Going to Los Angeles Then Bangkok
As amusing and exhausting as Vegas is, it’s time to leave. Gary from Everything Everywhere Travel Blog informed me he was going to LA tomorrow and I was welcome to come.
As a result, I’m going to Los Angeles, California then I looked online and shopped around for ~20 minutes before finding a reasonably priced 1-way ticket to Bangkok, Thailand on Air China. I am not booking a hotel, merely going to some “travelers ghetto” and “sorting it out there”. It’s a long trip, not sure but I do recall seeing 19 hours of travel time. Either way it’s cheap, wired, warm and exotic over there and frankly, I’ve had enough of North America for the next while.
Not sure if I’ll update tomorrow but I bet we’ll find something, somewhere that has wifi.
Having no plan is often the best plan. If I had an exit date, this wouldn’t be happening. If I needed “an itinerary” this wouldn’t be happening, see where I’m going with this?
I’ve never been to Asia, only Europe and Central America. This is going to be a BIG change / shock to the system and I’m looking forward to it. Speaking of change, I’ve never written from a dirty tradeshow floor before… My computer is dead and this is the only jack I have. Next time you hear from me, good chance I’ll be in Asia eating cheap street meat and counting on my gregarious nature to meet up with other interesting people.
Furthermore, I can’t think of a better person to go with from Vegas to LA, Gary has been traveling the world since 2007. Need I say more?
When I was 29 I quit my job, sold my stuff and hit the road, traveling for about a year throughout Asia and the middle east. It was the most amazing experience that I’ve ever had.
Korea, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Egypt, Turkey, Israel, and more. Enjoy and keep your mind and your heart open!
Have fun! The feeling of having a one way ticket is unique. Enjoy the next step.
Thanks Sheldon, that’s the plan and good advice. Same age, same plan.
I guess things have changed, but not long ago you couldn’t get off the plane and get a traveler’s visa without proof of departure (a ticket out of the country). Things do change and I guess this is one of those changes.
Enjoy yourself! If you get to The Weekend Market, be sure not to miss the rice cakes. They are unlike any snack you’ve had here by that name.
Truth be told, I’m a little worried about that in the back of my mind. I heard it was “all good” so I’m going with it.
Thanks and I’ll check it out.
Since you’re probably missing my smoothies, make sure you find yourself a bhang lassi in thailand.
Reens aka Reni – I do miss your smoothies, I miss saying “MORNING REENS” even more. Say hit to @Jamblo for me and you guys should come visit.
