Well, we've been to Thailand, Cambodia, Laos & China this year...hmmm...
We're a military family stationed in Korea, and sadly, we're leaving after 5 years. I will miss reading all of you everyday!
But, fortunately, our next assignment is Heidelberg, Germany! I guess we'll have to switch forums soon.
Thanks for all of the info and inspiration here on the Asia Forum, Fodorites!
We'll stopover for a week in Seward, Alaska, then Chicago, then Rhode Island, then Long Island, then Heidelberg, Germany!! Achtung! Happy Travels to all of you as we leave our hearts in Asia!

July is the green or rainy season. By the way, this site is has an enormous amount of info on Costa Rica. We are going there Monday for our 3rd trip. 2nd trip during the "green season". We choose this season again because it has less people and rain makes everything green, fresh and beautiful. It is typically not monsoon or anything. I think 2-3 summers ago there was an extraordinary amount of rain - as in the entire Caribbean. Some days it doesn't even rain and usually if it does it is just for 1-2 hours at the most. It is also cheaper of course. We are just so hooked on rain forests and the wildlife - we take a poncho and barely even notice or care. That is why the call it a rain forest after all. One great thing in July is the turtles lay their eggs on the beach. You can go out and help the scientists do egg counts, etc. Way fun.

We were wandering around Morocco in a beatup Peugout when this thread started. (hint, never book with Budget.com for a car in Morocco). Anyway, I'd compare Morocco favorably with southeast Asia for the chance to meet and talk local people, so we really enjoyed it.
The next trip, well I guess it's going to be to Australia, but I don't count it as a "trip" trip, as it's mostly to visit family. The next holiday afterwards I thought was going to be probably Peru, maybe Bolivia too. But we've been missing SE Asia.
So the conversations the last couple of days since we got back have been about either Vietnam, Laos or finding some new areas of Cambodia such as Ratanakiri to try out. Not sure which trip we'll take yet!

Hi everybody - I am new to the Asia board. We are in the beginning stages of planning a trip to SE Asia in mid 2008. I am really excited. I've been to Japan twice for work, but other than that, I haven't been anywhere in Asia. But my husband and I have been invited by a friend to come to Singapore, so we are planning a trip that will also coincide with my completion of graduate school. Yay.
Anyway, just wanted to say hello I have been reading the board for a couple weeks now and find it very good.

Welcome to the Asia forum. I think you will find that the advice on this board is very well intended. People who post here and often very frequent travelers to Asia and are very willing to share their experiences.
Let us know where else you plan to visit in SE Asia. We probably have folks here who've "been there, done that" and would like to tell you about it.

I'ver been doing 1-2 trips to asia per year for the past 7 years, with other areas of the world mixed in.

After 3 years in a row to Thailand, dh felt it was not a good move to keep repeating. ( I'm in a sad state as I would like nothing better than to return)
So for Nov we will be a month in Florida and Jan/Feb will be in Hawaii.
Now how can a person be not too happy to be going to Hawaii for a month??? I'll tell you why, they have been bitten by the Thai bug.

Didn't even think that short US trips counted... we are currently at Lake Tahoe CA for the week. Have enjoyed a couple of wonderful days,so far with breathtaking scenery. Next month to Portland, OR for a five day trip, June to New York a long weekend, August to SanDiego Ca for a few days. These trips keep coming up as I see fantastic air fares. Just achieved a 2 million mile flier status with American Airlines, and from now on I'm Platinumn and earn 2x miles for all trips. - Saving for Bus Class for Thai in 09

I love nature and want to comb the "Wallace Line", a seam designated by Alfred Wallace that is located between Asian and Australian fauna in the Malay Archipelago. It passes between Bali and Lombok islands and between Borneo and Sulawesi.
