Quick Goodbye

Bangkok, Thailand      Wednesday September 21 7:15pm

I'm just about to leave Thailand and head over to Laos. Penne and I took the ferry/bus up to Bangkok and in a rush of 16 hours bought out the place! A girl could do some serious damage to her bank account here.

It's been a little over 3 months into my trip and I feel like I've reached a milestone. Sounds a bit funny but since i'm travelling for 9 months its like i've gotten through my first trimester. You know, the usual sickness and stomach pains have passed (hopefully for good), i've gotten used to the swollen heat - from the heat, humidity, and of course my 30 or so pound backpack. Travelling via tuk-tuks and motorbikes, living with lizards and cockroaches, i've got it down. I'm now about to enter my Second Trimester in the Golden Triangle of Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam where the pace is about 1/10 that of Bali, KL or Bangkok.... and it couldn't be sooner.
