Starting The Trip (August 9, 2004)
Hello All,
Even given the two hour difference with the east coast, most of you are fast asleep as I write this - it's 4:09 AM on Monday the 9th. I've been threatening to stay up all night before I left on my trip, and low and behold that is just what I've come close to doing. With an hour or so of things to do before I'm fully ready, I'll get an hour of shut-eye before I head off for airport. This may ultimately help me, as I'll bet I'll sleep much on the plane. And I have lots of time to sleep, as I head from Bozeman to Seattle to Tokyo and then onto Beijing - arrivng Beijing at 9:30 their time tomorrow night.
After a couple of days in Beijing, I fly to Mongolia on Friday the 13th!!!! "You know it's gonna get stranger, so let's get on with the show." And off I go, to be camping in Mongolia's backcoutry, just 30-40 miles from the Russian border, by Sunday night.
So that's it for now, as I am fading and have other things to do. More soon.
Tom
