Bangkok, Thailand

July 30, 2009

Yesterday we reached Thailand finally, and got a room to stay in for a night. THis morning My dad, my sister, and myself had really really good street food for breakfast. We were up at 5:00 am here because we still haven't gotten used to the time change. Thailand is about 14 hours in front of CA. I would guess. Tonight we are going to take a sleeping train to a boat which will take us to Ko Toa. Soon I'll have a lot to write about. Here you don't get wifi unless you pay. It is still really fun. The picture is of Hin Wong, the place we are staying in Ko Toa.

Leaving Tomorrow morning

July 27, 2009

Last night I ended up sleeping over at one of my friends houses.  I had a lot of fun. I also finished packing everything up today. So at about 5:00 or 6:00 PM  my family and I are going to LA and meeting my aunt who will take us to the airport. We are supposed to be at the airport at 9:30 I think. So when we reach LA we might go out for dinner or something. There isn't much to write about today once again. Although, when we actually get off the plane, I'll be writing a lot.

Starbucks

Today we have to finish packing everything in the house. We also have to go shopping for shoes. Yuck! Although, afterward I get to hang out with two of my best, best friends. This morning I am also looking forward to taking a trip to Starbucks. I LOVE Starbucks! They have the best green tea frappucinos with whipped cream on top. Today is a pretty boring day. Not so much to write about...

Getting ready for the Trip

July 25, 2009

This year on July 28 my family and I are going on a big one year trip. We are going around the world. Mostly South East Asia. We are flying first this Tuesday on a 13 hour flight to Taipei at 1:50 am then a 3 hour flight from there to Bangkok, Thailand. After we land we are going to buy train tickets to Surat Thani which is a beachy, white sand, clear water place in Thailand. Then we'll take a boat to Ko Tao, which is a tiny island in Thailand.

We are finishing up packing today. We bought our backpacks a little while ago at REI, so today we went back to get carry on bags. Since we are going backpacking around the world, we have to get good backpacks. The last couple days before you leave really get to you... We have been talking about this for at least a year, and now we are actually going! It's really surprising!
