Jodi and Chris take care, I hope that you are in the land of lovely buses, good fun and drink soon. Everytime I read Hangry I laugh and laugh… I am so stealing that.
Travel Safe!

PS I was just teaching Danilo about Asian animals starting with Pandas – we are looking forward to some pictures He will be so excited when you get to Africa – sometimes he just takes his african animals out to play.
Miss you!

I have to say, now that I’m home I miss the day to day adventure and excitement that RTW travel brings, but I don’t miss the bus rides! I was telling my dental hygienist yesterday that I had just finished traveling the world, and she asked if I took tours everywhere I went. When I explained that it was too expensive/uninteresting, and that we normally took public buses, she was shocked. “I wouldn’t even know how to take a public bus in Albuquerque!” she exclaimed.

Wow – that is quite the journey! I’ve been researching on how to travel from Luang Pranang, Laos to Vietnam overland and haven’t found a good route. I’ve kind of been thinking of flying from LP to Hanoi or heading down to Vientiene and flying from there. You’re story pretty much cements it for me! Good luck as you continue!!
