6/25/13 Vang Vieng-> Luang Prabang Saibadee! That means hello. :) Yesterday can be summed up like this: 7 hours driving in twisted mountain roads in the rain. We got up to have breakfast at the hotel. I have now had eggs and bread every morning for a week. I really could go for some Cap'n Crunch or Coco Puffs, but I digress. We boarded our tour van and set out about 8:30. We headed up to the mountains. The roads were super wet and super curvy. We witnes...

After checking into the hotel, we got a couple hours to hang out before dinner. I got to room with Laura again, which I was happy about because she was a great roommate in Vientiane. There were 2 beds in the room- one king and one twin and Laura offered to sleep on the twin. Since we had a couple hours, I used the wifi and tried to take a nap in my huge bed. At 7:30 we walked to a restaurant nearby. It was outside (like everything is) and had 2 tv's and a pool ...

6/22/13 Vientiane-> Vang Vieng Dinner last night was delish! We went to a restaurant that had western and traditional Lao food. I ordered a noodle dish with spicy peppers, onions and bacon.

Everyone else ordered dessert but I was too full (these European girls can eat!!! They each had ice cream with at least 2 ...

6/22/13 Hanoi-> Vietiane So apparently I'm still jet lagged because I woke up at 4:30 and 6:30 this morning. I decided to get up around 8:30 to have breakfast. Kristine met me downstairs in the scorching hot lobby. I had warm fruit, warm juice and warm eggs (do you see a pattern!?) I then finished packing my bag ( side note- I'm the only one on the whole trip that has a rolling duffel bag... Everyone else has massive backpacks!) I brought all my stuff down...

6/21/13 Hanoi After waking up 2 times during the night (2 am and 4 am), I decided to get up around 8:30. I got a Skype call from Jed (yay!) around 8:45. I got dressed and went to the lobby for breakfast. I had eggs and lots of fruit. I overheard two British girls saying to another two girls that the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum was closed today, along with a couple other museums. I decided to not even worry about making my way to those museums and instead catch a cab e...
