New to forum

Hello All,

     I am new to the forum and I am looking forward to meeting a lot of people; and making many new friends, both here on the forum and on my future trip.

     To introduce myself; I am a single aka divorced and therefore free to wander about the globe!!! American male in his mid 40's.

     Although I have never travelled Asia before it has always been on my wish list. But I have to face the fact that having never been there, I do not know the ins and outs of travelling or living in SE Asia. I have heard many wonderful things about it though!!! Too wonderful as many I have spoken to seem to have decided to stay . Must resist temptation to remain in paradise!!!...

     I will be visiting Thailand in a couple of months for a period of about 3 to 3 1/2 months. As I am an avid history buff, heard Thailand had the best scuba diving, and love the various Asian styles of architecture I will be looking forward to travelling the length and breadth of Thailand; and surely getting in a little visit to Ankor Wat in Cambodia. I am hoping that perhaps I might even have time for a side trip to Xian, or the Great Wall in China!!!

     :rolleyes:Wow, and all this on what I would like to keep a very modest budget. Very ambitious I know God I am such a geek !!!! But a geek with a sense of humor! So please feel free to diabuse me of any overly ambitious   or laughably unreasonable ideas I might have about what is a realistic travel itinerary.

     Like I said before, I look forward to starting this most eagerly awaited adventure!
ps. I will post a picture after I figure out how to.... History geek, yes .. computer literate...ehhh, not so much ...

Thanks for having such a wonderful forum.
