Our Little adventure

In and around Basingstoke, United Kingdom

Hey everybody,

this trip really started over a year ago, after me and Stace had a stupid argument which ended in us agreeing to go traveling, aren't arguments fun! After months trying to come up with a route which we could both agree on, we have finally settled on this one.

Our journey begins on Friday 24th October 2008 at Heathrow Airport; from which we'll fly to Bahrain for a stop over. Then its on to India for a month; followed by Singapore for a few days, then onto Malaysia, Thailand for a month; then Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos for 6 weeks!

This blog will allow all you guys back at home to be able to see and read about our adventures as often as possible, and for you to be able to contact us, and us to contact you!

Anyway, I'm sure this is the first of many blogs over the next 4 months!!!

Enjoy! Enjoy! Enjoy! Have a great time kids. Remember to pack your Ipod so you can block out the pig grunts when you’re on the loo! Love Dad xxx P.S. I’m assuming you picked the picture for your blog as a caption competition. My effort: There’s contrasting reactions as Stacy & Jonny watch their 1st “ XXX Show “ in a Bangkok Bar.
