My current travel adventure is 3 months of travelling in Vietnam and Thailand during 2019. I'll explore some new places as well as return to some of my favorites. The itinerary is pretty flexible, so all options are open.

My previous adventures included:

2013 - 6 months in Nepal, India, Malaysia, Burma, Thailand and the Philippines

2010 - 3 months travelling through all 7 countries in Central America, including Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama

2008 - 4 month in SE Asia, including Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia

Hope you enjoy

Dave is in Luang Prabang, Laos

Hi,

Just a quick update...

I'm currently in Luang Prabang, Laos. Laos is less developed than Thailand, and really quite amazing. I took the 2 day Slow Boat down the Mekong Rive. It was a bit "uncomfortable" with wooden benches. Bought a cushion to sit on. But the scenery made it all worthwhile. Lots of fishermen, little villages, and kids playing of the sandy banks. The Mekong River is 5000 km long and winds it's way from Nepal, China, Laos, Cambodia, and finally into Vietnam. We stopped at a tiny village for the night, and I slept like a log.

Heading to Vientiane tomorrow (10 hours by bus). I booked the "VIP luxury bus". Hopefully it will be a lot more comfortable than the local chicken buses.

Glad to hear it's been cold in Calgary. The only thing cold here is the icy beers while sitting at riverfront cafes. Ha Ha.

Cheers,
Dave
