Kristin's Travel Do

I decided to donate my hair before the trip. It is probably the shortest it has ever been and a lot lighter! I donated it to Locks of Love which is an organization that makes wigs for people fighting various diseases that cause hair loss. This is my third donation. It should be a lot easier to manage during the trip.

Vaccines!

We got our Vaccines today, and we wanted to do a test to see if the followers button we told all of you would keep you up to date.....well, whether it actually works.

From November 4, to around Feb. 22, we will be in South East Asia, and have no set plan. We will likely visit Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, and Malaysia.
