Heading back to Seattle

My, how time has passed! We arrived on the 10th Feb in Cambodia and we are leaving today on the 25th Feb. I am writing this blog at the airport as we speak. Sandhya and  I have our boarding passes, have gone through security and are now waiting at the departure gate. The scheduled departure time is 12:30 pm.

As usual, Gate1 has come through with flying colors. Their tour management process is excellent. The attention to detail is unbelievable. Up until our departure from the hotel, our tour guide was there to make sure our baggage was loaded on to the mini-bus that brought us to the airport. This is our 3rd tour with Gate1. We'll probably use Gate1 for our next trip.
Our Travel Itenerary

To recap, we visited three countries and 7 cities. We flew from Seattle to Bangkok via Seoul, from Bangkok to Siem Reap in Cambodia, and then from Siem Reap to Saigon (Ho Chi Minh city) in Vietnam. In Vietnam we toured Saigon, the ancient city of Hoi An, the ancient capital of Hue, the beach in Da Nang and Hanoi--the sparkling city. We also made an excursion to scenic Halong Bay.

By the end of the trip we were a very happy group with boisterous laughter coming from the backbenchers in the bus. The guide had to sometimes raise his voice to get people's attention. But it was all fun and games. Here is a picture of our group that we took in Halong Bay.

That's it for this trip. Keep an eye out for our next trip, perhaps in the next year.
