Quite a few people followed my progress on my 2005 round-the-world trip on this site, and many of you know I’m about to head out on the road again. I’ve archived my “classic” site here at RTW 2005 in case you want to revisit what I did last time.
This time instead of having a definitely plan of literally circling the globe once, my goals are much more modest. This time I’m heading to Southeast Asia, starting in Hanoi, Vietnam, and then I’ll be bouncing around the area while trying to keep my expenses low. I intend to see most of the main Vietnam highlights, including Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, Hoi An, Nha Trang, Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City), and the Mekong Delta, but that might take anywhere from 3 weeks to 3 months.
After that I intend on heading into Cambodia to visit Siem Reap and the Angkor Wat temples, plus another stop or two, and then on into Laos and then to Thailand. Once in Thailand I might settle down for a while, but it’s all up in the air at this point.
I hope you’ll follow along, and this time you’ll be able to leave angry comments and whatnot below each post, like the “home game” of a 70s game show.
