We’re back at the Thang Long Hotel, which has Ethernet wired into the rooms, which works nicely. I’ve posted about 50 of so photos online now – see here for direct link, since the photos on the blog don’t seem to be updating correctly. Will post a few more entries later – we’re relaxing after [...]
Things here are quite different, when it comes to driving. Given that the roads are shared by people, bikes, motorbikes, cars and trucks, it can seem a bit chaotic… but it seems to be quite stable, and people get where they are going – provided they follow the rules of the road: Use the horn [...]
We’re not dead, just offline. Earthquake in Taiwan coupled with being on the road most of the day means no Internet access, so posts will be few ad far between. I’ve also been unable to upload photos – getting text through has been hard enough.
It’s been an Interesting Christmas – as much as I figured I’d be able to escape the music, lights, etc… that hasn’t been the case at all! Christmas is alive and well here – signs, lights, music, etc… about the only thing really missing are huge crowds and shopping. I find it slightly amusing that [...]
Quick recap of our 1st full day in Ho Chi Minh city (aka, Saigon): Karen woke us up at 9pm… thinking it was 9am. She appeared at the door all dressed up and ready to go … not realizing it was pitch black out, and she had only slept 2 hours, and not 14. Ordering [...]

Unfortunately, someone passed our during the flight, and needed oxygen for the remainder of the flight. So he was offloaded in Alaska, [...]
Gotta love backpacks for carry on… if you keep it on, no-one asks questions about size/weight/etc… so my 22 pound spineshrinker make it through without a 2nd glance
Last minute packing and bag weighing has begun. Nearly bought a 2.0x Lens multiplier, but it doesn’t work with my zoom lens – apparently only L glass users can make use of it. As I didn’t want to drop $1500 on a new lens, I only grabbed a spare battery and a Monopod/Hiking stick
Just finishing up preparing the blog for our vacation – updating various WordPress plugins, and including the Flickr Gallery. I bought FlickrExport for Aperture a few minutes ago, so I’ll be exporting direct from Aperture to Flickr for this trip. I’m trying to streamline the upload/posting process a bit, as I don’t expect to have [...]
Hmm… what to do, what to do…
