What is this blog all about?

Leslie and I have have been exploring the idea of a grand tour of Asia for almost 5 years.  We bought some books, examined every possible website, and started talking to other world travelers to get more insider information. 

We will travel to 9 different countries over 37 days and we have many exciting activities planned.  In chronological order we will visit Japan, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Malayasia, Thailand and finally Singapore. We will visit scores of world heritage sites, six of the top ten tallest structures in the world, seas, bays, rivers and more.  It will be a trip of extremes: we will ride slow elephants and high speed trains; we will stay in the middle of crowded Tokyo and on the sleepy side of a Ko Phi Phi island in the Andaman Sea; we will fly first class in a 777 over the Pacific ocean and coach in a small plane over the jungles of Laos. This is going to be a monumental celebration of 10 years married and 25 years of love!!!
