As we start planning our next trip (seriously we've already started), I thought I would share a quick update on the country count. With the new countries from this trip, Katy has now been to 34 countries and my count sits at 33. The three countries on this trip, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand, were all new... Continue Reading →
A close up look at Dr. Fish…
As promised in an earlier post, here's a look at our visit to Dr. Fish in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Eddie, thanks for joining us.
We’re home and the pictures are up.
As usual, it's a bit of a shock to be home, and not just because we left +35 C to arrive to -12 C. One minute you're sitting on a beach trying to remember a few words of Thai and the next you're back at your desk in your office wondering whether you were really... Continue Reading →

(The fact that we had already seen them in Hoi An was actually just the result of fortuitous timing as we... Continue Reading →
Taking a longtail to paradise.
(I have to admit, I haven't quite been able to keep up with these posts as we go, the more detail oriented reader may have noticed my struggles with past vs. present tense.

Racing through Bangkok… Taxi free.
Our second Day in Bangkok was my only full day, Katy having been before. So, we decided to tick off most of the Bangkok highlights in one high speed tour. In the morning we headed out on a tour with a local guide and a few others from our group. Fortunately, given the previous evening's... Continue Reading →
