I spent my last day in the states trying to stay up all night (in order to be better adjusted to the 12 hour time difference that SE Asia has). Rachel stayed up with me and we made it to about 4:30 am when we decided to take a short 2 and a half hour nap. This is my first attempt at a travel blog so I'll try to keep it up to date with some highlights of the trip for each day with some cool pics. I'm hoping to post every day or every other day. The trip itinerary is below for anyone interested, for those who don't know, my dad and I are going to south east Asia for 5 and a half weeks (41 days) and are visiting 4 different countries including Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand (in order).
