This guest post was written by Stephanie Long. From the top of the hill, Mai Chao looks like the Vietnam I’ve always imagined: rice paddies and small huts, nestled in a valley in the midst of sharp mountains. After a chaotic week in Hanoi, I was craving a trip to rural Vietnam. Too short on [...]

The wedding is quickly approaching. With so much to do and so little time left, I’ve been hard-pressed to find time to blog. I’ve been trying to work ahead to get some posts ready for the seven weeks that we are on the road. Whenever people find out that I have a blog, the first question [...]

This photo was taken just before sunset in Halong Bay, Vietnam. We had just dropped anchor for the evening to spend our first night on a traditional junk boat. Obviously, I’ve had a bit of photo-processing fun with this image. I’ve inverted some of the colors to make it look more like a painting. What [...]

A magical travel moment: A pure beam of white light appeared before our eyes in the dim darkness of Hang Sung Sot, a vast mountain cave that winds its way through a few immense chambers before exiting out onto a narrow walkway that lends an unprecedented view of Halong Bay.

April mornings in Cambodia get hot really fast. We were standing on a dusty road in Cambodia waiting for our hired car to arrive and take us from Sihanoukville to the Chau Doc border crossing at Kaam Samnor, Cambodia/Ving Xuong, Vietnam on the Mekong River.
