Traveling

Itinerary (ish) and Classified ad

Well, Fabienne is finally here! The adventure has started!
Just to give you a bit of an idea of where we will (possibly) be going-
This weekend we are going to Pingyao- we leave Friday night for an over nite train and will stay around Pingyao til Wed ish..
Then Sat we leave with Chantal, Phil and Jess for Xiahe (which is supposed to be more Tibet than Tibet- very excited) and we will probably extend our stay there on our own til about mid- late Oct.
After that, back to Beijing to pick up Fab's visa and off South- after a hike on the Great Wall, which I am so psyched to do...
We have to exit China by Dec 6 (my visa) so we will probably spend until then in the southern provinces (it'll really only be a month) and then we will cross the border into Northern Thailand. We will spend a bit of time in the North and then have to be in Bangkok by Dec 24 to meet C, P, J for xmas- stay in Bangkok for a week- and then down to Koh Samui (island in Thailand) for New Years. We will spend a bit of time around there and then, well, that's where we've gotten to for now-
Amazing that our plans packed up so quickly. At first I thought a year would be sucha long time- and I know some people back home thought so too- but it will go by soo quickly. I'll be home before I know it. I have plans until mid January, and that will already have been 4 months since I left!!
Oh, ya here is my classified ad for a traveling buddy- Fabienne will probably go back to planting trees next June, maybe even beg of May, so I will either head back to Beijing then, and maybe home (boooo) or if anyone wants to meet me then I am game for anything (my wallet allows).
So email me if anyone plans on being in the area in April, May, June of next year... hike the Himalayas? trek in Tibet? Singapore slings in Singapore? Whaddaya say?
