Locked and loaded

It's almost 1:00am (only 13 hours before I leave), and I just finished packing my backpack. My good friends, Chris, Cindy, Win, Ron and Emmo came over tonight for dinner for Japanese food, and wish me well on my trip. We're walking back to my place in the rain in this picture after grabbing some coffee. All in all, I'm happy I'm going, but not too thrilled about the long flight to Bangkok via Seattle/Seoul, then onward Koh Samui. In the morning, I'm meeting with Ron and Emmo for breakfast, and we'll go to airport together. My parents (bless their souls) are also meeting me at YVR to say goodbye.
