​I have been blogging for about two years. In that time, I’ve come to a regular schedule of publishing a blog every Thursday. No matter what. Except last week. So what happened? Well, nothing really. Just everything else got in the way. So here’s a list of everything else I was doing when I could have been blogging.

Planning for an upcoming trip

In a few more months we are visiting southeast Laos and Cambodia. I am beyond excited. I have all of our reservations made, so now I’m down to planning little things. Mostly this means shopping at resale shops for clothes that are culturally appropriate and still cool enough for the hot weather.

I found linen pants for my husband and two pairs for me for only $10, plus we scored an ebag’s Motherlode convertible backpack in perfect condition except for missing a shoulder strap for $10. If you don’t shop secondhand I highly recommend it.

I also will have an opportunity to do some really cool things on this trip and I want to write about them. I’ve only done a little travel writing before, so I’ve been researching more about what I might write and who may be interested in the type of stories I have to tell.
