Did we forget anything? Our flight leaves in three hours. Tokyo then Bangkok then who knows where. A little over four weeks in possibly four countries—Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia. We didn't make one reservation. In fact, we didn't order our guidebooks until last week. But we're ready. We need this trip...to rejuvenate, invigorate and rediscover our creativity and passion. It's not just a vacation; it's an adventure into what could possibly be our very own Heart of Darkness.

A trip through the Heart of Darkness. Not over dramatic. Look out for Black Bart at the RR crossing.

Take the monorail subway thing in Bangkok. It's totally fun and fast. Eat some pad thai for me!
