About this blog

Welcome to our travel blog! Anita and I (John), after getting married this summer... decided to do the "been there, done that... quit my job, sell the car and condo" trip around the world thing. Since this is our first big trip, it is the perfect test to see if we can make it a week without killing each other. We will be traveling through SE (and S) Asia (India, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia), and then on to Europe for some western culture.

We hope you follow along, and enjoy our mishaps and adventures. If nothing else, I'll try to get some good pics of Anita surrounded by tropical insects. Drop us a line if you get the chance.
