March 24 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 39 °FAfter 36 hours of travel from Luan Prabang, Laos to Tokyo Japan, we made it to Seattle very jet lagged and exhausted. We checked into a comfy hotel and isolated ourselves binging on movies and catching up on sleep for two days since our three attempted flights back home were cancelled due to lack ofRead more
Orly MunzingYay! We were welcomed with a new patch of snow! Good to be home! Can’t wait to see you!
March 21 in Laos ⋅ ☀️ 97 °FWe have decided to cut our trip short due to the Corona Virus epidemic. Too many uncertainties, and each day brings more sad news. We feel we are traveling in a sinking ship. We are grateful and feel blessed for the privilege and amazing learning opportunity and a better understanding of theRead more
Bob Nassau here. Guess you're on your way back now. A wise choice, save the rest for another day. When you get back, try to find some Laotian mysteries by Colin Cotterill, and his fictional hero, Dr. Siri, the only pathologist in Vientiane. Safe travels and take care of each other. Self isolation in our area is not too difficult to do.
Orly MunzingHi Bob! The trip was beyond our expectation of joy it brought to our hearts making new friends and having a better understanding of the kind culture that is so embedded in the people of Southeast Asia. So much to learn and take away. We both want to go back and finish our journey. I used the health tracking website you provided daily. Thank you for that. Will pick up Cotterill’s novel on our Kindle. Will have plenty of time in our self imposed isolation upon returning home tonight. We are finally sitting in an empty Seattle airport ready to board back home. I am puzzled that they are not checking temperature upon arrival and departure here. Everywhere airport or tourist attractions in Southeast Asia has a temp checkpoint. Oh! I highly, highly recommend reading Sapiens by Yuval Farrari.
I see you're now safely at home. Get some rest and over your jet lag during your isolation. I'm so glad you enjoyed the part of your trip you ere able to do. You can finish up next year, Regards, Bob N.

Tham Ting (lower cave) and the Tham Theung (upper cave) are caves overlooking the Mekong River. They are a group of two caves about two hours upstream from the centre of Luang Prabang. The boat ride was amazing.
The caves are noted for their miniature Buddha sculptures. Hundreds of very small andRead more

The Magnificent Kuang Si Falls is “nature at its best”. It is a three-tiered waterfall about 18 mi south of Luang Prabang, and begin in shallow pools atop a steep hillside. These lead to the main fall with a drop of 200 ft.
The gorgeous well maintained park is also a bear rescue center, whereRead more
Orly MunzingDennis, the photos are a glimpse of its wonder. One feels they are in a painting. It is a surreal moment!
