Destination Wedding: Riviera Maya

I just got back from Mexico a couple days ago.  Akumal, Mexico in fact.  Destination wedding was the primary reason, but for a bonus I enjoyed a fantastic vacation meeting some awesome people and enjoying a chance to relax.  Unlike the majority of my travels, I didn’t feel like I needed a vacation for my vacation (though I’d never turn one down).  Most of the trip involved laying by a pool or the beach, enjoying a beverage, and excellent company.

Hello. I’m in Australia: Memento Style

Soooooooooooooooooooooooo…good news. For Christmas, I finally got my computer charged again, so I can actually make posts with a keyboard rather than using my phone, camera, uhhhh…mobile device.  My parents sent over a new charger that Microsoft sent to their house.  It cost a lot, but I also got my watch replaced (it wasn’t elephant wrestling proof so it went down the Mekong river) so that was also in the box.

Now that I have my computer again and can make real posts, guess I don’t have an excuse not to update this site once again.  Sorry for taking so long! (more…)

Ha Long Bay, North Vietnam

3 Wonderful Destinations in Vietnam: Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, and Cat Ba Island

I arrived in Hanoi a few days ago, and I’ve already had a whirlwind of an adventure. I saw an amazing local violinist playing in a bar, went on a boat tour of Ha Long Bay, and met some incredible people along the way. I’ve spent a few nights in Hanoi, one night on a boat, and one night on Cat Ba Island. Now, I’m off to Hue, Vietnam. Before I go, let me tell you about my adventure so far.
