On June 24th I leave for my first trip out of the country. I am traveling to Singapore and Malaysia. I'm excited but nervous at the same time as this is my first overseas trip. But I picked a good place to travel to as the common language in Singapore is English and I have a friend that lives there who will be showing me around.
Below is my itinerary with all flight info so you can keep track of me. The flight path takes us up over Canada and Alaska, then over the Pacific to Japan. I will download pics and thoughts as my trip progresses. Keep me in your prayers. I hope you enjoy the progress of my journey.
