Voyage of Grand Asia and Cambodia

On this Asia cruise we sailed the Sea of Japan and the Yellow and South China Seas, winding our way around islands and down a coastline that has enticed explorers, adventurers, conquerors and kings for centuries.

The Best Time to Take a Cruise on the Mekong River

The Mekong River is a year-round travel destination but depending on when you go, you?ll have a different experience. The best time to take a cruise down the Mekong is during the dry season, between November and April. Though November through January is the ideal time because the usual temperature won?t be too high and the wet season has already passed.

Southeast Asia

Four crazy kids, three countries, two weeks...it was my first trip to Asia and I'm hooked. We experienced the authentic facets and features of Southeast Asia: the bustling city life and lights of Hong Kong, the never ending traffic of motor bikes, the serene, peaceful sights of rice fields and cattle of Hanoi, and the steaming curries of Cambodian …

Welcome to Angkor Wat!

Cambodia & Thailand

From Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam we ventured on yet another everlasting bus ride to Siem Reap, Cambodia. Siem Reap held a single purpose for us, as it does many. Angkor Wat. After agreeing to the four-day tour, we learned this city has so much more to offer than just this incredible UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Returning For Another Asia Adventure!

I’ve mentioned in previous travel stories about taking along the family. My very first time abroad I spent the first two weeks with my sister and mother. Having never been abroad before, my eyes were opened next to theirs to the excitement and breath of fresh air SE Asia provides. I leaned heavily on their excitement too. Since that trip, …

It took a little doing but we managed to squeeze in a side trip to Siem Reap at the end of our trip. Angkor Wat gets all the love, but the temple complexes in this region are vast and varied.

Of course Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom are the most well-known. They've also been the best excavated and maintained, so, despite thousands of tourists …

Cambodia

When our group arrived to Siem Reap, Cambodia, we were greeted with one of the most beautiful airports I had ever seen — it looked like it had been recently built, with shiny spotless floors, lots of glass, and uniquely Cambodian touches inside. Staff from the hostel we had booked were waiting outside the airport for us with tuk-tuks; we …

The Temples of Cambodia

The temple ruins of Siem Reap rise from the jungles of Cambodia like a gift from the past — a gift for all the wide-eyed visitors, but also for the local people. For a country that has seen three decades of war, genocide and poverty, the wonders of Angkor bestow strong cultural pride and a new economy of tourism.

Be sure to sign up for all the tours, otherwise you will be sitting on the boat since not all stops are moored at a dock. Some are anchored.

There were two best aspects to our trip: 1. The Adventure Life folks and the folks in Athens and Crete who supported our itinerary, guided us, and ran the cooking program were all superb. 2. Everything they all planned for us went without a hitch. When we needed a bit of help, they came through with really good answers. We became aware of AL from a friend who had an excellent experience in a different location. So did we. We can recommend AL without reservation.

We have used AL for decades now to plan trips. Kassandra has been with us from the start and has never disappointed. She knows our family and our quirks and is always willing to fit the trip to us. This time we made her work for the booking because of family member schedules. It has all come together for a great Christmas gift for many families.
