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

Escape from the steaming heat of Saigon to the cool highlands around Dalat

Hi,
Had a great time in Dalat, Vietnam. It was a perfect place to explore the cooler highlands, and retreat from the steaming heat of Saigon. Man, my energy level went way up with the cooler temps (20-25c).

I'm at a beach-town on the coast right now(Nga Trang), and spent the past couple days swimming, snorkeling, taking a boat tour of some nearby islands, and just relaxing on the beach. Off tomorrow to Hoi Ann, an ancient city on the coast.

Meeting lots of Vietnamese folks who now live in the US, who escaped the chaos of post war Vietnam in the late 1970's, and are now returning to visit relatives and their hometowns. Pretty amazing stories.

Cheers,
Dave
