Well the plans are confirmed, tickets are almost purchased, this craziness will soon begin. As some of you know, I've been beating around some ideas over the past year. I was going to focus on eastern Europe, but now the plans have changed a bit, its a bit more extreme now.

I'll get out of the Army on May 12th, and staying in Europe. I'll be running the Luxembourg marathon on May 19th, and then after recovering I'll begin my bicycle tour. I'll be riding to Normandy, and then back across Europe towards north-east Europe. I'm not quite sure just where yet, but I was thinking of roaming towards Estonia. I'll be carrying a small tent and sleeping bag, a few changes of clothes, and that's about it. I need to be back in Luxembourg by June 15th.

On June 16th I'll be flying to Thailand with my girlfriend. We're not sure just where to go yet. Its the beginning of monsoon season, so I was thinking of starting in the south and then heading north, to kinda run away from the monsoons. I was thinking we'd fly into Bangkok and then take another flight south, and then make our way north by land. She'll fly out on July 6th, and I'll be making my way back to Luxembourg by land.

So . . . I don't know which way to go yet. I don't know anything about the visas and those crazy issues along the way. Any advice? I'm open to all suggestions, I'll need lots of them. I was planning on this adventure from Thailand to Luxembourg taking about two months. Think it can be done it that time? And what path would you take? I'm not scared of some craziness, but I want to make it alive to. Should I skip around/through Pakistan or go through China and Russia? Hmmmmm . . .
