It’s beginning to feel a lot like Arizona.
July 29, 2007 – 7:56 am
Arizona? That’s right, not exactly, but it is true. A few years ago on a trip to Scottsdale, AZ to visit my friend Chad’s father, I had a conversation with his fathers girlfriend. Chad and I had driven down to AZ to purchase a boat and tow it back to Colorado. We were in a Jeep […]
Where in the world are the trucks?
July 28, 2007 – 7:54 am
Although our interactions with the border guards on Monday gave us a feeling of comfort leaving the trucks at the Cambodian border, some second thoughts of course still existed. Is it safe to leave our cars at this border? The main immigration officer that we were dealing with told us it would be okay to leave […]
"Man This Place Has Changed"
July 27, 2007 – 7:44 am
My father served in the U.S. Navy in Vietnam for 20 months. He spent 10 months working with the U.S. Marines in Dong Ha, a few miles south of the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), and then another 10 months working to train Vietnamese locals in Go Cong Province about 2 hours south of what was then Saigon. When my dad arrived in […]
Troubles at the Border
July 24, 2007 – 6:54 am
So far, we have had pretty smooth sailing in terms of crossing new frontiers with the trucks. We anticipated some potential problems in southern Thailand… no worries. We were a little anxious about Cambodia… nice people. We had researched as much as we could from as many sources as possible about crossing into Vietnam with the […]
Heartbeat of Cambodia
July 23, 2007 – 2:20 am
Phnom Penh. The capital city of Cambodia. It is without a doubt one of the most interesting cities we have been to yet. It is a city full of life, culture, history as well as intrigue and mystery. A lot has gone down in Phnom Penh but from the looks of it, the city has a […]
3 more days
July 22, 2007 – 1:49 am
Cambodia has been a wonderful time. I really do not want to leave this place, but the show must go on. Tomorrow we will begin our trip to the border of Vietnam and head for Ho Chi Min City. There we will pick up Bouey’s father and a couple of others to head up north. […]
If I meet another expat…
July 21, 2007 – 5:15 am
I will probably go up and give them a hug. For those of you that don’t know what I am talking about, expat is short for expatriate, which is a person who resides in a country other than the one that they hail from. We have met people from the US, UK, Hungary, Russia, Greece, […]
New Photo Galleries from Thailand and Cambodia
July 19, 2007 – 6:54 am
It is a huge task. There are so many amazing things that we see daily that we do not realize just how many photos we have to go through. Steve Bouey did most of the work editing the photos and getting them up online. Overall I think that he went through over a thousand photos […]
Our First Wonder of the World
July 18, 2007 – 3:42 am
A long time ago the seven ancient wonders of the world were made official in a poem by Antipater of Sidon, who described the structures around 140 BC: "I have set eyes on the wall of lofty Babylon on which is a road for chariots, and the statue of Zeus by the Alpheus, and the hanging gardens, and […]
