So, it's official! The big, out-of-the-country, backpacking trip in 2011 is going to be: VIETNAM. I am beyond excited about it. That pretty little green country is going to be my home for two weeks at the beginning of September. :)
A lot of people that I've told have given me a weird look and said, "Vietnam?!? ....why? Are you crazy?" and a couple of things come to mind. Number one: the Vietnam War has been over for 45 years. Number two: to quote something great I just heard, "I'd much prefer to always have amazing things happen to me rather than mundane realistic bullshit." And number three: just take a LOOK at this place:
Don't have much planned yet as far as route and what we are going to do (besides Halong Bay. That is a must), but I'll of course update here with everything leading up to the trip. :))
All I can guarantee is that I WILL be bringing a conical hat home.

I am so excited to read along as you travel. This will be an incredible experience. I have only been out of the country once, to Jamaica when I was 16, and I envy your ability to travel the way you do. I know you, more than most people, will appreciate the beautiful nature of this country, without fancy resorts and a wait staff.
Wow! Very cool!! I'm excited to read about your experience, and maybe one day I'll make it there too. =)
I have been following you on flickr for awhile now (I fell in love with Grady a few years back!). I was MIA from the flickr scene for awhile, but have renewed my dedication to photography. I look forward to seeing some more of those amazing photos of yours!
