Hi Flinkman,
I guess you are on the road if your plans have worked out. Hope you have a great trip. Ours is up through Africa in Jan 2012, and over to Jordan, Syria, then east to end up in Singapore. How do you think the monsoons will be for you at that time of the year? It is encouraging to hear that Thailand and that area is negotiable.

Best of luck for the trip.
