Brief update from Vietnam:
We arrived in Hanoi yesterday around 4 pm. Walked around the city for a bit, and had an awesome lunch in the form of a massive bowl of beef pho and a whole chicken with rice. At 8:30 pm we took a night train to Sapa in northern Vietnam. The ride took about 9 hours and we had a private sleeper cabin with 4 beds and AC (about $15 a person). Sapa is high up in the mountains near the Chinese border. It is much cooler here (15-20 C) and constantly foggy/misty and raining. A nice break from the brutal heat in the rest of the region!
We got a nice guesthouse and now we are going to swing by the market and then figure out if we're going trekking today or tomorrow.
This post will be updated/expanded later, just wanted to update you guys on where we are now...

Hey, I haven't been posting on here but I've been following allowing with your trip. I've been on one of my own trips offshore here in the gulf for the past week or so. Expect a call from me when I get off this thing next week (hopefully). Take care out there and keep taking lots of pictures.
