Welcome!

Thanks for stopping by my site! I hope I've found a place now where I can document and share my upcoming travels and experiences. It appears that here I will be able to not only "blog" as much as I'd like, but to upload my pictures as well. Feel free to take a look around and provide suggestions! Stay tuned in coming months as I'll be updating with more details about the trip!

11:26 AM, July 29, 2008...

Which means that 10 hours from now, I ought to be sitting on an airplane, mere minutes into a nearly 34 hour itinerary bringing me finally to rest in Phuket, Thailand. Since they're 12 hours ahead, does this mean that if I'd started there I'd already be flying? I'm not sure.

I've never blogged before, but I am excited to have a central site for displaying pictures and writing notes about my trip. Hopefully it will be entertaining enough for you all. I encourage any of you to comment/respond to my posts. I think it will be much more enjoyable if this is an interactive deal. Extra points for the first person to identify the band referenced in both the url and title of this blog... it shouldn't be too hard.

At the moment, a lot of details about the future of my trip are quite open-ended, so I'll start by sharing what I do know:

-I leave today, July 29, 2008
-I begin a four week, 160 hour certification course beginning on Monday, August 4, after which I will be certified to teach in any non-native English speaking country in the world.
-I begin applying for jobs, with the help of the school, around the third or fourth week of August.
-No, I'm not married yet. (I hear that the final tally at the bar on Friday was "everybody - 2" in favor of.) Of course, I'm not even THERE yet now am I...

I suppose that about now I should be prying myself away from the computer again to finish up the last few things before I leave, but if you've read this far I thank you for tuning in, and I hope to have many stories to share with you in the near future! Thank you ALL for your support!

-Tom
