Greetings from Vietnam! I have arrived safely and am having an incredible time in this land of distinct tastes, smells, people and landscape.

Thanks for the memories
Hey Johaan, Thanks for the memories! We first traveled to Saigon (aka HCMC) then up the Mekong River system via boat to Cambodia (PP and Angkor Wat) in 2007. We then returned to explore the central highlands, HaNoi and HaLong Bay, and UNESCO site Luang Prahbang, in PDR Lao in 2009. In February 2013, we go to Burma (Myanmar). And unlike you, I do love Pho for breakfast! Thank you for sharing your travel log. I'm so glad I am on your list of recipients. Happy travels, Ann Lippincott

Amazing Asia
Fantastic stuff! Nothing like S.E. Asia and a little snake blood to put things in perspective. Your Dodgers with out Kemp have really come back to earth.
