The last thing to discuss concerning Thailand is the final portion of the trip when we got back into Bangkok after Pattaya. Chris gave me a xanax for the bus ride, because sweet-talked it out of him. I spent the majority of the ride asleep or pretending to be asleep. Being on xanax made that entertaining. The bus to us to BKK airport where we caught cabs to get into Bangkok proper. Cab drivers are nuts there, and had I not been spaced out on a drug that slows the central nervous system, I may...

uman migration has taken place at all times and in the greatest variety of circumstances. It has been tribal, national, class and individual. Its causes have been climatic, political, economic, religious, or mere love of adventure.

The Following Day: 7:30AM: The next morning we eat breakfast prepared by the hotel. They had prepared fresh fruit, scones, orange juice, coffee and tea all for us since we were the only guests that night. After breakfast, it was time for the trains! When I walked outside, it was snowing and it was around 20 degrees. This was not the kind of weather that I was used to So I put on my Amtrak rain cost and walked over to the depot. Highway 97   ...

I went to school in LA and lived in DC. I've done the drive many tiems now, both alone and with help. This was gonna be the big drive. The "I just graduated and dragged my brother along drive." It, in fact, was a big drive.

I arrived in Portland in the afternoon. My friend Kert picked me up and drove me to the dealership where the new addition of my family was waiting!! Once we picked up my truck we drove to his house in Eagle Creek to drop of his vehicle and start our adventure!  We made it to Tacoma, WA that night. I wanted to stay the night at my friends’ house. So that's what we did. SUPER FUN! We bought beer and watched the Family guy.........

The front desk gave me my $8 back and apologized for the smell, but that was about it.I took a taxi to the train station, checked ...
