Well, we stuck to our old plan to leave for Bangkok on May 1 anyway, even though we won't be meeting my family. Due to other changes in our plans, we decided to leave Oz and head for Thailand, and probably onto Laos and Cambodia. So it's goodbye for now to beautiful Sydney and other parts of Australia that we didn't get to see on this trip. I did get to catch up with old friends and I am sure we will be back again soon to do some more exploration, hopefully it will be over a few months in an awesome van!
