Keep ‘em coming Doug - I’m really enjoying your travelogue as a back seat driver! Did you drop by the Nong Trai Cun Puppy Farm while in Da Lat? It looks like the place to see if you’re a dog lover!

No, didn't know of it. Quite the opposite of consuming dog meat (perish the thought).

hehe...literally. I've got another week back on the beach then heading to Siem Reap in Cambodia. I plan on converting my one month "ordinary" tourist visa to an annual "retirement" visa for Cambodia that would allow me to come and go. I'm told that this can be done at local travel agencies. I'll show them a "statement" of benefits from the Soc. Security admistration. I'm condident that that will be sufficient.

It's been my goal to do this in case of "severe storms" back home. Thailand is becoming like the EU in it's bureaucracy, so they've disqualified themselves. I'm doing a month at an Airbnb in Siem Reap; it's a nice little apartment and is brand new: See this link (hope it works):

“ Can you believe that these pictures are from Vietnam?? Vietnam is a surprisingly large country with a lot of history and even varied topography.”

Yep, I can believe it. North Vietnam & South Vietnam has always been a lush tropical region / area…. All of your pictures look really great!!!! 😊

Thank you! ...and nice beaches and good food where I'm at. Next on my agenda is Siem Reap in Cambodia. I've already booked an Airbnb rental for 31 days: I plan on getting an annual retirement visa for Cambodia. I can go to a travel agent to apply at the end of my tourist visa. I'm sure it'll involve a fee, but I'll pay it.
