Around the World...

Those who know me well know that I have a burning desire to travel. Some might call it an obsession, all I know is that it keeps me perpetually low on funds. For the past couple of days I have been battling the mother of all colds, and as I sit here breathing only through my mouth, I thought I would dream about possible future travels.

Due to a desire to keep their cultural heritage unchanged as long as possible by outsiders, Bhutan limits tourists to travel in groups directly with certain tour companies. All I know is that if I went I would stay here:

Anyone want to join me? I would need some definite cash-flow first, unfortunately.
