Alas, You have found the website of Tim Lyons!
Between July 1998 and October 1999, I had the opportunity to travel around South East Asia twice. I made it to Indonesia-just after President Suharto stepped down, to the Philippines-near where my great uncle fought in WW II, to Vietnam-my number 1 destination choice for years, to Cambodia-to see a country coming out of war, and to Thailand-where my trip ended.
Fresh out of the Peace Corps and after a 2-day stop in Guam, I headed off for the Philippines. Before going there, I really did not know much about our countries' shared histories and their close ties. It was a real life history lesson. I only have 2 pictures to post now, but the second one is near where my great uncle fought in WW II.

After a year in the Peace Corps, I took a 6-week trip around parts of Indonesia. This was my first big international trip, and I found Indonesia to be the most exotic place that I have visited so far.
