Hello out there in Cyberland,
Lou and I are about to take off on another adventure. This time we will be joining an REI Adventure cycling tour in Vietnam for two weeks. We are leaving sunny Montara for tropical Ho Chi Minh City on Wednesday and will arrive late Thursday night. We meet up with the tour on Saturday, the 21st and will make our way up the long, skinny country of Vietnam with the assist of a couple of plane flights and a sag wagon as we pedal our way over rice paddies, through villages and to resorts on the coast. Ultimately we will end up in Hanoi. From what I have read in my trusty Lonely Planet Guide (I guess Rick Steves doesn't do Asia), it says that getting on the internet is relatively easy BUT that the Vietnamese government regularly blocks access to social networking sites such as Facebook. So we should not expect to keep in touch, update and upload anything to Facebook. So, that is why I am using this blog site.
If you wish, and ONLY if you wish, you will be able to see what we are up to in our journey through this blog. But that means you will have to "follow" me.
It is called Travels with Joan and Lou.
I hope it will be interested for us all.
Joan
