Curl, I really am digging the fact you brought your laptop this time. The more frequent updates rule. The more you travel, the more potential your blog has to becoming the eighth world wonder. How is the General Tso's chicken? Take care brother.

Wow. Just wow.
Unbelievable pictures. Everything was absolutely beautiful. It's great you're getting to experience all this, see the world. A little different from East Tennessee and South America, huh? Anyway, keep up the great pics and blogs, I love it. Have a safe trip to Nam and a great time.

How awesome!
Jeremy, I'm glad that you are getting to experience all of this. I just watched "My Name is Earl" tonight, and to read your blog, puts me to shame. Mia and Sean say hello! Stay safe, and PLEASE let us know how your "mystery woman" turns out in Vietnam. Hopefully, she is legit.
