We had to leave the hotel at 4:45 AM for our flight to Siem Reap Cambodia today. it still feels surreal that I am actually on this trip that I looked forward to for so long. The group gets along so well and I have so enjoyed spending time with these friends. It is 1000 times easier than traveling with students. And the hotels and meals are better too!
We took a little tour of the area and learned some history.
Ezra, Tina, Harvey, Warren, Jim and I had arranged to take a hot air balloon ride over the temple. We drove far out into the countryside where the neighborhood children were running around excitedly watching the big balloon fill up with air. When we arrived, they ran over to us and started practicing their English. They were adorable.
In the end it was too windy to fly, but we weren’t disappointed by the whole experience. It was magical.
Marsh Travels 
I think Magical is the appropriate word. Sorry about not flying in the balloon but be being with the kids truly must have been special. The Vietnam food all looked fabulous. Is Cambodian food the same?
I think you are fabulous Marsh. I do feel like I get to share in it a little bit.
