Cambodia has been a wonderful time. I really do not want to leave this place, but the show must go on. Tomorrow we will begin our trip to the border of Vietnam and head for Ho Chi Min City. There we will pick up Bouey’s father and a couple of others to head up north. […]

If I meet another expat…
July 21, 2007 – 5:15 am
I will probably go up and give them a hug. For those of you that don’t know what I am talking about, expat is short for expatriate, which is a person who resides in a country other than the one that they hail from. We have met people from the US, UK, Hungary, Russia, Greece, […]
New Photo Galleries from Thailand and Cambodia
July 19, 2007 – 6:54 am
It is a huge task. There are so many amazing things that we see daily that we do not realize just how many photos we have to go through. Steve Bouey did most of the work editing the photos and getting them up online. Overall I think that he went through over a thousand photos […]
Our First Wonder of the World
July 18, 2007 – 3:42 am
A long time ago the seven ancient wonders of the world were made official in a poem by Antipater of Sidon, who described the structures around 140 BC: "I have set eyes on the wall of lofty Babylon on which is a road for chariots, and the statue of Zeus by the Alpheus, and the hanging gardens, and […]
Mine Boggling
July 14, 2007 – 3:49 am
Before we even arrived in Cambodia, I knew the country had a troubled past and one of the results of the conflicts is a landscape littered with land mines. You occasionally read about the Cambodian land mine problem in a magazine or hear about it when a famous celebrity mentions something about it at a PR event. […]
One Hell of a Ride
July 12, 2007 – 10:55 am
We have heard many horror stories about the road conditions in Cambodia. People frequently disregard traffic laws and you basically need a tank to get over all of the pot holes. One such stretch of road, famous for being particularly bad, is the road from the border town of Poipet to Siem Reap and the […]
Dear the rest of the countries in the world,
July 8, 2007 – 7:03 am
Now I know that I told all of you I would visit. A couple of years ago was when I first started talking to all of you. At this point I know that I look like a bit of a liar. When Steve and I started planning a while ago we told all of you […]
Our Last Few Days in Thailand
July 7, 2007 – 7:26 am
We only have a few days left before we drive on to Cambodia, and there are a lot of things to update everyone on regarding our last several days in Thailand.As far as mosquito bites and fevers go, I am feeling a lot better. I still don’t seem to have much energy and find myself […]
Update From My Death Bed
July 3, 2007 – 7:04 am
O.K., not my death bed, but I certainly have felt like I wanted to die a few times. For the past five days or so, I have been… well, not well. I think I am starting to turn a corner, but after the roller coaster ride I have been on, I am not holding my breath, […]
Call for Expedition Members
June 30, 2007 – 10:57 am
As many of you already know, we have had the crew fluctuating lately. Up and down from 3-6 people we are now down to just Steve Bouey and I. So I thought I would put out this little blog to formally announce that we are looking for crew members. More than that though, we are […]
