Nearly off! The grand plan

Well it's now only 5 days till I'm off halfway across the world to 40 degree heat, curry and hopefully not too many lady-boys. Typically I am not organised at all and am hoping everything will sort itself out at the last minute..visas, hostels, packing, transport etc!

I'm flying into Bangkok on thursday and then heading down south to the Tsunami volunteer centre in Khao Lak for 3 weeks. Then who knows where I might head but Burma is pretty appealing (much to my parents' dismay) or to see orangutans in Borneo. Or just be a beach bum on Thailand's beaches. Andrea, my favourite Yankee friend from my first gap year in Uganda, is coming to meet me at the end of March and we plan to go to Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia before I fly home at the end of April.

Will it all fall into place or will I be arrested for lack of visas/taking accidental pictures of the military in Burma/forgetting to buy a bus ticket? Will I make it back without being tempted by a tattoo?! And will I stick to my motto: 'Do one thing every day that scares you..' Watch this space!
