Who knew Cambodia in April would be this wonderful?? If you can stand the heat that is...because holy smokes it is blast furnace hot here. Not that I wasn't warned by countless guide books and internet sites, travel in April was highly NOT recommended. Therefore, I go. That's me, always going against the grain. Since I had already acclimatized my Canadian self in Borneo, I questioned just how m ... read more

This Canadian girl's passion for travel comes from my adventurous parents. My brother and I spent most of our youth traveling all over North America in the family’s camper van, airplane, and boat - going as far west as the Hawaiian islands, as far north as Tuktoyaktuk, and as far south as Mexico doing lots of adventurous stuff...canoeing, surfing, fishing, camping, hiking, skiing, exploring, jellyfish poking...it was the best childhood ever! That same adventurous spirit fueled my travel passion for over 30 years. I’ve been all over the shop. Now that I'm newly retired, I split my lif... full info

Fabulous blog of the Foibles of Group Travel, Andrea. Your group reminded me of 3 dogs I saw in Siem Reap tugging at a rag and getting nowhere while the dedicated went about their business of having a good time. Gotta say we travel to have a good time and those with agendas we prefer to leave behind. Wow did you pack a lot of highlights in your days...and nights. The hottest day of the year...kinda appropriate don't you think?

Here for a good time, not a long time
Yes, it was a whirlwind trip. I wished I had time to slow down and dance a bit. Maybe next trip. Cheers!

Angkor - will go back there one day
I went to Cambodia many years ago. I liked it and I'd like to go back and see it all again. But I am also afraid that I might not like it now. I am afraid that it might have changed a lot and not necessarily for the better. Well, I am happy that you went there and got to see it. It is a fantastic place. /Ake Ps It is a damned pity that REM has quit playing together. I liked them and saw at least three concerts wit them./A

Oh yes I think you would be disappointed Ake. It is a circus there. I only wish I'd seen some places earlier in my life before tourism ruined them. Still worth it though. So spectacular!
