Leaving for Vietnam!

Spring Festival is almost here. I get a month off starting today. And We're going to Vietnam...by train.

I know that train tickets are hard to buy this time of year but we still didn't buy our tickets early. We wanted to go to Guilin and Yangshou, where Buckland group is, to go rock climbling, but there aren't any train tickets until Jan. 12. So we ended up buying a ticket on the spur of the moment to Guangzhou广州.... I was just trying to think of some place in the south that we could still get to Vietnam. Now we're going to the capital of the Canton region. We have a friend there so if we get stuck there for a few days hopefully he can tell us some places to go.

In Vietnam, we'll first go to Hanoi and to Halong Bay to do some climbing. Then maybe visit some villages in the north. Then we want to make our way to the south, where it's warm. Somewhere in the middle we'll hopefully meet up with our friend Brian, who's going to surf. Then hang out on the beaches a little. And at the end of our trip we'll go in to Cambodia to see Angkor Wat :) I really wanted to see it a few years ago when I was traveling in Thailand and didn't so I'm really excited now.

Leaving tonight! Can't wait!
