Personal Learning Journal
A place area for me to think on “paper” or simply a way to encapsulate my thoughts and days before they become a distant memory (a nice way of saying I can be forgetful).
Last day in HCMC. Our flight to Hanoi is at 7 pm so we had some time to relax before we left. Our check out time was 4 pm. We’ve been so exhausted going on tours and traveling that we didn’t even bother to go out today. The hotels we’ve been staying at have been […]
Today is our tour to the Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong River. We started out with breakfast at the hotel and were picked up at 7:45 am in a Ford “limo.” It looked dated but it was comfortable except for Jason’s chair. Anytime we hit a bump or his back put pressure against the

Today was another relax day. We grabbed some breakfast at the hotel and then I went to the executive lounge to finish up my blog from yesterday. It’s been a little more challenging getting the blogs out the same day with so much going on. I’ve been pretty tired and I’ve been trying to get

I’m glad that we didn’t plan much for our first day in HCMC. All we have is a night food tour at 6pm. For most of the day, we just relaxed and enjoyed the hotel. The Le Meridien in Saigon is located in District 1, where most of the American travelers tend to stay. District

Today is the day we leave Phuket and head over to Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC). Our flight flies to Bangkok first and we transfer there to head to HCMC. I got some great sleep last night. I’m glad I decided to not work out nor do my daily journal. I was able to get

One day late writing this post because I was drained from yesterday and I wanted to catch up on sleep. We had a full day. It was our James Bond Island tour. We had breakfast at the main restaurant on the resort before we were picked up and driven to the meetup spot to board
We left Chiang Mai early in the morning. Our flight to Phuket was at 9:40 am and we wanted to get there two hours before take off, so we left the hotel at 7:00 am. This gave us enough time to grab a quick bite to eat in the executive lounge and then we headed
Final day in Chiang Mai on my second visit. I forgot how long it’s been since I’ve been here. I began my trip in early September, first stop being Chiang Mai, and three months later I’m back. Everything is still very familiar and exactly as I remember but where we’re located now there are a

Today we went on our Chiang Rai tour. It’s a 13.5 hour tour that starts at 7:00 am to 8:30 pm. We drove to Chiang Rai to see the White temple and then the furthest point you can go in Thailand that reaches Laos and Myanmar (previously called Burma) called the Golden Triangle. We were

We completely missed the mark today with our tour planning. We had it set in our minds that we didn’t have anything planned today and that it was just a day to explore on our own. We were sorely mistaken and abruptly woken up from much-needed rest by a phone call from the front desk
