Yeah, I know, it seems kinda crazy. I'm going to see if I can rearrange the flight out of Ho Chi Minh to leave Hanoi instead and then make my way up the Vietnamese coast instead of down it. I clearly didn't know what I was doing when I booked the flight. Luckily, it can be changed for free once I leave. Regardless of the corkscrew plan, still seems awesome to me...

Hi.

Thanks for visiting my blog.

As most of you know, my name is Randy. I'm from Toronto, Canada.

I've made this blog to keep an ongoing record of my first trip to Asia. My memory is notoriously bad, so hopefully this will help me remember all the cool shit I'll be experiencing on the trip. I hope you enjoy it too. I'll be posting my thoughts, adventures and pictures here.

The plan is to leave on May 6, roughly ten days after I finish my M.B.A. at the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management. I land in Bangkok on May 8, then kick around that city for a few days before heading down to the islands in the south for some diving, sunning, and partying (Fullmoon, Ko Pha-Ngan, May 13, see you there...). Grad school decompression chamber. Back up to Bangkok and some of Central Thailand before flying to Cambodia to check out Angkor Wat for a few days. Then a jump to Hanoi and ten days making my way down the coast of Vietnam. After a few days in Saigon/Ho Chi Minh I'll be heading to Hong Kong to meet up with Stephanie for a few days before we fly back to Toronto together. Pretty cool, yeah? I know, I can't wait.

Feel free to visit often and be sure to comment on any of my posts. Send me your website or blog and I'll add them to my links.

Bon voyage,

Rando*Polo

This is Stephanie. She rocks.
I'll be missing her like crazy and
looking forward to seeing her
in Hong Kong on June 7...
