And We're Off!

After eight months of planning our official date is finally around the corner! It's hard to believe our trip is finally coming to fruition on September 7th. People ask if I am nervous or scared? I have had eight months of nervousness and "what the hell are we doing" thoughts but I am happy to say I am very excited for our departure and the adventures that lie ahead of us. We are lucky to have some friends join us on our beginning travels. Two friends we met at a friend's wedding this summer, Bill and Meghan, are taking off the same day and will be joining us in Bangkok for a couple days and then heading down to the Southern gulf Thai islands. Our first stop after Bangkok will be in Koh Samui where we are meeting up with some of Brett's Salesforce friends, Matt Budd-Thanos, Ben Shapero, and his girlfriend Sarah Adelaars. From there will head up to Koh Pha-nang for a half moon party (we won't be able to make the full moon party so half will do) and Koh Tao for some amazing scuba diving. After our beach relaxation, Brett and I will be heading on our own back up to Chiang Mai to start our travels through Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, and Indonesia. We have posted a map showing our tentative route. For those who have traveled to Asia we would appreciate any comments/recommendations you have throughout our travels. We thank everyone's love and support and we are excited to share our stories with you! Stay tuned for our next post in Bangkok. For those who may want to Skype our name is: Blatham22.
