Previewing the trip

Hello to all of our curious fans out there. It's hard to say how many people have reacted utterly bewildered, or at the least surprised, when I tell them I'm traveling Asia this summer; but it's true. It is no doubt out of the ordinary, but something that will be a lifelong experience we can take with us if we survive. There has been plenty of preparation: vaccinations for diseases spread by bird-sized mosquitoes, visas needed to be acquired just to step foot into certain countries, and travel equipment and tickets for getting us there and staying prepared. Either Mike or myself will be updating the blog as frequently as possible. We'll have posts, pictures, and videos. If you truly love either of us, you will follow this blog.
