If there were any spending barriers prior to today, they are no more. I’ve been on a tear booking flights and hotels throughout Vietnam, as well as a campervan in New Zealand. This was made possible in part (ok, mostly) by our great friends Shelley and John, Loan, and Ivan. They’ve all offered up some great suggestions based on their experiences traveling and even living in the area. So, why book everything today you ask? The answer is probably this simple: Nicole’s been out of the country for the past month, and she returns tomorrow.

In addition to catching up on all the trip planning I should have done a while ago, I’ll be doing the dishes (feng shui), cleaning the bathroom, picking up the Taco Bell crumbs left in her car, and probably taking my Terrapin license plate cover back. I’m not sure what happened to the Duke license plate cover.
