Almost in Asia....

The Plan: 

Thanks for joining me on my Asian Adventure! The  plan is Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand with the lovely Orna. The rough plan is: fly to Hanoi (North Vietnam) head to Halong Bay for a boat cruise through the islands, trek through the rice fields in Sapa, not sure where next !! Then onto Ho Chi Min city (formally Saigon.) Next we travel up the Mekong river into Cambodia to see phnom pen, some reap and the temples of ankor watt (known as the 8th wonder

Of the world.) Finally we have 2 nights in Bangkok before heading home! 

Preparation: 

I've had all my shots and jabs and vile tasting drinks which allow me travel safely around Asia. Although I must say some of the side effects made me seriously consider chancing getting cholera or typhoid!

 Note for future travellers: spread your vaccinations out as much as possible or ensure you are always close to a bathroom...

Malaria tablets costed a bomb and so does the extra strength jungle spray that will keep the pesky little buggers at bay!! 

My Visa has arrived. Luckily Irish people can avail of a loose leaf (stick on) visa which means you never have to part with your passport. Thank goodness for neutrality! Fairly straight forward to organise through the vietnam website, and the staff there answer all emails within 24 hours! 

Flights are booked and paid for (Dublin via Paris to Hannoi in Vietnam with Air Framce) 

All that's left to do is pack up a bag and go!! Wooo! Mo and Om are off on our Asian Adventure! Xxx
