About this blog

Off again on an incredible journey, this time we are covering five countries in Asia: Hong Kong, India, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam.

We were in India in 1986 for a few weeks when I was lucky enough to attend the Duke of Edinburgh's Commonwealth Study Conference. I was sponsored by my then employer, the BC Government Employees' Union. Jacqui and I came to India and visited Bombay, Aurangabad (to see the Ellora Caves) and Goa. I also visited Madras as part of the conference. On the way to India, Jacqui stayed two nights in Hong Kong.

This trip is all new stuff for us and we are very excited to explore these difficult and wondrous places.
