So tomorrow I am off for 3.5 weeks to Southeast Asia! While I am trying to be excited about it, I am mostly anxious. For one, I have left my packing until the last minute, which I prefer. But it's different this time because Matt isn't coming with me this time. I am heading off to Incheon Airport tomorrow without him. While I am extremely psyched to see my mom in 2 days, I am not looking forward to traveling by myself. I didn't think I was going to be as sad to leave Matt behind for a week, but I am. Guess that means we're meant to be together, hehe.
Anyways, I plan on updating this blog with travel write-ups and pictures throughout the trip. We will have some sort of internet access at every hotel/hostel we're staying at, and for the first two weeks we'll have my mom's small net book. After after that I will use my i-touch and any available desktop to update.
Sorry for my lack of posts in the past few weeks. I have been busy getting things organized for this trip and for my winter camp at school that just recently finished. In all honesty I haven't had the time to think about the wedding at all! Amazing, I know. But anyone who is in the same boat as me or who has been here knows that it's sometimes healthy to step away for a while from the planning. Matt and I are both looking forward to getting back into the planning in February when we return to Korea.
So, here is a quick itinerary of the trip. Check back often to get recaps!
January 11-18th: Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam/ Mekong Delta Tour/Wedding dress!
January 18th: Matt meets us in Bangkok
January 18th-23rd: Bangkok, Thailand/Phi Phi Islands...rest and relaxation!
January 24th: Mom leaves :(
January 25th-30th: Siem Reap, Cambodia (Angkor Wat temples)/ My 26th birthday!
January 31-February 3: Chiang Mai, Thailand (northern)
February 4th: depart for Korea
Wish me (and my mother who is also traveling solo for 25 hours!) good luck and safe travels!
