Steve and Benita's Adventures: Thank you Steven!

Steven has done an absolute,y amazing job organizing and planning this trip. For months, he was hunched over his computer reading, comparing, thinking, combing through travel forums...deciding where we should go, where we should stay,how long we should stay, arranging flights. I would wake up in the middle of the night and see the glow from his computer screen. I would go back to sleep. He would keep on reading..

Me....I did very little in the planning except for the occasional opinion when asked if I liked this or that. So here we are experiencing the results of all his efforts......and everything has been fabulous, fascinating and flawless..(except for a minor glitch on our arrival in Hanoi). Drivers always there to meet is at the airport or train stations; accommodations that were thoughtfully chosen so as to not look like cookie-cutter hotel rooms that could be anywhere, are just that - rooms that reflect the local character; and the places we have visited so far, as well as the length of time we spent in each place, have been a great introduction to this stunning, war-torn, poor, welcoming and exotic part do the world.
