Today we stood in THE LONGEST immigration line ever!! Going into Thailand from Cambodia at Poipet was insane. It was organized but so very slow. Our driver came to get us promptly at 7:30 this morning and we wound our way out of Siem Reap to the north. The road was nice and smooth thank […]
Read MoreAhhh. Our final day in the tuk tuk seeing temples. It was wonderful and exhausting. Wet took us to the biggie, Angkor Wat, first where we tried to avoid the crowds by going in along the side and seeing he famous panels from the reverse tour route. It is massive and gorgeous. The kids were […]

There is tight security with metal detectors and they took away my bottled water and gum – but […]

In fact our pilot had to go around, which added a half hour to our already delayed flight. bummer…puking Koreans everywhere. We both fell asleep again on the bus home; it was […]
Read MoreToday we had a liesurely day of shopping and swimming. Woke up to another sunny hot day and read an email from my Dad about snow in PA! Hard to imagine as I’ve been sweating from every pore all day. We had breakfast and packed up our stuff checkout – they stored our suitcase for […]
Read MoreWe awoke this morning to a deluge; it was the most and strongest rain I’ve ever seen, complete with lightning and thunder. Powerful. Took our time having breakfast, and hung out at the hotel for a bit waiting for it to let up. Surprisingly to me it was over in an hour. We boarded our […]
