Planning for 2009 Has begun

The next trip has begun to move past the planning stages, with a tentative Itinerary set, and the round trip tickets purchased....This time around it will be just a month with a couple of special occasions mixed in, wheels up is July 20th, landing in Manila on the 21st!

The primary reason for this trip is the nuptials of my brother...this will be a special occasion, not only because I'm the best man, but for the chance to participate in this joyous occasion with him. The Clampets are going to Manila, I just hope no one packs with Igloo coolers and piggly wiggly bags!

The tentative Itinerary is looking as such;

Wheels up DTW - 7.20
Land Manila - 7.21
Brother Wedding - 7.25
Tacloban (Visayas) - 7.28 (Tentative)
Oromoc (Visayas) - 7.31 (Tentative)
Manila - 8.02
Bali - 8.08 (Tentative)
Sri Lanka via Singapore 8.11
Delhi, India 8.12
after India from 8.12- 8.20 is Nepal, Bangladesh, Burma, with an attempt to go to Bhutan, and possibly Thailand to enter Burma...

Visa's are all taken care of for India, got the 10 year multiple entry, and the 5 year multiple entry for Bangladesh, and Burma/Myanmar should be in my hands by the end of this week.

The good news is that Martin will be meeting me in the Philippines and the fun will begin, also will be meeting Joe (a friend from home) in Delhi on the 12th....

Let the fun begin.....looks like the Dos Esquis commercial was right...I'm living vicariously through myself!!!
