My Ramblings
Quick non-update update
Sorry for the lack of updates. We have had a lot of busy days, and at night I am too wiped out to do much other than sleep. We are now in Laos for two more days & then heading back to Hanoi. This trip has been amazing and I can't wait to share more with y'all. I have...
Greetings from Quang Ngai
Wow - can't believe it's been almost a week since I left the states. It seems like it's been a lot longer, but that's probably because we have been very busy since leaving Hanoi on Sunday morning. I could write a long narrative describing what we did each day,...
Long travel days are long
Finally made it to Hanoi. We've been here for about 2.5 hours and I'm currently settled in at the Hotel Celia for the night. Tomorrow we get to sleep in a bit and then head out for a tour around Hanoi to give us an overview of the city. Can I just mention that I'm...
Why I am going – Part 2
I had hoped to write a bit more about this yesterday, however packing took me a bit longer than I had planned (*shakes fist at allergies or cold or whatever is causing me to be stuffy and cough*) Long story short - as many of you know I'm involved with People to...
Why I am going – Part 1
As I approach my departure date (tomorrow!!!!), I keep getting asked variations on the following questions: "Is this a vacation?" Kinda. "Are you going on a mission trip?" Yes, but not that kind of mission. "Why are you going there?" Why not? Throughout my life, I...
Where will I be?
I've been trying to figure out how best to show where I'll be visiting during my upcoming trip, so I decided to create a rough map to give an idea of where we will be. Less than two weeks and we're off! View Cambodia, Laos, & Vietnam in a larger map

O HAI
Hey guys. Remember me? Remember this blog?
Well, it turns out that I kinda forgot about it and didn’t really post for awhile. Oops. I guess this is what happens when you are wrapping up being #onhaitus, go on vacation, start a new job, and suffer through approximately 9 months of winter.
Yes, that’s it.
Bring it on, 2013
Happy New Year! I'm going to save everyone from the standard "year in review" post or even a "here are the top 10 songs of the year" post. For the most part. This past year was full of ups and downs (aren't they all really?!) but I'm glad to have had each of the...
