This is a public information announcement.. Travelling is a journey best undertaken with caution! We're one week away from setting off on an 8 month adventure taking in 8-9 countries over 3 continents.. This figure is vague, partly as i'm including the US of A despite us only stopping there for 4 hours as part of our return, but also we're currently deciding how best to navigate the floods affecting Thailand, specifically regarding Bangkok.

We're due to arrive on Thursday next week, and the city is preparing for a major wash-out. So, do we avoid Bangkok altogether? Go to Singapore instead? Heading to Phuket seems on the cards, but where should we come from? It's a tough call as already we're spending money on internal transfers instead of land transport as planned, and if the airport floods then we're looking at further additional fees..

If you can't beat them, join them?
