The flight went well. It was on time and actually I arrived into Cancun 15 minutes a head of time. Got myself to the bus station, which was easier than I was picturing it. The bus ride to Palenque was LONG!!!! Very very LONG!!! It was 11 hours in total and one of these days [...]

Many Greetings to you from Saigon. A very interesting city indeed. There is quite a bit to do here and always ways for you to spend your money. Oh and not to mention, it's "Same Same But Different." This has to be one of the most common sayings around. The Cao Dai "Holy See" is [...]

The trip from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh took 6 hours by bus. It was not a bad bus ride. There were many beautiful scenes along the way. Although now I am wishing I had taken the boat, there is always the next time, right? Phnom Penh is actually a rather unsightly scene. There are [...]

Many greetings to everyone. I have just finished up my day of ruins. I must admit I am suffering from temple fatigue. But, that is the price you must pay. Tomorrow I am off to the capitol city, Phnom Penh. Over the past few days I have been to see many of the temples of [...]

Well it’s a sad day as my plane touched down at Minneapolis-St. Paul International at 12:35 pm… Which would make it 9:35 pm in Romania….. Jet lag is beginning to set in since I’ve been up since 3:00 am Romania time, 7:30 pm Central Time… Ish….. I am going to have my phone turned back [...]
