If you REALLY want me to talk about my trip well, here goes:- Leaving the UK via Eurostar to Europe then up by train to Stockholm. Then by ferry/train to St. Petersburg. Train To Moscow. Trans Siberian to Mongolia. Continue to Beijing. Train down into Vietnam. Bus from Hanoi to Vientiane (Laos). Bus from Vientiane to Chiang Mai. Bus from Chiang Mai to Pai (where we live part time). Spend a little time in Pai then train down to Bangkok & onward to Butterworth/Penang. Unfortunately, from here on we have to fly (to Manilla). Fly from Manilla to Vancouver. Buy a cheap van/car in either V/C or Seattle & drive down the west cost to San Francisco. Train from LA to New Orleans. Train from New Orleans to New York. Fly from New York back to UK (where we live part time). We are planning for side-trips in this journey. If anyone can offer suggestions, please do. We have some already planned. Thanks for putting up with my indulgence.
I vote that Kangal replace Elop!
