Most Memorable Travel Experience
Ton Sai/Railey (Thailand) going down to see the lagoon which was just over the hill, as the map on the sign indicated. with insuffient footwear and we desided to make the journey just over the hill and a little hike. ...we should have pondered a little more when the athletic looking group from isreal said they stopped 20m from the lagoon and didn't bother going all the way to the warm aqua waters. it turned out to be an adventure in rock climbing, only made incredibly slippery by the previous days monsoon rains red clay. nearly plummed to the death a couple times, prayed to god rains wouldn't start again leaving us trapped, and enjoyed the afteroon in our oasis.
Profile
I got a passport to go to dominican with my aunt for christmas, at which time i thought, hmmm. i wonder what it would take to fill this up? I got three pages left, and I this is only after encouraging the passport control people to overstamp other pages. I got a year and half left, so we will see how it goes.
