Getting Ready

It's official. Tickets have been purchased. I will be flying into Hanoi, Vietnam on September 19, after 26 or so hours that will take me from Boston, through LA and Seoul, Korea, finally landing in Hanoi. My good friend from Vassar, Ian, will be joining me for the first leg of my trip. Having someone to talk to and read my guidebooks with should take the edge off of the lengthy flight.
I've slowly been filling my pack with my travel supplies to get an idea of how much I'll be lugging around. So far, so good; I've managed to avoid the hereditary instinct to accumulate unnecessary junk. We'll see how long this lasts.

Hi Everyone,

Here is my travel blog. I've set this up as a way to keep everyone informed about my adventures as I do a little soul-searching in Southeast Asia. Over the course of my travels, I'll update this page with the latest stories and pictures. I'll try to be consistent with my posts, depending on the time and technology that's available.

Thanks for reading!
