SE Asia Bound! New Zealand Bound!

Tomorrow, January 19, Jennifer and I leave the muggy harbor of Cairns and head north of the equator to Bangkok, Thailand for a week of urban relaxation and excess, and then, from there, we head off for three weeks in Vietnam.  Our Vietnam visit coincides with Tet, the new year celebration, and we will be spending a week in Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) before flying north to Ha Noi, and then taking trains and buses down the 1700 km length of the world's 13th most populous country.

After our trip north, we return briefly to Cairns to make sure everything is OK with our boat, and then we spend three weeks in a camper van touring the North and South Islands of New Zealand.

We'll post when we can; we're traveling light and will be in remote places, so please bear with us.

Hope all are well back home -- cards and letters from our friends are always welcome!

Bangkok, I was there last october. This sounds as a holiday within a three year holiday. Enjoy south-east Asia and Oceania.

Every time you tell us about your itinerary it reminds me that with three years and the flexibility of various forms of travel is it only possible to scratch this surface of this wide wonderful world.
