I almost forgot about this: I met the owner of SEAtours a couple weeks ago (that's right, Eddie's boss). She's an amazing lady, who apparently at over 60 still skis. Anyhoo, through her I found out that AMA Waterways, which does some very luxe river tours in Europe, have now started a cruise from Ho Chi Minh City to Siem Reap. They use a newly built river boat (I think the smallest cabin is like 360 square feet) that takes eight days to get from the delta to Angkor.

You can get more details at AMA's web site:

Or I'm sure you can ask Eddie, since SEAtours is the Thai agent.

Looks really nice. I'll start saving.

You've met Eddie's boss! Have you ever met Eddie?

I've been doing business with him for years and have never met him.

By the time I realized I was where Eddie worked, he was gone. This was an after hours function. The boss does know Eddie is a gem.

Come to think of it, one of the jokes at the meeting was how the new airport link (the 'local' extension) dead-ends right at the building where SEAtours has their office.
