Do you know how difficult it is for people (from certain countries) to visit the United States? For citizens of Canada, it’s really no big deal and those folks can get the visa application process almost completely waived. However, for many other citizens of the world, visiting the U.S. is a huge hassle and an [...]

I may have mentioned this before, but despite the fact that I’ve been OBSESSED with RTW (that’s round-the-world) travel for many years and despite the fact that going on a year-long sojourn (doesn’t that sound more purpose-filled than ‘hang out’?) is my number one item on my Life List, the closest I’ve come is to [...]
Me = Total Slacker (sometimes!)

So, I’ve taken almost a week off from writing here. I’m still trying to figure out why exactly. My big summer class wrapped up last week which is a complete relief (and I got an ‘A’) but I had a lot of work to do there at the end so I think I was a [...]
Gear (Part 1 of many)

For someone who is looking for specific outdoor gear to take on a trip to Asia, I couldn’t really ask to live in a more convenient place. Drew and I live about fifteen minutes from one of the outlet meccas of the universe (Freeport, Maine) where you can find outlets for North Face, Patagonia and [...]
Vaccines
Posted in Asian Adventure 2011 on August 9, 2010 | 3 Comments »
One unglamorous part about traveling in certain parts of the world is the vaccinations that must be obtained prior to travel. In the U.S. we get a lot of vaccinations as children and I would suggest that we are heartily protected from any bug you’re likely to see in these parts. In other regions different [...]
Itinerary

For our Asian Adventure, Drew and I are feverishly working on an itinerary. Now, many people who choose to do extended travel prefer not to have an itinerary that’s too set, just in case they stumble upon an amazing city/beach/adventure and want to stay in said location longer. I envy that way of travel, and hope to [...]
Travel Guides + Library = Luv

I just want to say that I am so pumped up about my upcoming travels that it’s taking every restraint I have not to just throw up some word vomit out here on the web and go over every topic and every thought I have about every little thing relating to this trip in one [...]
Tickets

We have tickets! Over the past week, Drew and I buckled down and actually purchased the tickets that will take us to and from Southeast Asia next January. The first ticket was purchased a week ago, using an absurd number of frequent flier miles (110,000 to be exact). Last night, we used our hard earned [...]
A Big Announcement

I have some big news to share today. I’ve been waiting until all the critical people have been informed and the correct permissions have been obtained, but I can wait no more. In January 2011, Drew and I are taking off for a month-long traveling extravaganza around Southeast Asia! The details behind this amazing opportunity [...]
