Need more Asian noodles! So this summer we’re returning to the Far East in search of more. Last time we went around the world we took 15 months. Now we are trying the condensed summer version of 70 days with a focus on parts of Asia.
We saw a total of 11 countries on the trip. The 7 new countries were Qatar, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, the Philippines, Myanmar, and New Zealand. We will also revisit Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, and Australia. We started the summer with a half-cross-country road trip from Miami, through Missouri and up to Chicago and will complete the summer with a complete cross-country road trip from Los Angeles to Miami. There are many places in our own country we have yet to see.
The summer also includes three solo trips for two of the girls. Madi is doing two medical trips, one to Nicaragua and one in Phitsanulok, Thailand. Cali is flying home from Thailand to the British Virgin Islands to live on a sailboat for 17 days. Kier is working remotely while we are on the road and Madi is taking two online University courses. Gonna be a great summer!
Endless plates of noodles, here we come. Ikimasho!
