The Journey
In and around World
Hello, hello.
Well, for those reading this who don't somewhat know me and Dan's plan of attack on our journey I shall enlighten you. Theoretically, we will be arriving in Bangkok, Thailand on December 31st. We're going to travel North and then into Laos, South through Loas and into Cambodia, through Cambodia into the South of Vietnam, North through Vietnam, and then bootin' it back into Thailand for some beach bummin' in the South. All of this leg work is set to be just over 2 months. Should be really interesting and amazing, we hope!
