M-P dans le bain!

Ok, so this is the big day. This evening, we get on a plane to land in Vietnam some 36 hours later, hopefully (no, not all that time will be spent on the plane, there's a six-hour stopover in Taipei).

Last minute jitters aside, I'm pretty excited about the whole thing. And it's nice to have someone to talk to about it the whole way through.

Since I don't know how easy it will be to find internet cafes outside of Saigon, I won't promise anything, but I do promise to update as often as I can.

And now, let us raise a toast to Vietnam, to travel and to backpacks that don't feel like their weight.
