We have just arrived back from a relaxing break in the north with family.
Case is still by the door and washing in progress.

2 days to update iTunes collection; check tickets; book taxk; have a 2nd thought about "what-if's!" ad final pack. 3 weeks.
Weather forecast is 35C and generally overcast. In Asia, that means very very humid and stick with torrential downpours for 30mins or so; brief flooding followed by sunshine and cool air; then repeat. So should be fun.
Most looking forward to swimming in the pool and eating spicy soup/noodles.
This will be my 41st country and I'm looking forward to vising Asia again....really got to get to Africa more and South America for sure.
Next update will be from the airport 3.8.10 (pm).

Up north relaxing...

Reading through Lonely Planet Vietnam, highlighting, page-folding, note-taking, circling and adding asterisks!
Last check on visas and reservations this week and last minute purchases: mosquito repellant, kagool, suncream and beach reading...

Vietnam

9 days to go.
Flights booked.
Hotels booked.
Visa arrived.

After lots of pondering and more pondering, we have finally decided to go to Vietnam. After Brazil, Europe, Cuba and South Africa dreaming....the free airmiles was the deciding factor. Ross had so many free airmiles to cash in, it was a no-brainer! 70,000 = x1 free flight. We saved £700!
