Back from this year's Mind Journey to Southeast Asia

Since our mom passed away 10 years ago, my brother Abbey and I have taken a major trip together every year. These family excursions become a time to celebrate our ever maturing relationship as siblings, reflect on our family history, and to just kick loose, raise a little hell, and get our eyes opened a little further about the varieties and meanings of life on our wonderful planet. This year we chose a tour of Southeast Asia from 10/26 - 11/9 '08
ITINERARY: Vietnam: Hanoi, Hue, Da Nang, Hoi An, Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon)...with China Beach and Cu Chi Tunnels thrown in Cambodia: Phnom Penh with a day at the Killing Fields and Siem Riep (Angkor Wat) with a cruise on Tonle Sap (lake) and visit to a tradtiional floating village to round things out. Thailand: Bangkok

Slide Show
I managed to pare the roughly 2,000 stills I took down to the 220 or so I've included here.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful photos; a Mind Journey indeed--from the beauty of Ha Long, the mystery of Angkor, to the horror of the Killing Fields. Donna and I enjoyed traveling with you and Abbey and we hope to see you again in NYC in the future.

Bill
