With my time at work coming to a close I have been more attentive to the planning of my journey.
I will remain at my position at the park district until a new person is hired and trained. I will be working Mon-Wed for the next month.
My goal of leaving on 11/11/11 came surprisingly close.
I am unsure how long I want to travel for and if I should extend my journey to multiple places. The plan which looks most secure is to wander Thailand for a month and then return to my apartment in Urbana.
