Leaving on a Jet Plane

[fauxklore]

I am not especially looking forward to spending 20+ hours traveling today, but it should be worth it in the end. I'm still convinced that I've forgotten something or other I should have packed, but there are shops in other parts of the world, so I'll live.

I expect to have sporadic internet access. But I hope to have better things to do with my time than typing away on-line. So, while I am still doing Holidailies, I don't plan long detailed posts until I am back.

By the way, I like things to be somewhat organized, so I put all my travel documents in a manila folder. I needed an envelope large enough for the folder to go in, which meant emptying odds and ends out of one in my den. I can vaguely understand why I had most of what was in there (including a surprising number of fortune cookie fortunes), but I can't figure out why I would have put a toothbrush (in an unopened box) in with the magazine clippings and the like.

Where are you going today?

Today I'm flying to Bangkok (via Tokyo). Connecting overnight there to Phnom Penh. Where I will spend a few days before heading up to Siem Reap (mostly to see Angkor Wat). I'll spend a few days in Bangkok itself on the way back, as I have never actually been there.

Safe travels!

Could the toothbrush have been some sort of freebie, from your dentist or in the mail or something? I've found that things that enter my house via non-standard means (not from the store, in this case) can end up in weird places, e.g. I'm processing the mail so this goes into a stack of papers, then the stack gets put away -- oops!
