Kep and Kampot are getting more press
Here's a link to an interesting article in the New York Times about Kep and the surrounding areas. I loved spending 5 days in Kampot and Kep in December--as the article mentions, the area is changing, with new construction (for example, a short portion of multi-lane highway has opened one one side of Kep, and the fast road to Bokor National Park has opened) and some renovated buildings. The signs of destruction under the Khmer Rouge are fading. It's a magical place--go see it now before it changes too much! (And you don't have to spend $200 a night--there are plenty of nice accommodations for around $50).

eks--I did my trip report as a blog this time since I was traveling around the world (4.5 months). Here's the link in case you are interested -- http://aprilaroundtheworld.blogspot.com. The Cambodia postings are from December. I loved Cambodia--maybe the best of all the places we visited on the trip.

Thanks so much! I have my reading cut out for me for this afternoon. Your trip reports have been an inspiration to me, and there has been some (so far only whispered) talk of a trip to the region for next year...
