In one of the easiest decisions we've ever made, we have decided to
change our flight plans and head out to Laos a couple of days early. I
don't mean to be too hard on poor Hanoi, but it just really isn't our
scene. Ha Long Bay was pretty cool however ... Read more >

After a brief but fun 48 hour stop-over in S. Korea (where we went to a coffee shop and had our feet nibbled by fish - Weeds-style), we are finally in the 'Nam. Despite all of Hannah's extensive research (the woman takes OCD to a whole new "As ... Read more >

OK. So last time we left off, we had climbed down a mountain and encountered the wrath of Buddha. If you thought that Japan was done with us, you were wrong. As everyone keeps telling me, onsens are part of the Japanese experience. You can't go ... Read more >

It all started innocently enough with a trip to Hiroshima to visit my grandmother (the tiniest and cutest little 89yr old woman ever - hence forth referred to as Obaachan). After some fam jam visiting, my Obaachan's next door neighbour (a stately looking ... Read more >
