No shit.
Anyway, I've always wanted to say that. Tomorrow I fly to Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) and the next morning I join a tour that will look at some sites in Ho Chi Minh before heading up the coast to Hoi Ann, Da Nang, Hue and Hanoi, with a stop in Halong Bay.
I've really enjoyed Thailand so I decided to return in May after I get back from Australia and check out Chiang Mai in the north and the beaches in the south. Found a good deal with Thai Air for 3 domestic flights for $199, so I snapped it up and got my tix!
It's been a hectic trip so far. My itineray since I left the states, as best as I can remember and including places I haven't yet visited but intend to, is as follows:
5-Jan-08 Depart Philly For Frankfurt

7-Jan-08 Arrive Goa
26-Jan-08 Arrive Pune
02-Feb-08 Arrive Chennai
2-March-08 Arrive Shanghai
21-March-08 Arrive Bangkok
26-March-08 Arrive Siem Reap, Cambodia
31-March-08 Bus to Phnom Penh, Cambodia
3-April-08 Arrive Bankok
5-April-08 Arrive Ho Chi Minh City
Travel up the coast visit Hoi Ann, DaNang, Hue, Hanoi and Halong Bay. May travel to Sapa in northern Vietnam.
17-April-08 Arrive Ho Chi Minh City
(Vietnam travel: Nha Trang, Hoi An, Hue, Halong Bay, Hanoi, Sapa, the Mekong Delta.)

26-June-08 Arrive Jakarta.
1-July-08 Arrive Hong Kong
6-July-08 Arrive LAX
15-July-08 Arrive Seattle
23-July-08 Arrive Philadelphia
Currently, I have a flight scheduled to take me back to L.A. via Hong Kong on 30-May-08. However, I will be pushing that flight back so I can travel through Indonesia. I want to see the monuments of Prambanan and Borobudur and check out the volcano Gunung Bromo, all on the island of Java. Then I want to go to Bali and learn how to dive (although I might do that in Phuket). Then I plan on spending a few days in Hong Kong before heading back to the States. I arrive in L.A. and will stay there for a bit with friends, then up the west coast, maybe to SF and definitely Portland and Seattle.
You gonna be up for any shows while you're in LA? (This is qsysue)
