2013 Travel plans

Last year at this time I was traveling through Asia.

I traveled to Singapore, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, China and Hong Kong.

I had not been back since a 100 day trip in College with one of my best friends,  

it was just as amazing and eye opening as an adult.

It was followed by a wonderful trip this summer all across Ireland, ending in Dublin for the Navy/Notre Dame Football game... (Go Navy)

Where to in 2013?

Im trying to decide...

 Maybe India Again?

The Seagaia Ocean Dome was the world's largest indoor water park in Japan. It was officially closed in 2007. The dome measured roughly 1000 feet in length and 350 feet in width. The Ocean Dome featured a fake flame-spitting volcano, artificial sand and the world's largest retractable roof, which provided a permanently blue sky even on a rainy day. The air temperature was always held at around 86 degrees Fahrenheit and the water at around 82 degrees Fahrenheit^.
