good day all We have been back in bangkok now for......a few days i suppose. Got here thursday evening. I like this city. Its fast. its dirty. great for people watching. We are staying at the same hostel as my first entry. The Green House Inn. Its right behind Khao San Rd. Which again is the backpackers mecka. you see people from all walks of life here. That is FO SURE!!!!This time we were able to share the twin room that has 2 twin rooms. saves us abt 30 baht a night. so like a US dollar a day. lol hey! every little bit helps. Were heading out to Krabi tomorrow afternoon. We were warned by several backpackers not to waste time or money on phuket. As it is mostly geared for the resorter and VERY ... read more

Asia » Cambodia » North » Siem Reap April 22nd 2008

Well all...here our journey now begins in a small country known as cambodia. That almost makes it sound like the beginning of a fairy tale...not quite. My previous blog described landing at the airport, this will pick up off from there. At this time we has a quasi reservation for our hotel, The Villa Siem Reap. We had emailed them a room which they emailed back wasnt available so we emailed back what we then wanted (due to this we went from staying 3 night to just 2 nights (thank you god!) lol) Our plan was to call The Villa once we arrived at the airport to pick us up (it was actually our intention to do at Bangkok's airport but if you read prior blog you know that didnt happen) since that is included in ... read more

Good day all, Today is the day our real journey begins. Its the official start of our travels. The mornings sure do come early here. I awoke before 7am? whats up with that? lol Nate was still sleeping on his little mat on the floor in the changing/bed room (it could be a small bedroom but my bed is out in the living room since i have no couch or chair-just table and chairs and tv on stand-ill move it later in the room when i buy a couch) anyways. so we get moving and head yet again to dunkin d's for some breakfast. i had an egg n cheese bagel (with pickles) i didnt ask for those, they were on it when i got it, but in all honesty they were really good on there. ... read more

Asia » South Korea » Daegu April 19th 2008

Well All, We officially made it to South Korea!! It was a 2 hr ride or so from Detroit to Atlanta. Then I met up with Nate in ATL Airport for the next leg of our flight. We ate a quick lunch at Chilis and then hauled ass to the gate and damn near missed our flight.(were trying to rectify an issue with return flight ticket...another long story ill keep to myself for the moment)We boarded on our Delta 777-aka big ass plane. From there it was a 14-15 hr plane ride. I took a Tylenol PM thinking it would knock me out. For nate it did, but me? No! So i watched about 5 movies lol. Some really good movies actually. Enchanted, Bee Movie, Juno, and i cant remember off hand the others. We got ... read more

North America » United States » Florida » Tampa February 20th 2008

Well, im sure no one is reading this now but i figured it would be interesting to write about my trip before i actually leave. So, its official. Im going to be teaching in South Korea. I am pretty psched and a little nervous. I cant wait to do some traveling and to get so pages on my passport stamped. Now the 18hr plane ride has me a little freaked out but ive been assured they try to keep us entertained so we will see how that goes. I will begin going through all my crap and boy do i own a lot of stuff. such a collector of STUFF. I have to decide on a storage unit for the stuff i just cant throw out. Then i get to look forward to an 18hr drive ... read more
