Last Minute as always...Happy Birthday Chichi!!!!

Pants, cameras and chargers, tapes, books, money, drawing book, oh yes...and passport.
A few more hours to go and i am still looking for my rucksack around the house...no clothes at all, just pants...the rest will be purchased on arrival.
Shame cause it's Chichi's bday and we both rush to pack. A few weeks ago, i was planning to have everything ready by yesterday...but as always...last minute!
A sip of wine...Happy Birthday Chichi!!!

So far away but so close now

The radio has started playing Christmas songs, London town is decorated with festive lights and Santas, all over the shop windows, are welcoming the rushed shoppers.
Yes, it's December, Christmas is a coming but Kim and me will be not be here this time...sorry Santa, we will be traveling to Indochina!

15 nights to go, Saturday evening and we are both with a laptop each, side by side, researching for the remote village, the minority tribe, the English speaking retreat and the historical event.

From Saigon all the way to Hanoi. A quick nip to Halong Bay, north to the the Yunnan borders, off to Vientiane, a few days meditation at a Buddhist monastery followed by a long journey through the Mekong river to Angkor and all the way down to the Mekong delta.
All on paper nothing on stone!

Will both try to keep this space alive. By the time we set off, we will be updating with more information. Let's call this a quick introduction. Back to researching now!
