6 months

So, I've almost been in Korea a full six months. It's time for a vacation. I need it. It's been weird not having crazy adventures every weekend like in Europe...so I'm just going to have to make up for it in the next two weeks. Here's my schedule---sort of:

Tuesday the 29th...leave Seoul for Hanoi, Vietnam....
Tour around Vietnam for a couple of days...see some sights...take cool pics...

Leave Hanoi for Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Have lunch at the FCC "foreign correspondent's club" and pretend I'm famous. Visit Angkor Wat...explore temples....have jungle adventures. Come out of it all alive....a couple of days later.

Leave Cambodia for Thailand. Land in Phuket Island...and go direct to the JW Marriot and check in to our 2 story apartment on private beach. There will be 4 of us total now...split 4 ways the cost isn't too bad...but don't I deserve luxury? Yes.
One week in Thailand....sea kayaking....trekking...snorkeling....diving....everything.

I'm gonna take some awesome pics...so be ready.

I made it

I am finally done with my instructor upgrade in the F-16...I finished last week...and what a relief! It took almost 6 months....with weather delays and repeat flights. It's a great feeling to be done and I can't wait to start instructing other F-16 pilots.

I just got a new Digital SLR camera and am totally excited about it. I love photography--and this will help me take even better pics. I plan on taking it to Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand in 2 weeks....and I'll be sure to post pics of this epic trip.

Last weekend we got a chance to go to a soccer game in Jeonju. It was pretty cool. What was better? Going out to dinner at "Outback Steakhouse." Yes, they actually have a few of those in Korea.
