Day 1 – 37 hours of travel

The journey has begun. Andy our driver is fantastic. He is also Vietnamese. He shared where to eat, marriage rituals, and how to say happy new years in Vietnamese. Here he is loading our bags.

The result of his efforts. He is available to organize closets and kitchens on the side. A great packer.

Here are two of our traveling companions. Let me introduce you. The lady, my second wife and more on that later, is known as the GOAT. The guy, a fellow traveling vest guy, is known as Mikey.

Off to the airport where we start our 8 plus hour layover with lunch.

I have to make a correction. Yesterday I introduced you to The Hair. I was mistaken. He was baptised Omaha, not the Hair. Here he is in case you forgot the most interesting man at the boulders.

Today I have a poll. Does Mikey look like the former President Harry Truman? Here are their pictures. Let me know.

Vote!

What did we do before cell phones?

We are now on the Polaris lounge. Dirk and his young bride join us. Dirk has purchased a Fly Kit. He has to take all the pills, no drinking and wear those special glasses. He swears his body will better adapt than cookies and beer. My dinner.

What a full day. Only a 17 and half hour flight to go. Wish me luck. Until our paths cross.
