The Adventure Begins...in 4 days.




I thought I should put something up here since I have already given out the address and some of you might be checking it out already.
We are leaving for Vietnam on wednesday, September 16th and will be spending a month basically aimlessly wandering around the country. We fly into Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) after some un-godly number of travel hours, I'm thinking 20 or so, and we are planning to stay there for a couple of days. After that, the tentative plan is to head south for the Mekong Delta and then take a ride on a fast boat to an island with beautiful white sand beaches and sea snakes (definitely a deterrent for swimming). From there, I think we will start trucking north, most likely via train.
Of course all of that is subject to change...but for now that is the initial general outline.
I do not think that I have quite processed the fact that I am going to Vietnam in 4 days, I don't think that it will really hit me until I board that plane...or maybe not even then, it might have to land there before I'll believe it.
I will keep you all posted as much as possible and try to upload pictures regularly. I would also love to hear what is going on back home, so feel free to share your stories with me as well.
