Guess where now?
I guess I kind of left my blog hanging since I left Bangkok last and I felt I should bring it up to date for those who don't know.
At 12:30 AM on Tuesday (24 April) morning I rang the doorbell of my parents house in Austin, Texas, USA. Not accustomed to visitors at this hour, they were at first a bit confused, and then shocked when they saw me at the door. I had led them - and everyone else that reads my blog for that matter - to believe that I would be traveling for another month at least. But I had actually booked my flight home when I was in Bangkok at the begining of April. I didn't tell anyone from back home when I was coming home. Its not every day that you get to surprise someone that thinks you are on the other side of the world! So I couldn't pass up the chance.
I had been feeling a bit tired of traveling since around the end of February. And after my wonderful but difficult 3 weeks in Myanmar that kind of sealed my fate. I simply wasn't motivated to travel any longer on this trip. Although I was really bummed for my trip to be ending and there are so many countries I want to visit, there is no other country that I would rather be in right now than home.
From 7 June 2006 to 23 April 2007 - nearly 11 months, and plenty long enough for me for this trip.
