We’ve deliberately left our plans as open as possible: planning is the enemy. We depart SFO on Wednesday, December 19th and land in Bangkok (SFO->SEA->NRT->BKK) late on the 20th. We’ll be meeting up with The Silamander, who arrives shortly before us and departs January 5. The hope is to toodle around the area, perhaps meeting up with Dr. OpenFlow to dive in Phuket and with The Expat Teacher and her family who live near Bangkok. Reuben might also be in the area in February, and so we might return to Thailand when he is. From Thailand we will travel to some selection of Laos, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Burma. On March 12th we depart Bangkok for Lima (BKK->NRT->IAH->LIM), where we will explore the Amazon for 15 days and see the boto before returning to San Francisco on March 28th (LIM->IAH->SFO).

But today we have to handle one of those last-minute emergencies before we depart.
