So our flight for Bangkok leaves at 6:30 tomorrow morning, just over 13 hours from now - meaning a 3AM wake-up. I'm debating whether we should even bother going to bed, and just go out partying instead, but then again we will be travelling for the next 28 hours - becoming more sensible with age really does suck sometime.
So the plan is to fly into Bangkok, spend a few days there, then head south down the peninsula and take in the islands, beaches and sunshine (we hope - it's still the tail end monsoon season). After that, we're going up to the northern region - Chiang Mai and environs. From there, we're going to wander over to Laos, head down the Mekong river to Luang Prabang (gotta love that name), then over to Vientiane, then somehow make our way down to Angkor Wat (through Laos or Thailand - not sure yet). From there we will meander back to Bangkok for our flight back, perhaps hitting Ko Chang along the way. Of course all this is subject to subsequent whims.
Two months sounds like a long time until you start going through the guidebooks/Internet in detail and realize how much there is to see in any particular place; plus, I'm sure we'll hear of other interesting things once we get there.
Stay Tuned......

Bon Voyage!
Have fun
I'm eager to know what Carole's first comment will be on the rather pungent (open sewer) smell that will greet her upon arrival on Khao San Road in Bangkok!
