And We're Off!

I have a ticket leaving Bangkok at 8:30 a.m. tomorrow morning and still need to re-pack my bag, so this post will be brief.  Gordy and I are going to cross the border into Cambodia tomorrow via the crossing point at Aranya Prathet/Poipet on our way to Angkor Wat.  We plan on staying in Siem Reap for the next week or so, hopefully renting bicycles to better enjoy the massive temple complex.

Bangkok has been a great jumping off point for this trip, but I look forward to getting away from the persistant Tuk-Tuk drivers, Handmade Suit Tailors and constant odor of the black death known as Fish Sauce.  I realize that I've been in vacation mode here, and now is the time to begin to live in traveling mode.

Talk with you soon from Cambodia.

The average American walks 5,210 steps in her day: 1,901,650 a year. How many of my less then two millions steps this year retraced the same path that I created last year? The next few months I have set aside to make footprints in areas never touched by my toes. It is time to take my small dotted line around the map of the world, far outside it’s comfort zone, and gain some blisters along the way.
