The who, when, and what

Hello family and friends!

As many of you know, I'm about a week away from embarking on a 9 week bicycling expedition through SE Asia. Leaving September 24 and returning December 5. My trip should take me through the countries of Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam. When it's all said and done I expect to put about 2500 miles on the bike.

The details of this trip are still pulling themselves together (maps, visas, headlights, wrenches, racks, medicine, etc, etc.) but slowly I'm getting it all stuffed into the panniers. Thank God for many years of Ragbrai's back-of-the-packrat mentality which has sufficiently prepared me for surviving armageddon on a bicycle. I will persevere, and, with all the stuff I'm taking, I'll probably be pretty comfortable and capable of entertaining a dozen others in the process.

Thanks for your support, prayers, advice, and willingness to back down when I don't want advice. I'll do my best to keep the blog updated! Thanks for following!

Love,
Kristi
