Family Vacation
My parents were just here for their semi-annual Asian Adventure. They bopped all around Singapore, headed to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam for five days, and wrapped things up with a quick jaunt to beautiful Krabi, Thailand. It was quite a full trip – we saw nearly every side of Southeast Asia -- with lots of elephants and war relics and Singapore Slings and island-hopping and some extremely delicious mango sticky rice. Oh! And! I got to shoot an M-16, which was kind of amazing and very loud. Let's go to the photos….
First, Ho Chi Minh City: Crazy, busy, bustling, full of motorbikes and lacquerware and fantastic French architecture. Also, lots and lots of delicious iced coffee and some really great food.
We spent a day north of the city, checking out the famous Cu Chi tunnels (where they let you shoot old M-16s) and then heading to the absolutely amazing Cao Dai Temple, which is fanastically colorful and surreal:
Back into town again:
Then on to Krabi! Almost exactly the opposite of HCMC. Lots of beaches, blue skies, bluer water, melt-in-your-mouth mango sticky rice and extremely spectacular sunsets.

ummm...which beach in Krabi did you stay at?
klong muang, at the nice (and budget-friendly) krabi sands resort (the sofitel is just up the road, and it was pretty fantastic, if you're looking for something a little nicer. i'd suggest you avoid the sheraton.) the area was super-quiet and very relaxing -- the beach right in front of the hotel was only so-so, but we took a boat out to some of the nearby little islands and they were lovely.
