The Itinerary...

As this next section is dedicated to our wonderful trip home, here is a reminder of where we went and how we got there!

Our first stop:
India.  We are touring the Golden Triangle.  New Delhi, Jaipur and Agra (home to the Taj Mahal).

Then we fly to Singapore.

After a few days in Singapore, we board a train and head to Thailand.  Along the way we have a brief stop in Kuala Lumpur, and then we head up through Malaysia to Surat Thani in Thailand.  From Surat Thani, we take a ferry to Koh Samui, where we will spend a week on the beach and in the sun.  

From Koh Samui, we fly to Bangkok where we will stay for a few days. 

From Bangkok, we fly to Siem Reap and the temples of Angor Wat for a few days.  

From Siem Reap, we fly to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon).  We are there for a few days, until we board a train and head up the coast of Vietnam to Mui Ne.  There, we will relax on the beach for a week!

From Mui Ne, we will return (by train) to Saigon, and board an airplane to Seoul, South Korea.  

In Seoul, we will spend a few days touring the city, and then spend one day in Demilitarized Zone (on the border with North Korea).  

From Seoul, we fly to Beijing.  We are in Beijing for a week, until the Olympics!  

From Beijing, we fly to Tokyo.  After a few days, we will take the bullet train to Kyoto, where we stay for a few days in a traditional ryokan.  We will then take the train back to Tokyo, where we will FINALLY catch a flight to San Francisco.
