...and away we go!
 

I'm pleased to be finally able to say: we leave tomorrow night for our long-in-the-works trip to BKK, Luang Prabang, Hanoi and Hong Kong!

The in-laws have been traveling all over SE Asia for the last 2 weeks and will be meeting up with us in LP and then joining us for the rest of our trip.

..and David and I depart LAX tomorrow night--it's beyond exciting to say the least! Glad to have some downtime in BKK first--and to be finally staying at the Pen after hearing so much about it for so long. Wish we were there for longer, but thrilled that we're going to get to see a new part of SE Asia this time--and hopefully experience all that awe and wonderment all over again this time.

Needless to say, many thanks go out to all of you who have, yet again, helped us in more ways than you'll know getting this trip together and making it so unbelievably easy.

We'll be blogging the trip again, so if anyone wants to be added to the the list, just drop me a line at:
[email protected]
and I'll add you to it before we head out.

Probably will not be posting on here while we're gone, but looking forward to sharing hopefully many wonderful tales upon our return in just over 2 weeks!

Thanks again to you all!

Will-
Have an excellent trip! Looking forward to hearing about it all.
I leave in 3 weeks myself for (only) a week in Bangkok and Siem Reap!

Have fun, Bill and David!
I hope to hear all about it in person at the Chambers Hotel Bar in Mpls sometime soon!
Safe travels!

Enjoy yourselves!

Enjoy, enjoy , enjoy you guys! I can't wait to read your reports especially on Hanoi.

Aloha!

I'll gladly add my wishes for a safe and lovely journey to SEAsia once again. I hope you enjoy the Pen as much as many of us on this forum already do.

Looking forward to your report.

Have a great trip. As always, I look forward to your report. Keep in mind that the Panda is waiting to access a penalty if you delay.

Have a great time! Be safe. Happy Travels!

Pandas do not access penalties, they assess them.

Have a great time. Perhaps our paths will cross in BKK or LP. We leave the 16th, arrive BKK the 17th.
