Excitement -- Already?

It's approximately 3 months before I'm leaving for my grand journey, and already I'm overwhelmed with excitement.

I don't know how many hours I've wasted spent looking up things to do in each country.

What's top on my list you ask?

Elephants.
Ride them.
Touch them.
Feed them.
Elephants.

While I'm trying not to get my hopes up for anything, I really will throw a fit be upset if I don't get to at least see elephants.

When people mention my trip, my eyes widen, I talk in the highest pitch voice I can muster, and I gleam with pure excitement.

I hope I don't annoy anyone before the end of July!

It All Starts Somewhere

The point of this blog is to document my journey to Australia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Singapore. Also to document all the happenings before leaving; the packing, and getting of new things for this trip. I intend to compile these entries to form a book at the end of my journey to have a physical record of my adventure. I hope to provide a story of my adventure for anyone that wishes to follow along.
