Holidays begin! There is nothing better than free holidays, well almost free! Last September my wife had won a free trip on the Reunification Express from Vamcouverisawesome.com. The prize pack came complete with an 11 day tour from Geckos, flights from the Adventure Centre and a prize pack from Arcteryx! I have to say I personally think the Arcteryx pack is probably the coolest! My wife is now sporting an awesome purple light weight rain shell and also a super cool travel pack! I will post pictures later for you!!! (note: prize was for her, I paid so I could tag along!)

We are really excited about this trip as we have been to Vietnam once before together about 7 years ago where we spent most of our time in the North. The reunification express will take us by train from Hanoi to Hue, Hoi Anh, Nha Trang and ten finally Ho Chi Minh City. At the end of the tour we will spend a few days back in Nha Trang enjoying some beach time!

I am happy we will also have some companions on this trip! My parents from Saskatchewan will be joing us on this adventure! None of us have ever done a planned tour so this will be a first! We are very keen to try this type of travel and to see if it fits our “travel style”.

Here’s to having a great well deserved holiday!

Simple things you miss when your on the road…

I’ll admit it, yes I love travel and experiencing new things.  But there are simple things that you start to miss very quickly.  I miss my wife, I love coming home at night and seeing her and of course sleeping in the same bed as her. When your on the road, the bed can be cold…i usually make sure my bed as like 1000000 pillows and end up spooning those all night… maybe that too much info…lol  

I also miss talking to my parents and grandparents, I talk to my parents probably 1 to 2 times per day, just saying hi, bouncing ideas off each other, etc… I am close to them and would consider them best friends over parents and better friends than any other friends that I might have… so that may be weird but i think its cool.

I am an uncle now, so that is super cool…I want to see baby Sayaka so bad, my wife uploads pictures and I get to see them via photo-stream on my iPhone so that is really wonderful!  

Being on the road, is good but there is a lot of “Life” that is missed, I wish there was a simple way to teleport quickly, there isn’t yet, so for now. I am thankful for technologies such as Skype, FaceTime, Photo-Stream and definitely the internet in general.
