Dang it's so hard to plan a vacation. First you get turned off the adventure tour thing, then Laos, the country you'd really like to visit, falls into political turmoil. Vietnam is still on the list and I'd really love to see Angkor Wat, but the latest plan is Costa Rica in Novemember and then Europe the following May. I found a place in Costa Rica that looks pretty laid back. It's called Playa Montezuma, yeah, named after the Goddess of Shit, but it's a former hippy hang out that is slightly more sophisticated but still nowhere near the development of Maui.
There's just no point in going to Cambodia without seeing a fewe days of Laos. I'm sorry, it's the heart of Southeast Asia, along the Mekong and French to boot. So it has that intriguing blend of Asian and French quisines. I've already heard about the classic Vietnamese quisine the "Vietnamese Sub" which consists of spicy barbequed chicken served in a French bagette. Crap, that sounds good.
I can always look forward to Europe and to re-energize my "Rural Heart of Europe" tour. Starting in Amersterdam, that traveling south through Belgium, into the Alsace region of France, into Luxemburg (just to say I went to Luxemburg), sailing down the Rhine to Munich, skipping over to Salzburg Austria before driving through the heart of the Czech Republic before heading back to Amsterdam.
Of course, Turkey's on the radar as well but there the inconvenience of bombings there too. Still, Istanbul, then down the Aegean would be exotic and mellow. Then there's Tunisia or perhaps Dominica or Cuba.
I can't believe people have the gaul to say "small world." The problem is the world is just too damn huge.
