This year has been a little bit different than other years concerning my summer destination(s). The last couple of years I struggled to decide where I would go, but this year I pretty much knew where I am going, The only thing I have to decide is the logistics for the up to 60 days that I can take. I know that I will be going to Southeast Asia, and that I will be starting with a 14-day tour in Myanmar, but that’s where my plans end. I had decided that I was going to ride a bike from Bangkok to Ho Chi Minh City, but it looks like I won’t be able to do that. That leaves a trip down into Malaysia, Indonesia, or China, or/and Philippines. There are some things that I really want to see this year, and I will try really hard to see them.

The first is Angkor Wat. I’ve always wanted to see the temples and it’s been a “must see” item for me for years. The second is the Philippines. I’m not really sure why I feel a need to go there, maybe it’s just something from my childhood or possibly an impression from some old movie, but for some reason I really want to go.

My plane leaves Dubai on June 21

The tour starts on the 24th

That’s all I’ve got right now.
