Well, I'm almost ready to go. I'm basically all packed - everything's in ziplock bags that just need to be thrown into my backpack. The only debatable item at this point is the tiny sleeping bag/sack that I bought last week at REI.
The more difficult part is planning where I'm going to go...I wasn't really going to do that, but since 4 weeks is so short, I'm realizing that it's kind of necessary. There are certain boat trips I may want to do that only leave on particular days of the week and since I'm visiting people in a couple of locations, it helps to have dates to give them.
I think I need to change the name of my blog to 3 countries in 4 weeks because I've pretty much decided to cut out all of Thailand - even Bangkok and Chiang Mai. (Well, I'm flying in and out of Bangkok, but other than that.) I might change my mind, but I think I'd rather use that extra time for Laos and just save all of Thailand for a later trip. Otherwise, the only place I'd make it to in Laos is Luang Prabang. I still need to pick Kyle's brain some more, and Adzie's, and anyone else who's been the region...
That's really it for now! I may not write again until I'm there - we'll see.
