights and in cubicles! Take Care, Julie.
How they moved them... The salvage of the Abu Simbel temples began in 1964 by a multinational team of archeologists, engineers and skilled heavy equipment operators working together under the UNESCO banner; it cost some $40 million at the time. Between 1964 and 1968, the entire site was carefully cut into large blocks (up to 30 tons, averaging 20 tons), dismantled, lifted and reassembled in a new location 65 meters higher and 200 meters back from the river, in one of the greatest challenges of archaeological engineering in history. Some structures were even saved from under the waters of Lake Nasser. Today, thousands of tourists visit the temples daily. Guarded convoys of buses and cars depart twice a day from Aswan, the nearest city. Many visitors also arrive by plane, at an airfield that was specially constructed for the temple complex.
I would like to make comments on your post. I am glad that you seem to have had enjoyed your visit to Ethiopia but I don't appreciate your indifferent to local religious tradition, i.e. you sneaking to take a look the replace of the Arc of the Covenant. I urge you to delete the pictures you took right away, you don't understand the significant of it. Secondly, describing the time difference between Ethiopia and Europe, you refer to European time the "real" one. Really? what make that a real and the Ethiopian one "unreal." There is no real or unreal about it, it is just different it work for all.

fabulous blog!! Justin,
Great to know that you are enjoying your stay in Ethiopia and hopefully the other parts of the country will be wonderful too.Thanks for your kind words and enjoy your stay!
I've got to be honest.... I expected you to look a little like Tom Hanks' character on Cast Away after he'd been stuck on that island for like 7 years by this point. But nope, you still look like the same Justin. Love the pics and updates. Keep em coming!
I had originally planned on traveling to Africa for six months with my cousin. A few months into the trip, I realized that six months would not be long enough, and I would not be ready to go home. It was then that I decided to keep on going East, until I eventually find myself back in the states.
