I am not a good blogger

So it has become very apparent I am a lousy blogger because it has taken me forever to post between blogs. I'm traveling this time with Kris, a friend of mine from the ice. She is a master blogger. While I get online and check e-mail and check a few sports scores and news stories she has blogged a couple times. So I thought I might was well put a link to her blog because all the things I am doing and seeing, Kris has been doing and seeing as well. I am attempting to be a better blogger but it is not likely going to be as frequent as Kris. Here is the link to her blog. Enjoy!

Reached my Fifth Continent

I've been traveling in Southeast Asia now for a couple of weeks. I'm really glad I chose to travel to this part of Asia above all the other parts. Thailand is an amazing country. Very modern, friendly people, great history and architecture, and great beaches. My goal since I started traveling was to reach all seven continents by the time I was 35. I'm well on track to do that now. I've only got Africa and Australia to go and I don't see it being too hard to get to them in the next three plus years. If things were to work out perfectly next year I would hop over to Australia at the end of another season on the ice and then off to South Africa in the summer to see the World Cup in 2010. This might not be possible though given money constraints and that I'm looking at the possibility of spending a winter season in Antarctica. If so, 2010 is pretty much all dedicated to the ice. There are also many great places I want to see still and so they may take priority over traveling to just get the continents in. The top of my list includes traveling on the Trans-Siberian Railroad from Moscow to Beijing and also hiking the Inca trail to Machu Picchu. Also, there are so many great spots in New Zealand that are still there to explore. I know one thing for certain, I've still got the travel bug and won't be settling down permanently for some time yet.
