We're getting ready to go: planning, packing (carry on luggage only!), washing, organizing (not necessarily in that order). We purchased a camera that we hope will survive the journey. It's water proof (good for monsoons), dust proof (good for the big cities - Bangkok, Phnom Penh), and sand proof (good for the beach!). We're hoping to be able to update this blog and upload pictures every few days. Stay tuned!
Tomorrow, we're off to Bangkok. We'll be there for about 3 or 4 days, getting over our jet-lag, visiting sites, eating yummy food, and plunging into culture shock, maybe in the back of a tuk-tuk, with smiles spread wide across our faces!
Gotta go pack!!
Love,
Polly and Stephane

Excellent.. will keep up with the blog! I didn't know you were going to Laos. I would recommend checking out Buddha Park just outside Vientiane. I also really enjoyed Vien Viang, tubing down the river was a big relief from the dirty air and heat in the capital (although I have heard that it has since become over run by tourists. There was also this fantastic swimming hole that Pauline and Roger knew about... we swam into a cave, the water was cold and clear and blue, it was the best part of my trip. Have a blast and safe travels!!! Britt

Kudos for buying carbon offsets from Planetair! For others who might be interested, the website is Planetair.ca, and it's recommended by the Suzuki Foundation.
I'm sure you'll have lots of adventures!
