Today’s post is a quick trip planning update and travel tip. After accumulating 280,000 Delta Airlines Frequent Flyer Miles, I’ve cashed them all in for 2 round-trip tickets from Orlando to Sydney in just over 200 days! Now that the dates have been selected comes the monumental task of planning the itinerary.
Sure there are lots of online trip planning websites, but sometimes a book is the preferred medium. Books tend to be more comprehensive, can be written on, are compact and can be taken anywhere. My #1 brand is Lonely Planet, followed by Frommer’s. The downside to travel books – they can be quite expensive – for a book.

On a long car ride from Orlando to Miami, we got the idea to try pronouncing some funny Thai phrases we read in our phrasebook. Meant purely as a comedy piece, it became quite popular.
Enjoy.

Hey Explorers,
As promised from yesterday’s post we are ready to debut our adventures in learning to speak Thai. But before we show you the video, we should share a few caveats.

In late January I wrote a post sharing my goals for 2010 for adventureswithben.com. Progress takes time, especially when you’re working a full-time job, but I’m quite pleased with where I’m at to date. One of my goals has been completed (and in the process of being refined), and another is slowly emerging. Let’s start with the latter – networking with other bloggers.

Email This PostWhere do you want to travel? Have you ever thought about it? I think about it all the time. And after talking about it for awhile, I’m finally pleased to share it with you… My Adventure List!
What is an adventure list you may be asking? It’s a compilation of all the places I want to go, and where I’ve been. I’ve found that if you write things down, you can check back on a regular basis and assess your progress. You can plan where you want to go next, and more importantly, save for that trip-of-a-lifetime. It’s a motivator.
