I can’t believe we’re actually this close to our trip. There were many times I doubted it would really happen throughout the early process. I was always worried something would come up that would prohibit me from going. As we get closer, I’m getting everything ready to go and getting very excited. It still feels so weird that I’ll actually be going to Vietnam and especially Laos. I had hoped to go to Vietnam for awhile after I had seen how gorgeous of a destination it was, but I never expected to visit a country like Laos, which has me extra excited. At this point I am very ready to go. Having a break from work and school (kind of) is an added bonus to an already awesome opportunity.
