the anticipation..

i've left regina, sk for the last time in one year. that city is full of wonderful people whom i will miss dearly. however, i'm onto the next big adventure.. once you get that itch, there's no turning back..

last night i went over to christine's place to discuss our list of to-do's.. stacy tracked us down all the way from s.korea and she and christine had their very first conversation! very trusting of my character judgement, with good reason obviously. i can't think of two better people to embark on such a trip with. stacy and i had the time of our lives last summer in europe, and steen and i have been discussing the possibility of a trip since, probably grade 10! it's about time..

so, in t minus 4 days we will be boarding a plane in winnipeg, stopping in chicago and tokyo, and landing at our destination: bangkok, thailand. bring on the heat and humidity. us girls were born for it.. from there we'll tentatively make our way north through thailand and cross the boarder into laos, then cambodia.. vietnam.. into china.. (where we'll meet up with the selby clan for a wedding/party of sorts!) from there we fly to india.. trek into nepal.. then fly back down to thailand where we will spend christmas and new years.. and mid-january we'll be hitting up the land of auz.. and some time after that, newzealand..

check back here to keep posted on happenings.. we'll be sure to fill you in on stories, where we're at, and what's going on.

love.

Hi Mel.
Sorry we won't be able to make it to your farewell shindig. We'll be thinking of ya as you start out on this amazing chapter in the life and times of Melanie Kissick.

Much love to you.
