Skeleton plans

As I get closer to the end I have been slowly clarifying and fleshing out my plans. With some great advice from a friend ("less countries, more smiles" - thanks Rob) I have simplified a bit.  For now this is what it looks like:



Jan 13 - Feb 5: Road trip around the US including a ski trips with friends in Utah from Jan 26-31.

Feb 14 - 21: Cambodia, Siem Reap area to explore the Angkor Wat

Feb 22 - Mar 22: Phuket Thailand training Muay Thai

Mar 23 - Apr 15: Rickshaw Run through India.

Whether I fly back to the States from there or visit Nepal etc. is still to be decided. Amsterdam for Queen's Day is also still on the list.

Buying tickets shortly!

Background:   I visited Tiger Muay Thai (TMT) from February 22 to March 23, then returned again from April 15 to April 28, 2010.  I had no previous MMA or Muay Thai experience, though I did grow up wrestling.  I came into my visit with above-average fitness but definitely not close to elite level. The Gym Facilities: TMT is amazing, and they finished a big expansion while I was there.  There is TONS of room, with seven+ massive separate training areas of various sizes, tailored for MMA, Muay Thai, weight lifting, and crossfit style workouts (kettlebells/etc.).  ...
