Why "Fiona's Lasso of Truth"?

I chose the title for this blog when I was looking for an appropriate totem, something to represent the mojo I'm channeling to make the big move to Bangkok in 10 days.   Since my heroine, Wonder Woman, is "beautiful as Aphrodite, wise as Athena, as strong as Hercules, and as swift as Hermes," her iconic tool, the lasso of truth, came to mind.


And what good would a travel blog be if I myself did not feel a compulsion to tell the truth?  

 Right now, the truth is that the logistics are overwhelming (deciding what to pack, getting a credit card that doesn't charge foreign transaction fees, realizing that Google Maps won't let me save a map of Bangkok for offline use, etc. etc.).

 But the prospect of teaching in Bangkok is mega mondo exciting, too.  

 Best always,

 Fiona
