A haphazard chronicle of my inevitable misadventures during a year in Vietnam and points east.

p.s. I'll be pitifully grateful if you send me email during my exile: TravelerKaty@hotmail.com

A Word to the Wise VI

If you are leaving at 7:15 am for a five month trip, it is advisable that you do not:

1. save the packing until the morning you leave
2. stay out until 1:00 am the night before
3. drink several beers on an empty

Packing on five hours sleep with a low-grade hangover is just not fun, and, with proper planning, is avoidable.
