We’re off again. This time it’s a 5 week trip beginning in Singapore, then Malaysia, Taiwan, Cambodia, ending in Vietnam.  Tuesday, 4 Oct., we are going to Toronto and will have dinner with Cathy Brian and Deborah.  We catch a Cathay Pacific flight at 1:45 am on 5 Oct. for Hong Kong, (15 hours), a 3 hour layover, then 3 hours to Singapore arriving at 11:45 am on 6 Oct.

    Most of our travel is with ‘Go Ahead Torus’. The first part of our schedule begins in Singapore, (see goaheadtours.ca/sam), and ends in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.  We are not taking the tour extension to Bali, Indonesia. 
    We are then on our own for 3 days in Kuala Lumpur then we fly to Bangkok, Thailand were we spend 3 days before joining another Go Ahead Tour of Thailand and Cambodia, (see goaheadtours.ca/tai).  This time we take the extension to Siem Reap, Cambodia. 
    Instead of returning to Bangkok to fly home, we leave the group at Siem Reap and fly to Ho Chi Min City, Vietnam, (formerly Saigon).  Our son Bruce is vacationing in Vietnam and well meet us at the airport in Ho Chi Min City as he arrives from Hanoi 20 minutes after we do.  We spend 3 nights in Ho Chi Min then go up the coast to the beach area at Mui Ne for 3 nights.  We then return to Ho Chi Min for one night then fly back to Canada via Hong Kong, again about 21 hours traveling arriving about 8pm.  In Toronto we will go to a hotel for the night before driving home.

I will try to keep this up to date but much will depend on internet access.  So long for now and check back again in a few days.   .....................   Dick
