In two days, I embark on my next adventure - Bangkok, Thailand and Manila, Philippines.
I never thought I would voluntarily book a trip to Asia but after my trip to India I had to get back as soon as possible. Luckily Mark had planned a trip to Thailand/Philippines and let me come along.
Preparing for this trip is a 180 from last time. I have already had all of my shots, I'm less concerned about getting sick (but still a little concerned) and I'm not worried about what to wear (OK, that's not entirely true). Anyway, I haven't started packing, I haven't made a list and I'm not nervous. It may have something to do with who I'm going with. Mark plans on bringing a carry-on only. We will be in LA for 2 nights, Bangkok for 7 and Manila for 3 - and he is ONLY bringing a carry-on. I guess he has thrown down a challenge to me - only bring one bag. OK, I can do that but it will be a BIG bag. :)
As is always the case with me and international travel, Mother Nature is also throwing down a challenge. The monsoon season in Thailand has been very, very bad. There is flooding all over the country and Bangkok is on the brink of being overtaken by the rising waters. I guess it wouldn't be an adventure without a few hurdles to overcome. I'll just bring a bathing suit, raincoat and umbrella. It's just water after all!

(until tomorrow...)
