Meet me along the way

I don't like to think of a year in terms of 'how many do I have left?' For the sake of a New Year's Resolution, it's ok. What was my NYR? It was to save money. What for? That I have figured out. I am saving for a trip back to ASIA.

It's all tentative. At this point I wouldn't even call the trip to Asia a plan. But here's the idea. Taiwan, Thailand, Korea. But there's room for more. Vietnam? Cambodia? Hong Kong?

How could I pass up a rickshaw ride with a driver who tries to call for the police after HE asks YOU about weed? Or the pizza shop that adds that 'special topping' for you? Seriously, it's hard not to go after hearing stories about the scuba diving and cliff diving off the beaches of Thailand (sorry, Drake. Cliff diving was not so kind to you). The stories about the half- and full-moon parties flood in from everyone who has been. But it's not the parties I really want to go to. I want to see it all.

I want to see the skyscrapers of Hong Kong. Ride the coastline roads of Vietnam on a beat scooter-motorcycle. The sights and warmth of Taiwan. And of course the remnants of what I left behind in Korea. I want to compile a travel log worth reading about. I want to live it up the only way I know how. Getting out.

For now, it's all tentative. But I do extend the invitation to all. All are welcome to join. The more the merrier!

Meet me along the way.
