I'm one in a million! Blogger (which is the program that writes this journal) has 1 million users now....but you lot don't care about that! I have just escaped Laos and made it to Chang Mai in Thailand, and boy is that a re-emergence into civilization after where I've been lately! No photos yet, but I'll get some text and photos up while I'm here in the next few days. For those of you scoring at home I'm on my way to Tasmania (via Singapore & Sydney) on 30-31 January, then to New Zealand around Feb 25, then home to SF via Hawaii around early April. Anyone who wants to join me on my trek, especially in New Zealand where I hope to do some major league hiking and maybe some mountain biking, is very welcome!! More about Laos in the next day or so!
