Hi all!
Well, I know I have kind of implied that work has been slow, but to be honest, neither Jon nor I has worked a day since we've been here. We've been patient, looked for other opportunities... but really, things just aren't going well. So rather than work at the farmer's market or some restaurant, we, with the help of our amazing parents, have decided to move on.
Rather than just settling down in LA earlier than planned, we are going to continue our adventure in Asia. We will still travel for about a month around Australia as planned (just a little bit earlier), and then head up to Asia for about six weeks of travel before coming home.
The plan for Australia is to drive the East coast from Cairns to Sydney over about two weeks, stopping at beaches, theme parks, islands, waterfalls, and rum distilleries along the way. We will visit some friends in Melbourne and see the sights there, then head up to Ayer's Rock (Uluru) for a few days to experience the outback. After that we will spend a few more days in Sydney and then head up to Asia.
Nothing has been booked for Asia yet, but we are planning to see Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Hong Kong and China (and there has been mention of Taiwan, Tibet, Okinawa, Osaka, Seoul, or Manila). Let me know if you've been to any of these places-- any advice would be awesome!
Okay, I will definitely keep everyone posted as things develop. It has been a crazy few days making all these decisions- this is not at all what I thought I would be doing, but I think it will be amazing, and a better use of our time than sitting around Cairns waiting for work. So... I will let you all know as the adventure continues!

This has to be the definition of following the messages of "The Alchemist" - keeping your mind and heart open to changes and opportunities in other lands. We will all enjoy your adventures from a far. OXOX
Msbb! Happy trails :) I'm glad y'all are getting a move on. Meanwhile, I refer you to Morgan, who has been to Asia too many times to make sense of--shoot him an email (wolbe@post.harvard.edu) and see what he has to say.
Yarrrr!
Hi Tricia! So excited to hear of your change in plans--what an adventure! All's rather quiet here in Atlanta....Molly's in Germany with the Ensemble and Maria is in DisneyWorld with a friend--both having a blast. I will look forward to checking your blog often and hearing of your travels!! Much love, Aunt Denice
