CAMBODIA RULES! You didn't go to the top of Angkor Wat?!?! Are you serious? They had chocolate, full body massages and the best tailors in Asia up there! And all of it free! (There's gotta be some incentive for climbing up those dangerous steps, right?) If I can remember correctly, I even won the lottery for the free tuk-tuk that they give away every hour. It was AWESOME! YOU TOTALLY MISSED OUT!
Greetings from Carson City, NV, USA. Maeve's in DC. I'm driving back to Chicago next week.
Cheers,
Justin
Mate you need to eat more!! Lucy you look like your fading away! You look like you have lost loads of weight.
They are some great pictures of the sunsets and sunrises. The temples look cool.
Not sure about those tunnels, I think I would have been straight back out with you!

Happy New Year!! Sounds like you had a great christmas. The spa looked very nice and relaxing. My christmas was good, we had the kids Christmas day which was excellent. I cooked and guess what....I ate turkey!! I couldnt be arsed faffying around cooking something veggie for me and there was no room in the oven!! It was very yummy even if I do say so myself!
New year we went over to Karl's sisters which was very nice, quite tame though. I look forward to your tales of your new year!

Mui Ne Hello,
Enjoying your writing of 'Nam. I Am visiting in late February, and would
be interested to know the name of the place you stayed at in Mui Ne.
Safe travels.

Happy New Year from Maui Thank God for the Adventures of Lucy Adkins. It is the perfect remedy for the dull life I have had on Maui since my return from Thailand. Anyway, at least, thanks to you, I can be an arm-chair adventurer. ...thanks to your adventurous spirit and your captivating prose. How lucky I was to spend just two days with (if you will pardon the expression) the fantastic four of Southeast Asia. Happy New Year to Lucy, Tina, Emily and Kelly. You put American girls to shame. Aloha.
Thank Goodness You have found the sun! We are in Sapa at the moment freezing our wotsits off! We are making our way down south tomorrow so we hope to get some rays too. Lets hope that the rain has gone from Hue, although I somehow doubt it! Sounds like your all having a great time. Happy New Year
Snakes Those snakes look proper nasty. I couldnt have eaten in there with those watching me, but i guess needs must. Get you the dare devil water tyres and kayaking, you go girl. Hope you are loving the warmer weather and have an excellent xmas.

Well after years dreaming about it, 12 months planning it, some hardcore saving and numerous immunisations, the time has now come for me to embark on my trip of a lifetime, kicking off the South East Asian leg of my adventure with Bangkok on November the 9th.
Feel free to leave any comments and in return I will keep you updated with my travel stories and pictures. Enjoy!
