Welcome to Rob&Amy's most excellent adventure




OK, welcome to Rob & Amy's most excellent adventure -- our 6-week cycling trip through Vietnam. It's currently 3 days before we fly out of Vancouver to go to Vietnam, and I thought I would get a head start on things by setting up our blog. Once we've landed and kickin' back in Ho Chi Minh City, we'll be posting the real goods. For now, we're just boxing up the bikes and getting stoked to head out!
The plan, as it stands from sitting here at my desk in Nelson, BC, is:
  • depart Vangroovy Saturday 20 Feb

  • arrive in Ho Chi Minh (formerly known as Saigon)

  • Part-1 is a 1-week (or so) loop through the Mekong Delta

  • then we head north to Hanoi

  • final destination is Halong Bay

  • then we fly home out of Hanoi, 6 weeks after landing in Ho Chi Minh, which should be April 4th, if all goes according to plan.

So that's the plan...first challenge will be getting out of the Vancouver airport alive in the middle of the olympics. We're packing a nice little netbook on this trip, so the plan is to keep up the blog and post stuff regularly. So hey, add this blog to your favs and check in regularly. We'll keep you posted!
