We did it! We're packing it in and leaving our lives in Victoria ... at least for a little while. We'll be gone for about six months and we plan to visit India, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia and Indonesia. Although we've got our trusty guidebooks in hand, we don't intend to stick to any timelines or itineraries. We're going to go where the wind takes us ... okay, more likely where a third class train ticket takes us.

Laughing our heads off
Hey you two, Could'nt help but chuckle at your Viet Nam street crossing adventure. We had exactly the same experence in May/June while in Saigon and Hanoi. We also found Halong Bay interesting but would rather see Barkley Sound again. The Canadian San Juans have been our cruising destination for many years. Do you ever go to Chemanis (sp) ? We enjoy that destination as well. Stay safe, Jim & Ann in Leavenworth, Wa.
