AND we are off....almost

As you know, I love to travel. In fact, when I moved to the Boston area I declared that I would only be tied to the corporate world for 365 days before jumping on a plane for some grand destination. I was to pay off all my grad school debt and save up enough cash to say "Goodbye USA" and backpack around the world. And then Keith came along. Funny how our goals change. I do not regret my choices. Afterall, now I have a travel partner! So, instead of traveling around the world four years ago, I shacked up with a guy, bought a house and earlier this year got hitched. Now we continue our worldly adventures together.

Next stop....Thailand (via Portland, OR).

At long last, Keith & I are embarking on our honeymoon in Thailand. While we had every intention of carefully planning our intinerary, life, work mostly, got in the way. In true Heidi & Keith fashion, we are flying by the seat of our pants. All I can tell you about our trip is that we fly into Bangkok and have a hotel for the first two nights. After that, who knows where we will end up.

Activities on our agenda include:

• Scuba diving
• Experiencing Thai culture (including massage, temples & food)
• Hiking & kayaking
• Elephant rides
• Good old fashion relaxation

Our journey is broken up into three sections:

1. Boston to Portland OR (Friday, 10/24):Where we will attend a friend's wedding on Mount Hood.
2. Portland to Bangkok(Sunday, 10/26): Where we embark for grand Thai adventures.
3. Bangkok to Boston, via Portland and Dallas (thanks to frequent flyer miles) (11/12).

We will be in Thailand for 14 days. I'll update this blog every few days with tales from our adventures. I we are lucky, Keith may chime in as well.

Wish us luck & feel free to post comments.

Sawat Dii Kah (good bye for now)
