My bags are packed. They’re through security and at my feet. I know enough to know that I’ll never be ready.

I’m ready to go to Cambodia and Thailand. Don’t hear, or rather read me wrong. I’m just not sure I’m quite ready for what I’ll see, who I’ll meet, the food, the laughs, the fears, the tears.

I’m travelling with John McCollum, Executive Director of Asia’s Hope - an organization providing homes, schooling, food, and love for orphans in Cambodia and Thailand. I’ll be blogging my travels here. He’ll also be blogging these travels. I’ve also worked some social media “magic” to get his feeds on:

• twitter: @asiashope
• Facebook: “Fan” Page

For those following my Year with Jane Jacobs, I’ll crosspost the relevant musings and reflections on that page as well. I can’t stop my urban planning ways.
