A New Year, A New Trip

Tomorrow I head out to Southeast Asia and 2 weeks of traveling near the water and National Parks. The first stop will be Singapore, where we will spend a couple days among the smallest country in the world. From there we fly to Phuket and days on the beach while island hopping.

After Phuket we spend a couple days in Chiang Mai and around the trees and trails. After Chaing Mai we head to Hanoi and Ha Long Bay where we can swim and enjoy the abolsute wonders of the bay.

This is a trip that my friends and I have been talking about for a couple years and had intended to take last year, however we postponed a year. Now we have had a big build up and enough time to get really excited for all the beauty that Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam have to offer.

First, we have to survive our direct flight to Singapore which means 16 plus hours on a plane. For me that is easily the least desirable part of the trip, or any trip. I am tall, 6'7 and anytime I'm stuck with my knees jammed up into a seat back I'm not having fun. The one benefit of this is that the second I get off a plane, I feel sweet relief.

Let the trip begin!
