Well, Amy and I are approaching the end of our time in Vietnam, and, in fact, our sojourn across Southeast Asia. She leaves me on the 13th of December (that's next Sunday), and the same day, I fly from Saigon to Manila. It's incredibly sad, and we're both trying not to think about it. We've had such an incredible (life changing, even!!) five months traveling this amazing region, and time has flown by so quickly, that it's hard to believe it's quickly coming to an end.

Amy and I always have fun together...even on crappy buses

That said, they have not ended yet. We're currently in Dalat (it's high in the mountains, and freaking cold!!). Tomorrow, we're going canyoning (which, as I mentioned on my Twitter status, I wasn't even aware was a verb until today...in fact, even the spell checker on this computer doesn't recognize it as a word - give options like cannoning and cantoning, but no canyoning). It basically involves rappelling down 22 meter cliffs and all that good fun. The cliff we're going on is actually a waterfall - I'm a bit confused by this. Why wouldn't we go to one that doesn't have water gushing into our faces? Wouldn't you be able to see a lot better? Anyways, it is what it is.

We're planning to leave Dalat on Sunday, and push on to Mui Ne, which is a beach town famous for sand dunes. Apparently, you can sled down them. THAT sounds pretty damn cool. What doesn't sound cool is that you have to get up at 4am to see the sunrise over the sand dunes. Why are people so obsessed with sunrises? Why aren't they more obsessed with sleep? Sunrises are unnatural. We're going to spend three or four nights in Mui Ne, and then head back to Saigon.

Next Friday is going to be a big one, since it's our last party night before Amy leaves (we don't want to do it Saturday, since we both have flights on Sunday). Thinking Amy needs to try some karaoke...
