New worries....

Every time I think I'm calming down and beginning to enjoy the anticipation of world travel,  I come up against new travel-associated worries. These moments are often associated with calls from my friend Lisa Grey aka The Travel Voice of Doom who was in Thailand last fall.

Latest issues: 

1.  First Issue: How to deal with the money --which cards will work where and for what purposes? 

Associated Worry--ending up begging behind a wooden bowl on the streets of Bangkok, dressed only in a Gandhi- like loin-cloth. 

2. Second Issue: How to  dial Thai phone numbers which include the symbols for "+" and parentheses? 

Associated worries--enduring disdainful-looks from English -speaking Thai people when I ask them to dial numbers for me or the bewildered looks of non-English speakers who can't imagine why this idiot can't operate a phone.

Three days to go. Is it to early to start the drug therapy?
