Ticket to ride

Cambodia as of 12/22/05 I have a plane ticket in hand! Yea! If it wasn’t for all the help I wouldn’t be going. The expenses are adding up quick and the plane ticket was much more than anticipated, $1418.00 Ill be flying NWA. Our route of travel will be Japan, then to Bangkok were we have a 8 hour layover each way over night. So I’m planning on getting a room there each way and then to Phnom Penh, around 28 hours each way. With the time and date change leave Seattle Thursday afternoon and arrive Sunday morning. The Cambodian government apparently is having a budget crisis with gas prices as well. Do to the cost of gas they are not willing to have fire training done at this time. The good news is that we do have a EMT class to teach with 40 students from all over Cambodia and a lecture hall at Hope Hospital to teach at, so I’m on for sure. The bad news is the government hasn’t committed to covering our lodging and travel while were there, as of today and will be able to make the trip. Thanks again! I’ll be posting trip progress and expenses on my Blog site

Thanks Andy
