Well, I have finally uploaded all my photos from my 5 week solo trip in Laos, Vietnam and Thailand that began on Oct. 29th. I haven't labeled all of them but I did label the ones that I thought might require some explanation.

The first three albums on the page are of my trip.

This was the most incredible trip I have ever taken!

I took squillions of pictures of the children in the remote village I stayed at in Laos so skim over those if they bore you. I find the children to be absolutely beautiful and so well behaved!

I didn't take many of the tourist sites in Bangkok during this last trip. If you want to see my photos from my Thailand trip in Feb. of this year just scroll down a bit to that photo album.

I hope you enjoy seeing these countries through my eyes.

Cheers!

You forgot to post the link.

Oops! Thanks!

The pictures were incredible-can't wait to go next October and see all this up close and personal-Chris

Great pics!! We're off to Thailand again Feb. Looking at your pics has just raised the excitement level.

Nice photos, Tamara, thanks for posting them!

Great pictures! Any chance of a report?

Chris, I am sure you will have a wonderful trip!

Kim, I will definitely post a report at some point. Since my return I have been busy gearing up for the holidays, catching up with my business and then out of town again.

I promise to report soon!

Great pics Tamara!!

Laos looks especially magnficient. I kind of wish we were going there in addition to Vietnam.

Hi, I love your terrific photo's.Have you had photography lessons! I have been to Thailand 5 times (Bangkok & Phuket) but have not seen the great things you have seen.How did you know were to go? Did you have an Itinerary? Thanks for showing them to us. Regards Vicki

Thanks for putting up the pictures. We're headed to Thailand in Feb. Starting to get excited now

Tara - I really enjoyed your pictures! You got some really nice shots. Thanks for posting. Loved the one of you on the motorbike in Vietnam. Looked like you were having a great time. Will definitely have to give that a try!

Great photos, Tamara - I look forward to your report.

Thanks everyone! Glad you enjoyed the photos.

Julies, I loved Laos, more even than Thailand. The people are incredible and it is such a gorgeous country!

Vicki, no photography lessons but I definitely am a hobbyist! As for how I decided where to go, I do countless hours of research on the web and read everything I can get my hands on in order to design the most incredible experience possible. I read every posting on travel forums and figure out which posters are most like me and follow their lead.

Sometimes I have a set itinerary and other times I go with the flow. it all depends on if I feel flying by the seat of my pants will work well. On this last trip I had a very rough itinerary. I followed part of it and other parts of it changed dramatically!

Sharon, you are sure to have a great time!

Karen, motorbiking is the way to go in Sapa! I am really sorry it didn't work out that we could go to the show together back in Feb. It was nice to meet you, albeit briefly! Maybe our paths will cross again some day.
