Mark and I have finally purchased plane tickets to go to SE Asia. We've been talking about this trip for a long time and I'm so excited to finally be going. I'm going to try out this blogging thing for the first time while traveling and you are welcome to join in! I'm looking forward to using the map features of this RealTravel thing (Rosa's friend works here!).
