War Remnants Musuem, Beach, and Vietnamese Kiss, Marry, Kill
This week had quite a bit going on, much of which was forced upon us since we had to leave our Airbnb for a few days. That turned out to be a welcome nudge though to get us out there seeing more in Vietnam. We visited a beach town called Vung Tau which you can…
Cu Chi Tunnels, Ho Chi Minh Sights, and AK47s
In this week of travel we fit in a lot of activity. Most notably we went on a tour of the Cu Chi Tunnels (day 194 below) where we got to experience what the VC fighters and locals had to endure during the war. On that tour AC also shot an AK47 which felt like…
Exploring Ho Chi Minh City With An Overclocked Brain
This week we really got settled into our great Airbnb and the immediate surrounding area. Feeling comfortable with our surroundings, we started exploring Ho Chi Minh City. First up was the tallest building in Vietnam, and the 17th tallest in the world, Landmark 81 (Day 185 below). Next was a motorbike tour of food and…

Tarzan Falls Guam
Tarzan Falls Today (Day 149 11/23) we finally got around to adding Tarzan Falls to our Guam adventures. These falls are on the east-central side of the island near Yona. It took a 30 minute drive to get there from Tumon Bay, and then it’s about a 1.5 mile hike into the falls. The Hike…
Dudes That Talk But Don’t Listen
Travel Log: Day 146 (11/20), Guam school and beach Regular school day, nothing noteworthy. We went to the nearest beach in the afternoon where BC played with his newly built boat. The boat is pretty cool with a sail and outrigger coconuts to keep it stable. While we were there a guy I recognized from…
