So, I don't know if anyone has noticed, but I haven't updated my blog in a while. I've been a bit busy, but I guess I didn't really know what to do with the blog now that I'm not travelling. The old format of my just posting random garbage that I find mildly amusing didn't really seem like a good use for the blog.

Well, the good news is that I'm planning another trip, so I have a brief reprieve. Andrew and I are planning a little trip to Cambodia and Thailand in January. We plan to fly into Bangkok, then take a short flight into Siem Reap, Cambodia to see the temples of Angkor Wat. Then we'll boogie overland to the Thai/Cambodian border (which apparently is a bit of crazy trip and crazy border crossing, though not get yourself killed crazy like it was a few years ago). After crossing the border we'll go to the island of Ko Chang which is supposed to be beautiful and relaxing. Then maybe a few days in Bangkok and then home. We'll be over there for about two weeks total.

One interesting wrinkle in these plans is the avian flu. Andrew's mother (a doctor) got Andrew a dose of Tamiflu, and recommended that my father (also a doctor) do the same for me. My dad is also going to Thailand in January, so he's in the same boat as me. Well, he thinks, and I agree with him, that the chance of getting avian flu is so remote that it makes no sense taking Tamiflu. I'm far more likely to die in a plane crash. I hope I don't do that either, though. Or lose my towel. That sucked.
