Thanks! It has been a tough ride so far but in the end we know the experience will be one we won’t soon forget :-)

Cycling the length of Vietnam is something that has seemed appealing to me before, too, but realising that it’s OK to set out and not reach your intended destination takes a certain kind of calm acceptance of reality that I don’t have yet, so good on you!

I’m so glad we’ve been able to get your travel juices flowing! Our packing list was pretty specific to our trip as we are focusing on cycling during our time here. We plan to do a comprehensive list at the end of our journey but I’ll give you a sneak peek since you asked ;-) 2 cycling shorts, a couple quick dry athletic shirts, some comfortable clothes to wander around town in, the usual toiletries, and a first aid kit are some of the main components. We did end up leaving behind some clothes (mostly extra t-shirts) to lighten the load after the first week of tough hills. :-p

However, my wife and I are haven’t been overseas in a while and your blog may have just provided some sharp pangs of the traveling bug. I’m also really curious to see a packing list of what you began with… and what you end up keeping in those packs. I think I just heard that there has been some lightning of the load as time goes one!
