Nearing the end

Hello all! It's been a really long time. Spent the last few weeks exploring the rest of Vietnam (along the coast) and then headed into Laos via the new Dien Bien Phu border crossing. Spent some time in rock climbing and doing some little hikes in these countries. Am now stationed in Vang Vieng for a few days as it's so beautiful here and also the tubing aspect has hooked Jan. It's a really cool concept, floating down the river in an inner tube and then stopping by bars along the way. Also there are these huge rope swings which I'm too chicken shit to try... but it looks really fun.
Only about 2 weeks until I return to Canada and I'm so looking forward to it! Life is Asia is good fun in the sun but am craving home cooked meals and my own bed! and of course seeing everyone back home as well!
