Lightweight day packs and other gear for optimal touring in the subtropical sun!

Getting there is most of the $$ battle... anything helps!

Street food, fine dining, you name it...Bangkok has it all. In addition to enjoying the full palate of central Thai flavors, we are particularly looking forward to an eating tour of Chinatown's best street vendors.

From Lonely Planet: "Among the largest markets in the world, Chatuchak seems to unite everything buyable, from used vintage sneakers to baby squirrels." While those things in particular do not strike our fancy, we look forward to a day of shopping, haggling and eating in this bustling gem.

We need to eat in Thailand and Vietnam (and we will) .. these funds will go a long away in this part of the world. More than enough curry for a month!

Help us catch some hours of serenity in a peaceful hotel with riverside views and access.

We went for it, folks...a luxury hotel on the idyllic island of Koh Samui. Beachside bliss, here we come!

Fund a daylong jaunt around the lower Thai gulf, including many opportunities for snorkeling, exploring remote beaches and rock formations, and lunch on the island of Ko Phagnan.

Help us melt off years of grad school tension with some beachside massage and spa delights!

We chose a unique co-op-style guesthouse, nestled in the bustling metropolis, for our base of operations in Ho Chi Minh City.

Fund our exploration of the difficult modern history of Vietnam with trips to the famed War Remnants Museum and Reunification Palace.

This historic market in the center of Cholon, HCMC's Chinatown, is sure to delight and surprise. We will spend a morning exploring this offbeat section of the city.

Posh bar 52 stories in the sky, here we come!

The famous Angkor Wat is the world's largest religious building, and is part of a staggering series of intricate and grand temples. We plan to go at dawn to beat the heat and catch the sunrise over this landmark of divine proportions.

After we're all templed out, help us unwind and take in the pace of life in Siem Reap, a dining and cultural capital of Cambodia.

A must for temple-goers.

Once a major port, this central Vietnamese town is rich in history and old-world charm. A perfect last stop on our adventures!

Hoi An is supposed to be a major town for foodies, and we plan to find out for ourselves--with your help. Our tastebuds will thank you!

The Citadel is as it sounds--moat, heavily-fortified masonry and all. We'll catch a glimpse of the glories of old imperial Vietnam and relax in the shade of immaculately kept imperial gardens.

40 km west of Hoi An lies what was once a beautiful French mountain resort. Visitors today can hike trails leading to waterfalls and spectacular viewing points. We'll take any chance we can to catch a breath of rarefied mountain air!

Because no honeymoon is complete without a few romantic dinner dates!

One last night in Vietnam before we fly out!
