Some of us still eat crappy store sandwiches and sit behind computers all day. For us who are absolutely strapped to this sort of lifestyle, we gotta live vicariously – so your stories and blog updates are definitely highly anticipated. Looking forward to your trip and I wish you well!

As is typically the case traveling sans bike, I wondered the entire time how the touring would be. My opinion: overall it would great, once you leave the cities like Saigon, which are dangerous to even walk in. Take the coast road up Vietnam…it would make for great riding and interesting towns to ride through. That being said, inland Vietnam and the terrain around towns such as Dalat is very refreshing. Vietnam is changing very fast, at least that’s what we were told and it’s quite obvious when you see all the construction. I think riding in Laos would be fantastic. Very little traffic, remote villages and friendly folks. I’m slowing posting images on my site – http://www.mackieimages.com, including a recent video of the traffic in Saigon.
What ever you do, have fun! I wish I was coming. Oh, I did not see very much camping at all. Lodging is relatively cheap so I’d consider that option as well.
