document it and take lots of pics, then share.
more power to you for living the way you want to and doing an adventure like this.

Ciao!

Get a good portable camera and a flickr account. This will be a tale for the grand kids. 

...or something you'd never want them to hear about

Man...  I'm not on the DMF for a couple days and look what happens.  Geesh!

Congrats, Danno!

Thing happen quick around here  Hey don't you have a sabbatical coming up?  [moto]

Inoculation Day

Went to visit the travel doctor and get some shots, pills, creams. Hep A, typhoid, Tetnis, Cipro, Malarone, Japanese Encephalitis. Mosquitoes in that part of the world are nasty little buggers. Also been looking to get a private tutor to teach my Vietnamese for a few days when i first get there. I think it will be a great way to enhance the experience while there if i can learn a few simple phrases and have a clue of what is going on.

I guess they can't inoculate against scabies...

I've been considering Australia/New Zealand in the winter next year.  I've also been thinking Europe during the summer / early fall.

Werd.

Just spray your nads with malathion or permethrin.  Not only will you not get the scabies, you'll cure anyone you "come" in "contact" with.

Of course, your kids may end up with three arms, but hey, at least no itchy nads.

Getting a mesh jacket, and my 'stich pants, MX helmet. I got a waterproof jacket for a underneath layer. If it gets cold, pack on everything i got. Using Hiking boots for a dual purpose hiking and riding.

Well, hell, I was gonna wait till Spring, but this seems as good a time as any... We can keep it a little more intimate and just invite Dan-o and his friends and all the moto peeps.  I'll of course see if I can get any sympathetic cagers (esp. good looking, single women) to join us.  I guess we're pretty limited on dates...we can do the 9th of Jan.  Dan, you around or are you going to be busy right up until the last moment?  Is there something else already in the works?
