60 days until Cambodia!!!

2 months exactly from today, my whole family and few close friends will be in the motherland of my Mother, Cambodia...whoop whoop!! So we bought our tickets couple of days ago. We came across a few issues at first such as booking the wrong return date, not being able to get the same price for everyone, not having the passport number and worst of all...arguing with the sales guy who did not want to help me. After hanging up on him a few more times until I got someone who was super nice (& was probably sitting right next to the douchebag that didnt help me) to help with my return date. At the end, all 11 people who are going finally got their tickets! Yes, 11 people total are going, kids including. I was even able to book my seatings(aisle seating please?).

This would be Eric's first time leaving the United States and I don't think he even knows what 3rd world is?! At dinner today, my friend Teri was saying that we should buy chocolates to pass out to the kids. Of course, Eric responded with a "why can't we just buy it from Cambodia? I'm sure they have chocolate there!". He then went onto the topic of Cambodia not having cocoa to make chocolate LOL! Hellooooo...I dont think Cambodia have snickers!!

Anyways, thought I start a blog (first time) so my friends can follow my trip. I'll be sure to update it as much as I can while I'm on the trip. If I haven't updated for a week or so, please feel free to alert the emergency missing person...I think it's travelstate.gov! I was smart enough to enroll myself on there in case anything does happen (you never know...remember that movie with Claire Dane and her friend who ended up in jail in Thailand and OMGEee, nobody knew where she was at!).
