i have purchased my flight to thailand and will be leaving on december 19th to tokyo and arriving in bangkok at midnight on the 21st.
i'm scared to death, but excited to death. i think i always get like this before i leave the country. i was like that when i first arrived into mexico city. but after a few hours i was roaming the streets like i'd been there for years. i don't think i'm like this when i'm going somewhere with someone. maybe it's my 'guide' instinct that pumps up my confidence and i feel at ease because i'm having to take care of someone else. i'll be heading to phuket or krabi beach in the southern islands first. i'll be bringing my harness and hopefully some climbing shoes and hope to meet up with some expert climbers so i can tag along with my beginner climbing ass. i have a feeling it will be like the first time i surfed at new symrna and the experts were yelling "hey grommet, get the hell off my wave!" that sure does bring back some great memories. haha.
i'll be sure to be posting here once i arrive. maybe it can be a 'rucksack thailand?'
this trip is somewhat of a cleansing for me. it will be good to immerse myself in another culture, learn more about me and focus on just me.
i'll take a deep breath just before i get off the plane and close my eyes to take that first step into another great new adventure.
happy trails,
jay b

Have a safe and happy trip. I know you must take this adventure but know you do not go alone. Grandpa will be with you every step of the way and will be showing you many things through his eyes. Take beautiful pictures so I can also enjoy this adventure but come home soon. I will miss you terribly. Mom
