outANDabout.
i consider travel a priveledge not right. each time i travel i think i get the bug out of my system, and each time i come home i realize it's a lifelong affair that will only be postponed, never cured. some have the burden, some don't; none the better or the worse for it. i have been blessed with the time and money to forego hot water and a dependable night's sleep for the next few weeks. vietnam, cambodia, and thailand are on the agenda. avoiding malaria, tuberculosis and pepto bismol are my only goals. cheers to dirty feet, 12-hour bus rides, and a unmistakeable smile.
