It's 11:19 on November 24 and we've just laid our bags by the front door. The taxi will be here in a few hours and "I think" we're ready. More like "I hope" we're ready for a full-on backpacking, adventure tour, extravaganza.
I can't say that we are excited -yet. I'm pretty sure by the time we land in Beijing, on our way to Bangkok, the kids (Colby 12, Quinn 10, Levi 5) will understand that we're going some place a little different than familiar, St. Albert, Alberta.
We have our first night booked - and that's about it. We will bolt over to noisy Koh Sahn Road - where the hippest, and most rambunctious(read obnoxious)travellers hang out due to the abundance of cheap accomodation. While in Bangkok the plan is grab a visa or two and see a market or two. Our goal is to have silk sleeping sheets custom made in just a few days as a practical keepsake that will protect us from "koodies". That alone is sure to be an adventure.
As Thailand is wired from end to end - I'm sure I'll have another post later this week detailing the long flight that is the start of our 40 days in South East Asia.

Man, makes me lonesome already! Say hello to my peeps on Koh Sahn Road. There's a bike shop close by which rents fairly good mountain bikes. The owner could probably arrange for the Bangkok back streets tour. It was really cool, along the canals. Have a great trip, will be atching.
