I am posting this from my iPod touch via an open wireless connection at the Seoul train station. For probably the second time on my trip, (Tahiti was the other) I’ve decided to cut things short. Rather than spending several days working my way to Seoul, I just came here directly. It is just too …
Everything I have is now stored, stashed or stowed. I’m with my parents for the next two weeks in Wisconsin. I now have a little under two weeks to get my insurance, shots, gear and banking finalized. On March 29th I’ll be in Vegas. From there it’s on to LA and Hawaii. From there……THE WORLD!!! …
