The Top 10 Street Markets, Bazaars and Souks in the World

Exploring street markets can be the highlight of any destination and I’ve been lucky enough to explore my fair share from around the world.  The following are my top ten favorites and they span the globe from South East Asia to Africa to the Middle East and Australia.  Have you been to a market that [...]

Last Day in Saigon

Today we finally had the chance to sleep late so we didn’t get up until 10:15am, despite cats having a brawl outside of the window around 7:30.  Saigon has some really odd city sounds.  I packed my luggage but still had to get another suitcase to carry all of my purchases that were still in [...]

Angkor Wat and Return to Saigon

We woke up today at around 8:30am, which was sleeping pretty late considering we had been getting up at of before 7am most days.  I showered in the glass shower (think carnival money machine) and got ready.  It’s worthwhile to note that I did attempt to do something with my hair each morning, and this [...]

Let the Cambodian massages begin!

Today we got up at 6:35am for the 8am bus to Phnom Penh..  Actually it was more like 6:40am because I just reached over and shut off the alarm clock.  But we got ready, and I had mostly packed from the night before, and then we went downstairs to ‘check out.’  They are holding the [...]

Cu Chi Tunnels

I woke up at 7am with the alarm and we both got ready to leave by about 7:30, for the 7:45 bus.  I’m thinking the next time we can sleep late, and it’s at least Friday.  Oh well, didn’t come on this vacation to sleep!  Anyways, we stopped to get some oreos and ritz crackers [...]

Day of Contrasts

I woke up before the alarm this morning and started getting ready.  The alarm went off at 6:45 and we were out the door by about 7:05.  I was pretty hungry actually and was craving bread or something like that – it feels like I’ve only eaten meat since getting here.  I figured because the [...]

I ate ostrich!

My eyes popped open at about 6:30am this morning, which I was pretty annoyed by. I didn’t want to wake up Dave so I just found a book and started reading. I don’t know how he knew, but he woke up then and essentially let me know that book reading on vacation was unacceptable. Hm. [...]

Um, so I guess it’s Thursday now

We landed in HK around 5:30pm local time and wow what a view.  It’s just how it looks in the pictures, of course, with all of the skyscrapers and the mountains surrounding the city.  Just beautiful, even though it’s a pretty gray day.  We all made it off of the plane pretty quickly and there [...]
