It started in Bangkok, a year and a half ago – just after treking in Nepal and visiting Tibet, Thailand and Lao.

Back home in February 2015, the Dr. said “stay off the foot, wear the brace, loose weight”.

I waited to solo travel for over a year for it to heal.  Took a month long roadtrip in March/April 2016 to the US southwest to test the foot in sandals, as I live with only two pair of shoes when on walkabouts and there is lots of walking.

All is good.  No problems. But I seroiusly worried before departure.

I have not even had a minimal bout of foot pain or………..politely now….”travelers sickness” to write about.

Boring.

No maladies, no hospital visits, no colds, no pneumonia, etc.

Onward.
