January 31, 2005Angkor WatAngkor Wat is Cambodia and Cambodia is Angkor Wat. The Angkor silhouette is everywhere in this country: on soldiers’ uniforms, on the flag and of course on every tourist’s T-shirt including Amie’s and mine. It is the jewel in the...Read this update January 28, 2005The Killing FieldsWARNING: this entry has nothing in it about beaches or fun. It's definitely a downer. If you're not interested in such things, try another entry....Read this update January 26, 2005Full Speed AheadAfter 4 days in Sihanoukville, Amie finally convinced me to leave, and without a single property I might add.

Kampot was formerly...Read this update The MassageIn Kampot, the only legit place to get a massage is from the blind masseuses at the Seeing Hands Institute, which offers hour long massages for $3.

We're currently in Ko Chang, which is in the Gulf of Thailand near Cambodia. It's a lovely island, or so I hear. We can't actually see too much of it because it's too cloudy...Read this update January 12, 2005Traveling in StyleMy motto when it comes to travel is “just do it!” but after this 35 hour trip I might be willing to add – if you can, “just do it in style.” We left Portland at 5 pm on Sunday...Read this update January 09, 2005We're off!After months of waiting the time has come and we're finally off. Next stop Bangkok . . ....Read this update January 06, 2005A tale of two homesMy wife always gives me grief when I refer to Ireland as home because she feels my home is in Oregon with her. This is true and I do consider Portland to be my home, but I am blessed with...Read this update |
