Put me on my death bed right now and I would spend most of my time snivelling and trying to get sympathy. In between, if you were silly enough to ask, I would probably recount my life in journeys. Student debt to solvency, single to happily married, starting points, turning points, aspirations. You know, the big stuff. I might not mention which particular diet fads worked or didn't work. I may not remember that mistake I made at work which was not significant but for which I spent nearly an entire week mentally crippling myself. I would definitely not care whether on Tuesday 24 August 2003, someone had remembered to put the bins out.

And yet on a daily basis approximately 90% of my energy is ploughed into just those issues and the bigger picture is....well, a bit over pixelated.

This is fine, I reason. And perfectly rational. What is important however is not to let stuff I won't remember prevent me from finding the time to create the memories I will cherish.

And so....operation no regrets. Beginning with a travelling adventure. Eleven months, eleven counties, two backpacks, myself, my husband and the odd mosquito along for the ride.

Note

We 'jet' (mixture of bus and boat) to the Mekong Delta for a few days tomorrow. We will blog as we go but may not have the luxury of an internet connection. We will be back Thursday so if it goes quiet and you are someone who might otherwise imagine us dead in a ditch, please note we won't be. Dead, that is. Or even in a ditch.

Given the amount of internet penetration so far, there's a good chance we will be in contact before then, but for now, au revoir (that well known Vietnamese term).
