Welcome

Welcome everyone!!!  My name is Cush and as you may already know, this is "A Hop, Skip and a Jump".  The inspiration for creating this blog came when I decided I wanted to be able to share my experiences with friends and family while my fiance' (Rachel) and I are living in Thailand.  That's right, you read it correctly, Thailand.

This is a trip I have been planning for almost three years now and as of this week things are beginning to fall into place.  We will be leaving Monday around 6:00AM for Washington D.C. to submit our applications for work visas.  Let me go ahead and say that if you plan on getting a work visa allow yourself at least three months in preparation before you depart.  Sometimes the lines of communication are difficult to travel and this is not one of those things you want to leave until the last minute. 

With this blog I hope to share my experiences, my insights and if there is anything you wish to discuss I am always open to suggestions.  This is the beginning of what I hope to be a very fun and successful relationship whether you are friends, family or someone who just stumbled across my blog (and if I don't know you that won't stop us from becoming friends).

Well that's all I have for now, but be sure to check back periodically for updates.  Take care everyone and have a safe weekend. 

Cheers,
    Cush
