ALMOST ON OUR WAY...

So, today, we have travelled by car, then by bus….and by train – and we haven’t left the Seattle Airport yet.  We had an easy drive down and an easy check in.  We learned that the plane is full and lots of children.  Aren’t we lucky.  

 

As I  look around the waiting area – I can see that it is true – there are lots of kids from babies up.  We’ll see how it goes.  I think Diana and I have a bulk head seat so we may be a little more comfortable…At the moment it is cloudy and a bit cooler than the preceding days.  Probably the last time we can say that….  

 

Our flight is on time and we are set to board in 35 minutes.  Then 11 hours and 20 minutes later we will have 2 hours to catch our next flight of 4 hours and 35 minutes.  If we survive that, I will write again!

 

Cheers….

 

NEW ADVENTURE STARTING JULY 31, 2013

 

My friend Diana Townley and I have been friends for 40+ years and we are going on a land and river cruise on the Mekong River.  We will be visiting Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand and even a day trip into Seoul, Korea.  It will be amazing for sure. 

We leave on Wednesday, July 31 and travel for a total of 11 hours and 20 minute to Seoul, Korea and then after a 2 hour layover, we travel a further 4 hours and 35 minutes to Hanoi, Vietnam.  We travel on land and a short airplane hop until we reach Siem Reap, Cambodia August 6th - when we board the Viking RV Indochina.  We will cruise down the Mekong River until the 13th of August when we disembark in Ho Chi Min City and do some city tours - lots to see.  Then we fly to Bangkok, Thailand for 3 nights.  Then on our way home, we have a 12 hour layover in Seoul so we have book a city tour before the 11 hours or so home to Canada.

Here is a sample of the things we will see.  (click here) Itinerary

Wow - if we do all that, we will be needing to come home for a rest!  So if you want, follow along with us and let's see what each day will bring!
