Hello everybody,

this is going to be our travel report for our newest adventure:

Thailand-Cambodia-Vietnam

Some FAQs first:

• Why are we going there? Vietnam was the country Steve wanted us to meet last year - we will take him with us in our hearts.

• Why do we write a travel report? Well there were lots of :"Oh my god - with the kids?" and "Really all the three of you?" Since we don't exactly know where we will be when and I want to be without my cell and the time of writing postcards is over .... I want to give everybody "concerned" or "interested" the chance to follow our footprints we'll leave in the internet cafes.

• Why is the report in English? Since we have English speaking family and friends English will be understood by everybody. Robin and Megan will be writing too as well and as best as they can.

• How will we travel? The plan is that we will take whatever moves: TukTuk, train, bus, boat, taxi, bike, the bamboo train or even an elephant. But who knows what else we will find.

• What are the travel dates? We'll be leaving on July 8th and will stay till August 16th.

So, by now time is getting tight - we still need to pack. We'll just take as little as possible - packs are heavy and it will be hot - so Megan will carry a day pack, Robin a hiking backpack and I will carry the big one. The medicine bag will be the biggest item and hopefully it will be as full at the end of the trip. ;-)
