Okay. So here’s the deal. I’ve moved all of my flights to allow myself a full two weeks in Thailand, leaving tomorrow. That means I have exactly FIVE days at home between my return from Asia and my departure to Australia. Translation: Four straight months of on-the-road traveling and not a single second to evolve my journal bullet points into blog form. So I’m hoping quick updates and a gig of digital photos will suffice seekingsol.com while the deeper reflections cook at a slow boil until futher notice.<\/p>\n

I will be in transit over the next few days and know I’m already behind on tales of Japan and Korea. My band-aid for this sore is to organize and provide captions for the 246 pictures I currently have in my albums…<\/p>\n

Okay. We’ve got a date with 16,000 travelers at the legendary full moon party on Ko Pha-Ngan. (Think Leonardo DiCaprio in “The Beach”). I’M really not sure if I should fear, loath or be stoked for this event.<\/p>\n

But isn’t that what travel is about? Finding out for yourself?<\/p>\n

So here we go!<\/p>\n
